This template is designed to be a meta-template, used to construct U.S. Government attribution message templates like {{tl|USGS}} and {{tl|Marine Corps}}. It could be used directly in an article.

==Parameters==
* agency (optional) – name of agency (or reference source) that produced material. This should not contain wikilinks.
* policy (optional) – URL of re-use policy of agency or reference source
* comment (optional) – free field that produces parenthesized comment at end
* article (optional) – the title of the reference
* any parameter accepted by {{tl|cite web}} (optional) – passed through to cite web
* source (optional) – instead of calling {{tl|cite web}}, provide template (with arguments) to use instead

==Usage==
