In 2014, {{em|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 {{slink|Help:Citation Style 1#Pages}}; see also {{tl|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=https://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=https://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}} |}
