Choosing between {{Cite web}} and {{Cite news}}

Previously, editors had to decide whether to use {{Cite web}} or {{Cite news}} based on these templates' features. In 2014, however, most of the differences between the two templates were eliminated.

As of 29 July 2016, {{Cite web}} and {{Cite news}} have the following differences:

• {{Cite news}} can be used for offline (paper) sources whereas {{Cite web}} generates a missing URL error when no URL is provided
• {{Cite news}} accepts |issue= and |volume= parameters while {{Cite web}} does not (See Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 10 § |volume=, |issue=, |page(s)= and cite magazine.)

But given the same set of valid parameters, their output is exactly the same:
