=====<b>Alternative Abu Dawud referencing systems can also be used</b>=====
=====Abu Dawud Alternative=====
You can cite a Sunan Abu Dawud hadith using the reference system found in the translation of the entire Abu Dawud collection by Ahmad Hasan (this translation is used by USC-MSA and other popular sites). You can do this by adding an additional parameter with the value "hasan".

===Cite Web===
The [[Template:Cite web|Cite Web]] template deals with the actual references i.e. the content that goes between the ref tags. Its use ensures that the formatting for references remains consistent throughout the site and also enables easy system-wide changes.
When citing references in articles, it is important not to leave naked URLs. What is being referenced should be easily identifiable without having to leave the page through an external link. For example, this link:
::<code>http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888</code>
When applied to the Cite Web template:
::<code><nowiki>{{cite web|url= http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888|title= Productivity suffers during holy month|publisher= The Jordan Times|author= Mohammad Ghazal|date= September 10, 2009|archiveurl= http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888&date=2011-04-04|deadurl=no}}</nowiki></code>
Should produce this:
::{{cite web|url= http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888|title= Productivity suffers during holy month|publisher= The Jordan Times|author= Mohammad Ghazal|date= September 10, 2009|archiveurl= http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.jordantimes.com/?news=19888&date=2011-04-04|deadurl=no}}
====Minimal Parameters====
<pre>
{{cite web| url= | title= | author= | publisher= | date= | archiveurl= | deadurl=no/yes}}
</pre>
*url= URL of an online location where the text of the publication can be found.
*title= Title of web page. Displays in quotes.
*author= Name of author or authors if available.
*publisher= Organization or website's name. A website's URL should be used only when there is no proper name available. So, for example, Islam Q&A is located at islamqa.info, but Islam Q&A is the title that should be cited as the publisher.
*date= Full date of source being referenced in the month/day/year format (e.g. February 21, 2014). This is the date mentioned on the website (if any).
:*accessdate= Full date when URL was accessed (use if the sourced page does not indicate a date of publication).
*archiveurl= The URL of an archived copy of a web page, if or in case the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite.
*deadurl= When the URL is still live, but preemptively archived, then set |deadurl=no. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end.
====Additional Parameters====
<pre>| accessdate= | series= | isbn= | page= | pages= | quote= | language=
</pre>
*series= Additional information that cannot be included under author or publisher. For example journal number
*quote= Relevant text quoted from the source. Displays enclosed in quotes. When supplied, the citation terminator (a period by default) is suppressed, so the quote needs to include terminating punctuation.
*isbn= For citing books. The ISBN is a numeric commercial book identifier based upon the 9-digit SBN code. Most published books have them.
*page= Page number of the book/journal being cited.
*pages= Page numbers of the book/journal being cited. Used when the information is spread over more than 1 page (e.g. 223-224).
*language= Language of content being cited. Only needed for languages other than English

Most articles also include links to supplementary external web content (i.e. an "External Links" section). These sections should always be placed below the "See Also" section and above the "References" section. Links should be kept to a minimum (about two) and should be beneficial to the page in some way. They should not be provided just for the sake of providing them. They should include additional information that is not available or out of the scope of WikiIslam. External links should always be archived and can be cited using the [[Template:External link|External link]] template.

They should not be provided just for the sake of providing them. They should include additional information that is not available or out of the scope of WikiIslam. External links should always be archived and can be cited using the [[Template:External link|External link]] template.


===Archived Links===
Link rot is a frequently occurring phenomena where external website links become unavailable after some time.
The Cite Web template has two parameters dedicated to archived links. This is due to the many sources that are comprised of links to external websites, making the preservation of the  content of these external links very important. However, archiving links is very easy and only takes a moment.
====WebCitation.org====
WebCite archives:
*Regular web pages
*Forum threads
*Blogs
*PDF and other media files
But it does ''not'' archive Facebook pages.
To archive a page, enter the target URL and any email address as that of the citing author on the WebCite archive form (http://www.webcitation.org/archive), then press submit. Using the "transparent" WebCite URL is preferred over the short one.
====Archive.is====
Archive.is archives:
*Regular web pages
*Forum threads
*Blogs
*Facebook pages
But it does ''not'' archive PDF and other media files.
To archive a page, enter the target URL into the "submit url" box (http://archive.is/) and press submit. You will then see the new archived URL that can be used in the 'archiveurl' parameter for the Cite Web template.
====Embedded Links====
Embedded links to external websites should never be used as a form of inline citation. Nevertheless, they are used on occasion, for example, in the [[Fatwa: It is Permissible to Use the "Torah and the New Testament... for Anal Cleansing after Defecation"|Translations of Arabic/Islamic Media]] pages. In these rare instances, only a single link is appropriate, rather than both the original and the archive link side-by-side. For these, the [[Template:Reference archive|Reference archive]] template should be used.
To use this template, the target URL would have to be archived by entering it into the WebCite archive form (http://www.webcitation.org/archive).
Then the target URL in its original form, along with the date it was archived, need to be added to the Reference archive:
<code><nowiki>{{Reference archive|1=###|2=###}}</nowiki></code>
The first parameter is the original URL, and the second parameter is the date it was archived. The date format is year-month-day, all in numbers rather than words (e.g. 2014-02-26 rather than February 26, 2014).
If absolutely needed, embedded links to Wikipedia can be made by using the <code><nowiki>[[w:Target article|Text]]</nowiki></code> feature or <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><nowiki>wp|article name}}</nowiki></code>. As with embedded links to other sites, these links should never be used as a form of inline citation.
