This is because we have no way of knowing who has written or posted them."

Accordingly, this template should never be included in the "References" section of an article.

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

Parameters are as follows:

  • title, the title of the post (required)
  • author of the post
  • date the post was made
  • numeric id of the post
  • newsgroup the post was made on
