To cite a Wikipedia article properly, you’ll need to find and include the information below: The title of the article The name of the website (Wikipedia) The name of the publisher (Wikimedia Foundation) The date the article was published or last updated The date that you accessed/read the article The URL Harvard (Cite Them Right 10th edition)

A wiki is a non-traditional medium, and as such doesn't conform well to the usual book-citation formats. Wiki is not paper, so you will need to use an electronic-citation format instead. The exact format will depend upon the citation guide that you are following, but here are a few general principles to consider:

If you’re certain you’re allowed to cite Wikipedia, the citation usually includes: Title of the article “Wikipedia” and/or “Wikimedia Foundation” Date the article was last updated URL The specific format differs depending on what citation style you’re following: APA, MLA, and Chicago style are three of the most commonly used.

A Wikipedia citation in APA format includes the Wikipedia page title, version date, website, and URL specific to the entry version you’re referencing.

If you’re allowed to use Wikipedia as a source, there are citation format nuances to be aware of. The MLA format for citing Wikipedia includes the following elements: the title of the entry (same as on-page headline), container name, publisher, last updated date, and permalink.
