Usage
This module may be placed directly on articles by replacing {{Cite web| with {{#invoke:Cite web|| (note the double pipe). This is likely to be unclear to other editors and should only be done to prevent pages exceeding the post-expand include size limit. It is also fine to use in templates that wrap {{Cite web}}.
For the module that actually implements {{Cite web}}, see Module:Citation/CS1.
