Notes

This template is used to cite sources in Wikipedia, specifically, visual media sources. Please use Template:Cite episode to cite episodes of television and radio programs.

Usage

Copy one of these three blank versions to use. Note that all fields must be lowercase, and remember to use the "|" (pipe) character between each field. Please delete any unused fields to avoid clutter in the edit window.

{{cite video |people= |year= |date= |title= |url= |format= |medium= |publisher= |location= |accessdate=2024-11-21 |time= |quote= }}
Horizontal list (without current date)
{{cite video |people= |year= |date= |title= |url= |format= |medium= |publisher= |location= |accessdate= |accessmonth= |accessyear= |time= |quote= }}

{{cite video |people = |year = |date = |title = |url = |format = |medium = |publisher = |location = |accessdate = |accessmonth= |accessyear = |time = |quote = }}	year REQUIRED ** title title title   publisher   accessyear

*	The field listed below is a prerequisite for the field to the left. For example year is a prerequisite to date meaning date will NOT be displayed even if it has a value unless year also has a value.
