Whenever one adds a piece of information to Wikipedia that's not particularly

<ref>author, [article_link "article_name"], ''publisher'', publication_date. Retrieved retrieved_date.</ref>

This template works out perfectly fine, but can only be used for so many situations, plus it doesn't involve a field to fill in

<ref>{{cite web|title= |last= |first= |url= |date= |website= |accessdate= |archiveurl= |archivedate= }}</ref>

The template fields should be pretty self-explanatory. Title for the source title, first and last for the author's name, date for source's release date, website being the source's site name, accessdate for the current date you access the page, and archiveurl and archivedate for the links and date of archive for the web pages saved on the Internet Archive.
Reference dates are a strange thing though. It is essential that follow the style of the overall page, to establish consistency. Three styles are commonly used, MMDDYY (January 1, 2018), DDMMYY, (1 January 2018), or simply plain numbers (2018-01-01). MMDDYY are normally used for pages discussing American subjects while other pages use DDMMYY.
This seems like a lot of work, filling each piece of info one by one. To simplify your work, do install ProveIt through your settings preferences. This program installs a graphical interface at the bottom left of your screen, which definitely makes it easier to insert the relevent information. Just paste an empty citation template into the text and put the info right in.

After referencing electronic music articles and discographies for over a year, I've gathered a list of sources which I trust is reliable and should be used in citations. Reference priorities are listed from top to bottom, the top being the first choice whereas the bottom being the last resort.
