Template:Cite MapQuest/doc

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used for referencing maps published by AOL, Inc. through their Mapquest service.

This template is based on {{Cite map}} so it falls into the Citation Style 1 (CS1) series of templates, although it can be set to emulate CS2 style.

Note that unlike paper maps, Mapquest offers dynamic sizing at variable scales. Major citation style guides omit a map scale in that situation so this template does not render any scale output.

Usage

[edit]

{{Mapquest|url= |title= |access-date=28 October 2024}}

Parameters

[edit]
  • url – the URL for the map in question
  • title – a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as "<title>" if "title" is used; otherwise, it will be the page name.
  • access-date – the full retrieval date.
  • link – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
  • mode – set to "cs2" to use Citation Style 2 output
  • ref – to use Harvard-style referencing.

Examples

[edit]

Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "Cite MapQuest", which is taken from the template's full page title "Template:Cite MapQuest/doc"):

  • {{Mapquest |url=http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |access-date=28 October 2024}}

generates this:

  • AOL (28 October 2024). "Cite MapQuest" (Map). Mapquest. AOL. Retrieved 28 October 2024.

Using the optional title parameter:

  • {{Mapquest |url= http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |title=Overview Map of M-1 |access-date=28 October 2024}}

generates this:
