This template provides a quick, standard method of citing Racing Post's database of horse profiles for racehorse-related articles in Wikipedia.
It is a wrapper around the standard citation template {{cite web}}. As such it fills out some {{cite web}} parameters, but the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 are available. To change the appearance of the output to that of {{citation}} use the parameter |mode=cs2.
Usage
Two parameters are required; |horse-id= is the horse identifier (1–6 digits); |title= is also required: |access-date= is optional:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{cite Racing Post horse profile|horse-id=304543|title=Port Etienne stud record}}</syntaxhighlight>"Port Etienne stud record". Racing Post.
The syntax with all parameters is as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{cite Racing Post horse profile
|horse-id=304543 |title = Port Etienne stud record |access-date = 15 February 2012 }}</syntaxhighlight>"Port Etienne stud record". Racing Post. Retrieved 15 February 2012.
