Template:Cite web
Formats a citation for a web source, for use inside <ref> tags alongside {{Reflist}}. A simplified, ParserFunctions-only equivalent of Wikipedia's Cite Web template — it doesn't use Scribunto/Lua modules, so it won't have every edge case Wikipedia's version handles, but covers the common fields used across The Vault's citations.
Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals, same as the other infoboxes, and the Cite extension for the surrounding <ref> tags to work at all.
Usage:
<ref>{{cite web
|title=This Is the Last Time I Will Write About Tyler Henry. Probably
|url=https://skepticalinquirer.org/exclusive/the-last-time-i-will-write-about-tyler-henry/
|website=Skeptical Inquirer
|date=8 December 2017
}}</ref>
