Page guidelines
- If the article is about Wikipedia itself, please add it to Wikipedia:Press coverage, rather than here.
- If the citation is in a book, rather than a periodical, please add it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a book source.
- If the citation is in an academic publication, such as a peer-reviewed journals, please add it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as an academic source.
- Also, please check to make sure this is the first publication of the article—newspapers often reprint things other papers published days and even weeks before.
- Place a notice on the article's talk page about the press reference. See below for instructions.
- To link to this page from the talk pages of articles concerned, use {{tl|Online source}}.
- Use {{tl|Online source}} just once on a talk page. Multiple citations may be shown by the template, for example, see talk:Noynoying:

Formatting
If you add an article, please cite both the title and the source. Note that if you're listing an article from a traditional press wire service that ran in your local newspaper, it may not have the same title everywhere; be cautious about duplicates.
Please add your entry to the end of the page, using Template:Cite news. The template, with the most commonly used parameters, is:
{{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title= |url= |work= |publisher= |date= |accessdate= {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}}} - : "Relevant/representative quote here."
