where
- date is the date on which the link or mention occurred, e.g. date=10 June 2024.
- url is the URL (including the http:// prefix) of the originating site, preferably link the particular page that links Wikipedia, i.e. is going to hit this article heavily, e.g. http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/17/183242.
- site is the simple description of the website, e.g. Slashdot.
Additional parameters:
- date2 through date20, title2 through title20, url2 through url20, and site2 through site20 - used if the page is mentioned on more than one high-traffic site. If you need to add more than 20, please update the template.
