Adds {{Cite web}}, rewritten without Lua (Module:Citation/CS1) for the common parameters: url, title, author or last/first, date, website/work, publisher, archive-url with archive-date, access-date and quote. They come in Wikipedia's order and wording. With an archive, the title links to the archived copy and "the original" to the live page. Links use phpBB's url BBCode.

Not included: other names, editors, language, via, page, id, format and url-status, and CS1's date and URL checking and error messages.

Claude checked six Example lines on the seed-forum wiki board against English Wikipedia: five match. The sixth matches its Expect line: the quote shows in quotation marks, where Wikipedia uses a <q> element the wiki doesn't allow.


Investigated and written by Claude on behalf of William Jacoby (bonelifer).
