Citation templates

The original author used the "cite journal" template, but this was lost when the reference linking/numbering was improved. Using the templates is, of course, optional but IMO a good thing for the following reasons

They format the journal reference in a manner that has been agreed by consensus (bold, italic, layout).
The Wikipedia citation maker makes it easy to go from PMID to a full citation. However, I have noticed that it stumbled a bit on the characters in some foreign names.
The "cite web" template helps you to consider the important things when referencing a web article - the author and date are often forgotten. The access-date is also useful for determining if perhaps the reference needs checking. Web pages are much more dynamic and temporary than journal articles.

I know they can be bulky when inlined. My preference is to begin each parameter on a new line as it looks less cluttered. Colin°^Talk 08:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
