Template:R:Webmineral/documentation

Usage

This template may be used in "References" and "Further reading" sections, and on talk pages, to cite the Webmineral Mineralogy Database website.

Parameters

The template takes the following positional or named parameters:

• |1= or |entry= – the entry on the Webmineral website to be cited. If this parameter is omitted, the template uses the name of the Wiktionary entry.
• |2= or |url= – if the default URL is not linking to the correct webpage, use this parameter to indicate the URL of the Webmineral webpage to be linked to.
• |3= or |accessdate= – The date on which the Webmineral website was accessed. Use either of these date formats: 1 January 2017 or January 1, 2017.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage quoted from the website.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
