It also internally acts as if {{para|format|PDF}} had been specified, which displays " (PDF)" after the icon. (In this case, an explicit {{para|format|PDF}} parameter would be redundant, so it ''is not'' recommended to add it. Users may remove it. Citation bot, when invoked, will remove it. ([[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 13#Remove format=pdf and variants when URLs end in .pdf|ref]])) <div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll"> {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.indiapost.gov.in/MBE/DOP_PDFFiles/List_of_Psychotropic_Substances.pdf |title=List of psychotropic substances under international control |publisher=International Narcotics Control Board |access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.indiapost.gov.in/MBE/DOP_PDFFiles/List_of_Psychotropic_Substances.pdf |title=List of psychotropic substances under international control |publisher=International Narcotics Control Board |access-date={{date}}}} }} </div> If the link is to a PDF file that ''is not'' automatically recognizable by its extension, this template does not display the PDF icon. You may add the parameter {{para|format|PDF}}, which displays " (PDF)" after the link (but no PDF icon). <div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll"> {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.sample.com/somePDFdocument.000 |title=Some PDF Document |publisher=Sample Int'l |format=PDF |access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.sample.com/somePDFdocument.000 |title=Some PDF Document |publisher=Sample Int'l |format=PDF |access-date={{date}}}} }} </div> For links to files in other formats, no icon is displayed. For example, for an [[.odt]] file, you may add the parameter {{para|format|ODT}}, which displays " (ODT)" after the link. <div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll"> {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.sample.com/someODTdocument.odt |title=Some ODT Document |publisher=Sample Int'l |format=ODT |access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.sample.com/someODTdocument.odt |title=Some ODT Document |publisher=Sample Int'l |format=ODT |access-date={{date}}}} }} </div> ===Foreign language and translated title=== {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Honi soit qui mal y pense |last=Joliet |first=François |date=30 April 2005 |access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki> |language=fr |trans-title=Shame on those who think evil of it}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Honi soit qui mal y pense |last=Joliet |first=François |date=30 April 2005 |access-date={{date}} |language=fr |trans-title=Shame on those who think evil of it}} }} ===Using author-link=== {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=My Favorite Things, Part II |last=Doe |first=John |author-link=John Doe |publisher=Open Publishing |date=April 30, 2005 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date=</nowiki>{{date|{{date}}|mdy}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=My Favorite Things, Part II |last=Doe |first=John |author-link=John Doe |publisher=Open Publishing |date=April 30, 2005 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date={{date|{{date}}|mdy}}}} }} ===Multiple authors=== {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Our Favourite Things |last1=Doe |first1=John |last2=Smith |first2=Peter |last3=Smythe |first3=Jim |publisher=Open Publishing |date=30 April 2005 |website=Encyclopaedia of Things |access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Our Favourite Things |last1=Doe |first1=John |last2=Smith |first2=Peter |last3=Smythe |first3=Jim |publisher=Open Publishing |date=30 April 2005 |website=Encyclopaedia of Things |access-date={{date}}}} }} ===No author=== {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Index of Sharp Things |publisher=Open Publishing |date=2005-04-30 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date=</nowiki>{{date|{{date}}|iso}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Index of Sharp Things |publisher=Open Publishing |date=2005-04-30 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date={{date|{{date}}|iso}}}} }} ===No author, no publisher=== {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Index of Sharp Things |date=30 April 2005 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Index of Sharp Things |date=30 April 2005 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date={{date}}}} }} {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Index of Sharp Things |date=April 30, 2005 |access-date=</nowiki>{{date|{{date}}|mdy}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.example.org/ |title=Index of Sharp Things |date=April 30, 2005 |access-date={{date|{{date}}|mdy}}}} }} {{markup2| |m=<nowiki>{{cite web |url=https://www.incb.org/documents/Psychotropics/forms/greenlist/2024/2311984R.pdf |title=List of psychotropic substances under international control |date=December 2023 |access-date=</nowiki>{{date|{{date}}|iso}}<nowiki> |language=ru}}</nowiki> |r={{cite web |url=https://www.incb.org/documents/Psychotropics/forms/greenlist/2024/2311984R.pdf |title=List of psychotropic substances under international control |date=December 2023 |access-date={{date|{{date}}|iso}} |language=ru}} }} ===Using "archive-url" and "archive-date" (and optionally "url-status") for webpages that have been archived<span class="anchor" id="archive-url"></span>=== <div style="width:auto;
