Citation Style Vancouver (CSVAN) is a method of referencing Wikipedia articles using a series of templates based on the Vancouver system.
The use of CSVAN or of templates is not compulsory; per :
Citations within each Wikipedia article should follow a consistent style. Editors may choose any style they want. The English Wikipedia does not have a house style, so it need not match what is done in other articles.
Templates
CSVAN consists of two sets of templates:
-
for books
-
for articles in academic journals and similar periodicals
-
for articles in newspapers and similar news sources
-
for web pages, that is, sources published as part of web sites that are not books, journals, or news
