=====Access indicators for url-holding parameters=====
{{see also|WP:CONLINK}}
Online sources linked by {{para|url}}, {{para|article-url}}, {{para|chapter-url}}, {{para|contribution-url}}, {{para|entry-url}}, {{para|map-url}}, and {{para|section-url}} are presumed to be free-to-read. When they are not free-to-read, editors should mark those sources with the matching access-indicator parameter so that an appropriate icon is included in the rendered citation. Because the sources linked by these URL-holding parameters are presumed to be free-to-read, they are not marked as <code>free</code>.  If the registration/limited/subscription access to the source goes dead and is no longer available, then remove the access-indicator parameter and add {{para|archive-url}} and {{para|archive-date}} values if possible.

For example, this cites a web page that requires registration but not subscription:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{cite web |url=https://example.com/nifty_data.php |url-access=registration |date=2021-04-15 |title=Nifty example data}}</syntaxhighlight>

which renders as:

:{{cite web |url=https://example.com/nifty_data.php |url-access=registration |date=2021-04-15 |title=Nifty example data}}
