User:Samwb123/How to create proper citations out of bare URLs
Appearance
- Open the bare URL.
- In another tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the bare URL.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>
, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied, replacing the bare URL reference.
