{{short description|Internal citation help page}} {{Wikipedia how to|WP:CS1|HELP:CS1}} {{Nutshell|This is an introductory how-to for Wikipedia's most frequently used citation style. It does not cover every option of every citation template. See individual templates' documentation (e.g. at [[Template:Cite journal]]) for details beyond this basic cheatsheet.}} {{notice|image=Gnome-applications-science.svg|This help page has {{subpages|testcases|Help:Citation Style 1}} demonstrating various uses.}} '''Citation Style 1''' ('''CS1''') is a collection of [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|reference citation]] [[Help:Template|templates]] that can be modified to create different styles for different referenced materials. Its purpose is to provide a set of default formats for references on Wikipedia. It includes a series of templates that in turn use [[Module:Citation/CS1]]. The use of CS1 or of templates is not compulsory; per [[WP:CITESTYLE]]: <blockquote>Wikipedia does not have a single [[style guide|house style]]. Editors may choose any option they want; one article need not match what is done in other articles or what is done in professional publications or recommended by academic [[style guide]]s. However, citations ''within a given article'' should follow a consistent style.</blockquote> [[WP:CITEVAR]] additionally states: {{quote|If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it; if you believe it is inappropriate for the needs of the article, seek consensus for a change on the talk page.}} CS1 uses (in addition to Wikipedia's own [[WP:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]) elements of ''[[The Chicago Manual of Style]]'' and the ''[[Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association]]'', with significant adaptations.
