This template is a Citation Style 1 specific-source template based on {{Cite encyclopedia}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1.

Purpose

Click the link labeled "Author and Citation Info" or "How to cite this entry" and use the "last modified" date displayed after the list of archived versions. While this can be generated automatically from the edition, it is better to include it. Dates provided as "first published" and "substantive revision" should usually not be used, as minor revisions may have been published later. If the edition is provided and the date parameter is omitted, then a full publication date with month and day is shown. If you would prefer to display only a year, then also provide the year parameter manually and it will be shown instead.

21 March 2016
