{{main|WikiIslam:Citing,_Linking,_and_Quoting|WikiIslam:Source_Editing}}For non Quran/hadith citations, always use the [[template:citation|"Citation" template]]. At present, several other templates for citations exist (such as [[template:cite web quotebox|"Cite Web Quotebox" template]], [[template:cite book|"Cite Book" template]], and [[template:cite|"Cite" template]]), however these templates should not be used. These other templates for citation exist for now only because site administrators are in the process of removing these templates, which will take some time since much of the older content on the site is formatted using the several other, older, and messier templates for citations. | |||
