    ===Choosing between {{tlf|Cite web}} and {{tlf|Cite news}}===
    {{anchor|Consistency}}
    Before 2014, editors had to decide whether to use {{tl|Cite web}} or {{tlf|Cite news}} based on their features. In 2014, however, {{em|most of}} the differences between the two templates were eliminated.
    As of {{diff|Module:Citation/CS1|732205428|723907342|29 July 2016}}, {{tlf|Cite web}} and {{tlf|Cite news}} have the following differences:
    *{{tlf|Cite news}} can be used for offline (paper) sources whereas {{tlf|Cite web}} generates a missing URL error when no URL is provided
    *{{tlf|Cite news}} accepts {{para|issue}} and {{para|volume}} parameters while {{tlf|Cite web}} does not (See {{section link|1=Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 10|2=&#x7C;volume=, &#x7C;issue=, &#x7C;page(s)= and cite magazine}}.)
    But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same:
    <!-- ATTENTION!
    The following example only serves to demonstrate parameter rending results.
    Whether you must include all these parameters in actual articles is not a concern here.
