}}</ref>

=== Example with URL and Access Date ===
<pre>

* '''Maintainability''': It simplifies the process of updating and maintaining citations.
* '''Machine Readability''': Structured citations are easier for bots and automated tools to process.

== Template Implementation ==

The template can be implemented using MediaWiki's template syntax. A simplified version of the template code might look like this:

<pre>

{{#if:{{{author|}}}{{{last|}}}|{{#if:{{{author|}}}|{{{author}}}|{{{last}}}, {{{first}}} }}{{#if:{{{coauthors|}}}|; {{#replace:{{{coauthors}}}| and |, }}}}|}}{{#if:{{{editor|}}}|{{#if:{{{author|}}}| (ed.)|{{#if:{{{last|}}}|(ed.)}}}}{{#if:{{{editorlink|}}}|{{!}}[[{{{editorlink}}}|{{{editor}}}]|{{{editor}}}}}}
{{#if:{{{title|}}}|{{{title}}}}}
{{#if:{{{edition|}}}|, {{{edition}}} ed.}}
{{#if:{{{series|}}}|, {{{series}}}}}
{{#if:{{{volume|}}}|, vol. {{{volume}}}}}
{{#if:{{{publisher|}}}|{{#if:{{{location|}}}|, {{{location}}}: }}{{{publisher}}}}}
{{#if:{{{date|}}}{{{year|}}}|{{#if:{{{date|}}}|, {{{date}}}|{{#if:{{{year|}}}|, {{{year}}}}}}}}
{{#if:{{{isbn|}}}|, ISBN {{{isbn}}}}}
{{#if:{{{oclc|}}}|, OCLC {{{oclc}}}}}
{{#if:{{{doi|}}}|, doi:{{{doi}}}}}
{{#if:{{{id|}}}|, {{{id}}}}}
{{#if:{{{pages|}}}{{{at|}}}|{{#if:{{{pages|}}}|, pp. {{{pages}}}|{{#if:{{{at|}}}|, at {{{at}}}}}}}}
{{#if:{{{url|}}}|{{#if:{{{accessdate|}}}|[<a href="{{{url}}}">Online</a>] (Accessed {{{accessdate}}})|[<a href="{{{url}}}">Online</a>]}}}
{{#if:{{{quote|}}}|&quot;{{{quote}}}&quot;}}

</pre>

This is a simplified version for illustrative purposes. A real implementation would be more complex to handle various edge cases and formatting requirements.
