Template:Cite ssl
Usage[edit]
This template creates a {{cite web}} citation to individual pages at SeaSide Lights, a useful reference site on the Lighthouses of Australia.

- the postal abbreviation of the state name, e.g. TAS or NT, capitalized
- the lighthouse name abbreviation used in the url
- title
For example, the Cumberland Light page url is http://www.seasidelights.com.au/au/tas/cumberland.asp?fState=Tas. The parameters are
TAScumberlandCumberland Light
The full citation is
{{cite ssl|TAS|cumberland|Cumberland Light}} resulting in:
Searle, Garry. "Cumberland Light". Lighthouses of Tasmania. SeaSide Lights.
- In addition, access date can be specified using the access-date fields.
- Error checking is done only on the state, thus using
{{cite ssl|NC|hatteras|Cape Hatteras Light}}will result in an error:
Searle, Garry. "Cape Hatteras Light". Lighthouses of Error: invalid index page when using {{cite ssl}}. SeaSide Lights.
However, using a non-existing page results in a link to a non-existing page, thus using {{cite ssl|NT|capedon|Cape Don}} results in:
Searle, Garry. "Cape Don". Lighthouses of Northern Territory. SeaSide Lights.
