Template:Cite mailing list/doc

This template is used to cite sources in Wikibooks. It is specifically for archived public mailing lists. It calls Cite web as a backend, but has uniform parameters which will hopefully lead to a standard way of citing mailing list records.

Usage

 * Common form for cases where only the message is available (with current date)
 *  


 * Full syntax (with current date)
 *  

Examples

 * Citing http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/debian-announce-1996/msg00021.html
 *   →


 * Omitting a required parameter
 *   →

Note: the archive parameters (archiveurl and archivedate) must be used together.
