Template:Cite BWU
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template for citing Bungie Weekly Updates.
Instructions
Basic use
To use this template, you need (at least) the ID and the date of the Weekly Update. To get teh ID, check the URL.
http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14994
The text cid=14994 specifies the update's ID; simply take the number, 14994. Then, grab the Weekly Update's date; the format MM/DD/YYYY with padded zeroes is preferred (for consistency).
From there, you would simply use this code: <ref>{{Cite BWU|14994|08/01/2008}}</ref>
And you get this.[1]
