===Choosing between {{tlf|Cite web}} and {{tlf|Cite news}}=== {{anchor|Consistency}} Before 2014, editors needed to decide whether to use {{tl|Cite web}} or {{tlf|Cite news}} based on their features. In 2014, however, ''most of'' the differences between the two templates were eliminated. As of {{diff|Module:Citation/CS1|732205428|723907342|29 July 2016}}, {{tlf|Cite web}} and {{tlf|Cite news}} have the following differences: *{{tlf|Cite news}} can be used for [[WP:OFFLINE|offline]] (paper) sources whereas {{tlf|Cite web}} generates a missing URL error when no URL is provided *{{tlf|Cite news}} accepts {{para|issue}} and {{para|volume}} parameters while {{tlf|Cite web}} does not (See {{section link|1=Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 10|2=|volume=, |issue=, |page(s)= and cite magazine}}.) But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same: <!-- ATTENTION! The following example only serves to demonstrate parameter rending results. Whether you must include all these parameters in actual articles is not a concern here. --> {| | '''Cite web''': || {{cite web |url=http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2011/07/microsoft-envisions-a-universal-os-but-it-might-not-be-called-windows/ |title=Microsoft envisions a universal OS, but it might not be called Windows |last=Silverman |first=Dwight |date=July 15, 2011 |work=Houston Chronicle |publisher=Hearst Corporation |access-date=May 26, 2015}} |- | '''Cite news''': || {{cite news |url=http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2011/07/microsoft-envisions-a-universal-os-but-it-might-not-be-called-windows/ |title=Microsoft envisions a universal OS, but it might not be called Windows |last=Silverman |first=Dwight |date=July 15, 2011 |work=Houston Chronicle|publisher=Hearst Corporation |access-date=May 26, 2015}} |}
