<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

This [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|template]] is used to cite conference paper sources in Wikipedia articles. A general discussion of the use of templates for adding citations to Wikipedia articles is available at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]].  

{{tl|Cite conference}} replaces the deprecated template "conference reference".

== Usage ==

None of the parameters should be capitalised, in order to avoid the article being tagged as having a broken citation. For example, use "url", "title", etc. - not "URL", "Title", etc. When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed.

Citations within a page should use consistent formats. However, there is no consensus about which format is best.

;Common form with author(s) in a single parameter: <code><nowiki>{{cite conference |url= |title= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |publisher= |booktitle= |pages= |location= |id= }}</nowiki></code>

;Common form with first and last: <code><nowiki>{{cite conference |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |authorlink1= |last2= |first2= |authorlink2= |date= |publisher= |booktitle= |pages= |location= |id= }}</nowiki></code>

;All parameters, horizontal layout: <code><nowiki>{{cite conference |url= |title= |first= |last= |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |month= |year= |conference= |conferenceurl= |editor= |others= |volume= |edition= |booktitle= |publisher= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |location= |pages= |format= |id= |isbn= |bibcode= |oclc= |doi= |accessdate= |quote= |ref= |separator= |postscript= |language= |page= |at= |trans_title= }}</nowiki></code>

;All parameters, vertical layout:

==== Required parameters ====

*'''title''': Title of article.  This title will appear as the citation itself, hyperlinked to the URL (if any)

==== Optional parameters ====

* '''url''': [[URL]] of the online article or proceedings.
** '''format''': Format of the page cited, ''e.g.'', PDF. Don't specify this for HTML, which is implied as the default.
*'''author''': Primary author
**'''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
**'''authorlink''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
**'''coauthors''': allows additional authors
* a date parameter:
** ''either'' '''date''': Full date of publication. Should not be wikilinked.
** ''or'' '''year''': Year of publication, and '''month''': Name of the month of publication. If you also have the day, use '''date''' instead. Should not be wikilinked.
*'''conference''': Title of the conference.
*'''conferenceurl''': Website for the conference.
*'''booktitle''': Title of the collected proceedings, ''e.g.'', "Proceedings of the ''conference organizer''"
*'''editor''': No text is added, so labels such as "(ed.)" have to be supplied by user.
*'''others''': Other contributors such as "illustrated by Smith" or "trans. Smith".
*'''volume''': If the proceedings are part of a series.
*'''edition''': Edition when the proceedings has more than one edition. ''eg:'' "2nd edition".
* '''publisher''': Publisher.  Designations such is "Ltd" or "Inc" should not be included.
** '''location''': Location of the publisher (not the location of the conference). Produces ''location: publisher'' (ignored if the publisher field is not used).
* a page parameter:
** ''either'' '''page''': Page number if a multi-page article and referencing a single page. "page=5" produces ''p. 5.''
** ''or'' '''pages''': Page numbers if a multi-page article and referencing more than one page. "pages=5–7" produces ''pp. 5–7''. This is for listing the pages relevant to the citation, not a total number of pages.
** ''or'' '''at''': When the page prefix is unwanted. "at=Table 5" produces ''Table 5''.
*'''language''': language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default).
**'''trans_title''': A translated title of the article, in case the original title is in a foreign language. Would normally be used in conjunction with the 'language' parameter.
* '''doi''': A [[digital object identifier]] for the document, such as ''<nowiki>10.1038/news070508-7</nowiki>''
**'''Doilabel''': If the doi contains some characters that must be [[Percent-encoding|escaped]], use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{tl|doi}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
* '''oclc''': [[Online Computer Library Center]] ID number, such as ''3185581''
* '''id''': Other identifier such as ''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:LCC|LCC]]|Z253.U69}}'' or ''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:ISSN|ISSN]]|1111-2220}}''
* archive parameters ''(if used, must be used both of them together)''
** '''archiveurl''': The URL of an [[Web archiving|archived]] copy of the page, if (or in case) the url becomes unavailable.  Typically used to refer to services like [[WebCite]] and [[Internet Archive|Archive.org]].
** '''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived. Should not be wikilinked.
*'''accessdate''': Full date when item was accessed. Should not be wikilinked.
*'''quote''': Relevant quote from online item.
*'''ref''': ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value {{para|ref|<var>ID</var>}} generates an anchor with the given <code><var>ID</var></code>; such a linkable reference can be made the target of [[Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations#Wikilinks to full references|wikilinks to full references]], especially useful in short citations like [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#Shortened footnotes|shortened notes]] and [[Wikipedia:Parenthetical referencing|parenthetical referencing]]. The special value {{para|ref|harv}} generates an anchor suitable for the {{tl|harv}} template; see ''[[Template:Citation/doc#Anchors for Harvard referencing templates|anchors for Harvard referencing templates]]''.
*'''separator''' / '''postscript''': The punctuation to use between fields / at the end of the citation
