• OR:
  • year: Year of source being referenced. Required with some types of Template:Tld citations;Template:Sup otherwise use date.
  • year: is required when |ref=harv is used and when the value in date is in non-numeric format (i.e. not DMYYYY, MDYYYY, YYYYMD, etc.). For example: citations with |ref=harv and |date=Winter 2012 or |date=23–24 Sep 2012, etc. require |year=2012.
  • year: is required when a CITEREF disambiguator is needed and the CS1 template is: Template:T1 or Template:T1 or Template:T1 or Template:T1 or Template:T1 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 |date=1 December 2014a, then |year=2014a is required only for the above templates.
• orig-year: Original publication year; displays after the date or year. For clarity, please supply specifics. For example: Template:Para or Template:Para.
