NB. If you cite a page, you are not citing the comments on that page. The role of comments are to refine material and provide new information which may progress material towards updating the final document. Views expressed by individuals in comments do not reflect that of wiki community.


Library suggests the following inclusions:

  
Author

Cite specific individuals as authors only if they are clearly the original authors of a page. A page with ambiguous authorship may be cited as anonymous or as from the collective community known as "Wiki".

Title

The title of the page should be included in a citation. 

Publisher

Organisation or group publishing the wiki.

Date published

Use the "Last Edited" date of the page at the time of citation as publication date. 

Date accessedThe date you accessed the wiki page to reference the information on it.
URL

Include the full URL in brackets if accessible; If not an open wiki , instead write ‘Web’.

Example

[Wiki] Anonymous. Extreme Programming Roadmap. Portland Pattern Repository. June 3, 1999. 3 June 2012. <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ExtremeProgrammingRoadmap>.

 

Similarly this is how the University of Tasmania recommends that wikis should be cited:

In-Text:              (Robotics wiki 2010) or Robotics wiki (2010) defines ...

References:       Robotics wiki 2010, 'Current research topics', wiki article, 19 October, viewed 27 January 2011,
                            <http://robotics.caltech.edu/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>.

Note: Year of publication is the date the page was created, or last modified.

 

http://www.scarmarbin.be/scarramsabout.php provides an example of how different parts of the web can be cited.

Here is website that generates reference format auto-magically....maybe use for making a plug in for our wiki ??? http://www.harvardgenerator.com/references/website

 

Prometheus wiki has an automatic generator of reference styles depending on the system used.
