Module:Cite mailing list
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module should only be used on articles which are near the post-expand include size limit, in order to prevent them exceeding it. Unless there is a pressing technical need, use {{Cite mailing list}} like normal. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]This module may be placed directly on articles by replacing {{Cite mailing list| with {{#invoke:Cite mailing list|| (note the double pipe). This is likely to be unclear to other editors and should only be done to prevent pages exceeding the post-expand include size limit. It is also fine to use in templates that wrap {{Cite mailing list}}.
For the module that actually implements {{Cite mailing list}}, see Module:Citation/CS1.
TemplateData
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]TemplateData for Cite mailing list
This module is like {{Cite mailing list}} with two exceptions. It is only for use on pages with lots of citations (e.g. several hundred) where that is causing technical problems, and you must pass an empty first parameter. For all other usage information, see [[Template:Cite mailing list]].
