* <span id="csdoc_year" />OR:
** '''year''': Year of source being referenced. Required with some types of {{tld|sfn}} citations;{{sup|[[Template:Sfn#More_than_one_work_in_a_year|[more]]]}} otherwise use '''date'''.
** '''year''': is required when <code>|ref=harv</code> is used ''and'' when the value in '''date''' is in non-numeric informat (i.e. not DMYYYY, MDYYYY, YYYYMD, etc. format). For example: citations with <code>|ref=harv</code> and <code>|date=Winter 2012</code> or <code>|date=23–24 Sep 2012</code>, etc. require <code>|year=2012</code>.
** '''year''': is required when a <code>CITEREF</code> disambiguator is needed ''and'' the CS1 template is: {{t1|cite episode}} or {{t1|cite mailing list}} or {{t1|cite map}} or {{t1|cite report}} or {{t1|cite serial}} only. These templates are those ''not'' marked with a green check mark in the table at the top of [[Help:CS1 errors]]. For example, if <code>|date=1 December 2014a</code>, then <code>|year=2014a</code> is required only for the above templates.
* <span id="csdoc_origyear" />'''orig-year''': Original publication year; displays after the date or year. For clarity, please supply specifics. For example: {{para|orig-year|First published 1859}} or {{para|orig-year|Composed 1904}}.{{#if:{{{began|}}}|
