O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "MacTutor", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
 | This template is a Citation Style 2 template based on ((Citation)). For centralised Citation Style 2 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 2. |
- ((MacTutor|id=Kepler|title=Johannes Kepler)) yields
- O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "Johannes Kepler", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
- title defaults to the name of the Wikipedia article, so ((MacTutor|id=Newton)) yields
- O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F., "MacTutor", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
- date date of the article. For example, ((MacTutor|id=Luke|title=Yudell Luke|date=October 1998)) yields
- O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (October 1998), "Yudell Luke", MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
- class can be used to indicate other non-biography pages in MacTutor, so ((MacTutor|class=HistTopics|id=Topology_in_mathematics|title=A history of Topology)) yields
- last, first,...,last4, first4 parameters can be used to indicate up to four authors different from the default ones, so ((MacTutor|first=Umberto|last=Lucia|id=Morera|title=Giacinto Morera|date= March 2006)) yields
- Lucia, Umberto (March 2006), "Giacinto Morera", in O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (eds.), MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
- class can also be used jointly with last and first to indicate other non-biography pages in MacTutor, so ((MacTutor|first=Umberto|last=Lucia|class=Extras|id=Morera_Publications|title=Publications of Giacinto Morera|date=March 2006)) yields
- Lucia, Umberto (March 2006), "Publications of Giacinto Morera", in O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (eds.), MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
- authorX-link can be used when author parameters lastX and firstX are given, in order to insert a link to the Wikipedia article on the specified author, so ((MacTutor|first=Vladimir G.|last=Maz'ya|author-link=Vladimir Maz'ya|first2=Tatyana O.|last2=Shaposhnikova|author2-link=Tatyana Shaposhnikova|first3=Daniele|last3=Tampieri|id=Mikhlin|title=Solomon Grigoryevich Mikhlin|date=March 2011)) yields
- Maz'ya, Vladimir G.; Shaposhnikova, Tatyana O.; Tampieri, Daniele (March 2011), "Solomon Grigoryevich Mikhlin", in O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. (eds.), MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, University of St Andrews
As of 4 July 2021, ((MacTutor)) is a template wrapper around ((Citation)), and thus any parameters of ((Citation)) may be used. In particular, |mode=cs1 may be used to have the citation render in Citation Style 1 rather than Citation Style 2, as in the following example:
- O'Connor, John J.; Robertson, Edmund F. "Johannes Kepler". MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive. University of St Andrews.
