Template:Cite MapQuest

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used for referencing maps published by AOL through their MapQuest service.

This template is based on {{Cite map}} so it falls into the Citation Style 1 (CS1) series of templates, although it can be set to emulate CS2 style.

Note that unlike paper maps, Mapquest offers dynamic sizing at variable scales. Major citation style guides omit a map scale in that situation so this template does not render any scale output.

Usage

{{Cite MapQuest|url= |title= |access-date=6 May 2026}}

Parameters

• url – the URL for the map in question
• title – a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as "<title>" if "title" is used; otherwise, it will be the page name.
• access-date – the full retrieval date.
• link – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
• mode – set to "cs2" to use Citation Style 2 output
• ref – to use Harvard-style referencing.

Examples

Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "Cite MapQuest", which is taken from the template's full page title "Template:Cite MapQuest"):

• {{Cite MapQuest |url=http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |access-date=6 May 2026}}

generates this:

Using the optional title parameter:

• {{Cite MapQuest |url= http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |title=Overview Map of M-1 |access-date=6 May 2026}}

generates this:
