Template:Cite OpenStreetMap

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used for referencing maps published by OpenStreetMap through their mapping service, and this template is based on {{cite map}} so it falls into the Citation Style 1 (CS1) series of templates, although it can be set to emulate CS2 style.

Note: OpenStreetMap is an open wiki that relies on the contributions of its editors for much of its cartography, even if some geographic data is based on other reliable sources. That means it is a self-published source and should not be used as a source in our articles.

Usage

{{OpenStreetMap maps |url= |title= |access-date=}}

Parameters

This template accepts the following parameters:

• url: the URL for the map in question
• access-date: the retrieval date
• title: a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as "<title>" if "title" is used; otherwise, it will be the page name.
• link: set to "no" to unllink the publisher and cartography information.
• mode: set to "cs2" to use Citation Style 2 output
