Usage

[edit]

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

Parameters

[edit]

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.
