{{tl|Wikicite}} creates an anchor, for use in a "References" section for books, journals, web references, etc. The anchor should be linked-to in the body of the article. <br />
<br />
The reference text may be formatted manually, and the template merely adds an anchor for linking from in-text citations. This template is also useful when using a citation template that does not support the {{para|ref}} parameter (for example, {{tl|ws}}).<br />
<br />
'''This template is only needed for ''handwritten'' citations, or citations using non-standard citation templates, that are linked to by a [[WP:CITESHORT|shortened footnote]] or a [[WP:Parenthetical references|parenthetical reference]]'''. If you don't mind using a citation template, it is more standard to use {{tl|sfn}} or {{tl|harv}} with a template such as {{tl|citation}}, {{tl|cite book}}, {{tl|cite web}}, etc.<br />
<br />
This template is ''not'' necessary if the citation uses a citation template (such as {{tl|cite book}}). Use the {{para|ref}} parameter of the citation template to create the anchor. This template is also ''not'' necessary if the article does not contain a [[WP:CITESHORT|shortened footnote]] or [[WP:Parenthetical references|parenthetical reference]] that creates a link (e.g. {{Harv|Atwood|2003}}). The anchor serves no purpose if nothing links to it.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Copy-'n'-paste.<br />
<nowiki>{{wikicite | id = | reference = }}</nowiki><br />
or, alternatively (but not equivalently{{snd}}see below)<br />
<nowiki>{{wikicite | ref = | reference = }}</nowiki><br />
<br />
The first parameter is an alias for {{para|reference}}. The {{para|id}} or {{para|ref}} parameters are alternative unique identifiers used for the reference link on the page, compatible with some other reference templates. If both {{para|id}} and {{para|ref}} are provided, {{para|id}} is ignored. There are two differences between these:<br />
* {{para|id}} automatically prefixes the link anchor with "Reference-", whereas {{para|ref}} does not<br />
* {{para|id}} encloses the link anchor in double quotes, so these must not be provided by the editor; but if using {{para|ref}}, the specified content for this parameter must be enclosed in quotes ''unless'' it consists entirely of letters, figures, hyphens and periods. If it contains ''any'' other character - such as a blank or underscore - it must be quoted. (e.g., a ref anchor of ''Von Autor-2006'' must be specified as {{para|ref|"Von Autor-2006"}})<br />
Thus, these two forms<br />
<nowiki>{{wikicite | id = Anchor 1 | reference = Reference text }}</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>{{wikicite | ref = "Reference-Anchor 1" | reference = Reference text }}</nowiki><br />
produce identical results.<br />
<br />
The {{para|reference}} parameter is the actual reference text. It may be plain text, formatted text, or one of the citation templates.<br />

The parameter <code>reference</code> can be assigned templates as well as text. So if there is a template that is used for citations that does not support the usual {{tl|Harvnb}} templates (see [[Help:CS1]] and [[Help:CS2]]) the template can be passed into this template via the <code>reference</code> parameter. There is a template called {{tlx|ws}} that "places a wikisource icon before text". For example:<br />
:<code><nowiki>{{ws|[[s:Wellingon's Waterloo dispatch to Lord Bathurst, 19 June 1815|''The Waterloo dispatch'']]}} by the [[Duke of Wellington]] (19 June 1815)</nowiki></code><br />
would look like:<br />
:{{ws|[[s:Wellingon's Waterloo dispatch to Lord Bathurst, 19 June 1815|''The Waterloo dispatch'']]}} by the [[Duke of Wellington]] (19 June 1815)<br />
<br />

}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
However this is only one of several ways this particular text could be cited (see [[#Alternatives| ยง Alternatives]] for more details):<br />
*{{tlx|ws}} can take a template as a parameter itself, and then the citation can be linked using the standard {{tl|harv}}-style footnotes:<br />
:*<code><nowiki>{{ws| {{citation |last=Wellington |first=Duke of |date=19 June 1815 |title=[[s:Wellingon's Waterloo dispatch to Lord Bathurst, 19 June 1815|''The Waterloo dispatch'']] }} }}</nowiki></code><br />
:*{{ws| {{citation |last=Wellington |first=Duke of |date=19 June 1815 |title=[[s:Wellingon's Waterloo dispatch to Lord Bathurst, 19 June 1815|''The Waterloo dispatch'']] }} }}<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
* Compatible with any reference style: editor has 100% control of the format through a technology called ''editing wikitext''<br />
<br />
Technical features:<br />
* Produces well-formed, accessible, semantically-correct HTML code<br />
* Compatible with many other templates' in-text citation links (any id which starts with "Reference-")<br />
* No conditionals<br />
* No CSS hacks<br />
<br />
== Alternatives ==<br />
Note that identical behavior can be achieved using the more standard {{tl|Harvnb}} (or {{tl|sfn}}) and {{tl|Citation}}<br />
<br />
In article body:<br />
<code><nowiki>{{Harv|Atwood|2003}}</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
In references section:<br />
<code><nowiki>* {{citation | last = Atwood | first = Margaret | year = 2003 | title = Oryx and Crake | location = Toronto | publisher = McClelland & Stewart | isbn = 978-0-7710-0868-9 }}</nowiki></code><br />
