'''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' Most educators and professionals do not consider it appropriate to use [[tertiary source]]s such as encyclopedias as a sole source for any information—citing an encyclopedia as an important reference in footnotes or bibliographies may result in censure or a failing grade.   Wikipedia articles should be used for background information, as a reference for correct terminology and search terms, and as a starting point for further research.

As with any [[Wikipedia:Who writes Wikipedia|community-built]] reference, there is a possibility for error in Wikipedia's content—please check your facts against multiple sources and read our [[Wikipedia:General disclaimer|disclaimers]] for more information.

{{#tag:pre|
  @misc{ enwiki:{{REVISIONID}},
    author = "{{(}}{{SITENAME}} contributors{{)}}",
    title = "{{FULLPAGENAME}} --- {{(}}{{SITENAME}}{{)}}{,} {{MediaWiki:Sitesubtitle}}",

    note = "[Online; accessed <citation>{{#time:j-F-Y}}</citation>]"
  }
|style=white-space:pre-wrap}}

When using the [[LaTeX]] package <code>url</code> (<code>\usepackage{url}</code> somewhere in the preamble), which tends to give much more nicely formatted web addresses, the following may be preferred:
{{#tag:pre|
  @misc{ enwiki:{{REVISIONID}},
    author = "{{(}}{{SITENAME}} contributors{{)}}",
    title = "{{FULLPAGENAME}} --- {{(}}{{SITENAME}}{{)}}{,} {{MediaWiki:Sitesubtitle}}",
    year = "{{CURRENTYEAR}}",
    howpublished = "\url{{(}}{{canonicalurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|oldid={{REVISIONID}}}}{{)}}",
    note = "[Online; accessed <citation>{{#time:j-F-Y}}</citation>]"
  }
|style=white-space:pre-wrap}}
