Examples and usage

Suppose you want to add an external link to the SEP's article on Paul Feyerabend. The location of this entry at the SEP is at feyerabend, the title of the entry is "Paul Feyerabend", the author is John Preston and the last update is June 1, 2009.
The code:

{{Cite SEP|url-id=feyerabend|title=Paul Feyerabend|first=John|last=Preston|date=June 1, 2009}}

produces the citation:

Preston, John (June 1, 2009). "Paul Feyerabend". In Zalta, Edward N. (ed.). Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Note: The |url-id= parameter's value is case sensitive, so:

url-id=feyerabend Y
url-id=Feyerabend N

If none of the editor- parameters are specified, Edward N. Zalta is used as the default editor [1].

deprecated usage

using these deprecated parameters like so:

{{cite SEP|feyerabend|Paul Feyerabend|John Preston|June 1, 2009}}

produces the link

John Preston (June 1, 2009). "Paul Feyerabend". In Zalta, Edward N. (ed.). Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
