<pre>{{PlainCiteNews|author=|url=|title=|newsdate=|notes=}}</pre>

This template exactly like [[Template:CiteNews]], with two exceptions. First, it is '''not''' a reference template in the sense that it does not create footnote-styled references. Instead, it creates the same text that {{t|CiteNews}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain news update is the source of the majority of an article, as having the same reference at the end of every sentence. Second, it does not have the "name" parameter, as this only applies to footnote-style references.

===url===
The full URL to the news post, including the <nowiki>https://</nowiki>. An archive of past news posts can be found [https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/archive?oldschool=1 here].

===newsdate===
