===Choosing between [[Template:cite web]] and [[Template:cite news]]===
{{anchor|Consistency}}
Before 2014, editors had to decide whether to use {{tl|cite web}} or {{tl|cite news}} based on their features. In 2014, {{em|most of}} the differences between the two templates were eliminated.
As of {{diff|Module:Citation/CS1|732205428|723907342|29 July 2016}}, {{tlf|cite web}} and {{tlf|cite news}} have the following differences:
* {{tlf|cite news}} can be used for [[WP:OFFLINE|offline]] (paper) sources whereas {{tlf|cite web}} generates a missing URL error when no URL is provided
* {{tlf|cite news}} accepts {{para|issue}} and {{para|volume}} parameters while {{tlf|cite web}} does not (See {{slink|Help:Citation Style 1#Pages}}; see also {{tl|cite magazine}}).
But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same:
<!-- ATTENTION!
The following example only serves to demonstrate parameter rending results.
Whether you must include all these parameters in actual articles is not a concern here.
-->

===Using "format="===
When this template detects a link whose URL includes an [[filename extension|extension]] of ".pdf" or ".PDF", typical of [[PDF]] files, it automatically displays a PDF icon after the link (regardless of whether the link goes to a PDF file or to an HTML landing page, typical of paysites). It also internally acts as if {{para|format|PDF}} had been specified, which displays " (PDF)" after the icon. (In this case, an explicit {{para|format|PDF}} parameter would be redundant, so it ''is not'' recommended to add it. Users may remove it. Citation bot, when invoked, will remove it. ([[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 13#Remove format=pdf and variants when URLs end in .pdf|ref]]))
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
{{markup2|
|m=<nowiki>{{cite web
|url=http://www.indiapost.gov.in/Pdf/Customs/List_of_Psychotropic_Substances.pdf
|title=List of psychotropic substances under international control

|title=List of psychotropic substances under international control
|publisher=International Narcotics Control Board
|access-date={{date}}}}
}}
</div>
If the link is to a PDF file that ''is not'' automatically recognizable by its extension, this template does not display the PDF icon. You may add the parameter {{para|format|PDF}}, which displays " (PDF)" after the link.
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
{{markup2|

|url=http://www.sample.com/somePDFdocument.000
|title=Some PDF Document
|publisher=Sample Int'l
|format=PDF
|access-date={{date}}}}
}}
</div>
For links to files in other formats, no icon is displayed. For example, for an [[.odt]] file, you may add the parameter {{para|format|ODT}}, which displays " (ODT)" after the link.
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
{{markup2|

===Choosing between [[Template:cite web]] and [[Template:cite news]]===
{{anchor|Consistency}}
Before 2014, editors had to decide whether to use {{tl|cite web}} or {{tl|cite news}} based on their features. In 2014, {{em|most of}} the differences between the two templates were eliminated.
As of {{diff|Module:Citation/CS1|732205428|723907342|29 July 2016}}, {{tlf|cite web}} and {{tlf|cite news}} have the following differences:
* {{tlf|cite news}} can be used for [[WP:OFFLINE|offline]] (paper) sources whereas {{tlf|cite web}} generates a missing URL error when no URL is provided
* {{tlf|cite news}} accepts {{para|issue}} and {{para|volume}} parameters while {{tlf|cite web}} does not (See {{slink|Help:Citation Style 1#Pages}}; see also {{tl|cite magazine}}).
But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same:
<!-- ATTENTION!
The following example only serves to demonstrate parameter rending results.
Whether you must include all these parameters in actual articles is not a concern here.
-->

===Using "format="===
When this template detects a link whose URL includes an [[filename extension|extension]] of ".pdf" or ".PDF", typical of [[PDF]] files, it automatically displays a PDF icon after the link (regardless of whether the link goes to a PDF file or to an HTML landing page, typical of paysites). It also internally acts as if {{para|format|PDF}} had been specified, which displays " (PDF)" after the icon. (In this case, an explicit {{para|format|PDF}} parameter would be redundant, so it ''is not'' recommended to add it. Users may remove it. Citation bot, when invoked, will remove it. ([[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 13#Remove format=pdf and variants when URLs end in .pdf|ref]]))
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
{{markup2|
|m=<nowiki>{{cite web
|url=http://www.indiapost.gov.in/Pdf/Customs/List_of_Psychotropic_Substances.pdf

|access-date={{date}}}}
}}
</div>
If the link is to a PDF file that ''is not'' automatically recognizable by its extension, this template does not display the PDF icon. You may add the parameter {{para|format|PDF}}, which displays " (PDF)" after the link.
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">

|access-date={{date}}}}
}}
</div>
For links to files in other formats, no icon is displayed. For example, for an [[.odt]] file, you may add the parameter {{para|format|ODT}}, which displays " (ODT)" after the link.
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
