When citing Wikipedia in-text, all you need is the article title. This is because Wikipedia is a collaborative website and there is no author or published date. The citation, which will be in parentheses, will have the title of the page or article in quotations. In place of the published date the common practice is to use n.d., which stands for no date.
To put an in-text citation for Wikipedia in APA, you would use the following format: ("Title of article," n.d.)
An example would be:
("World War II," n.d.)
If you want to direct your reader to a specific section of the Wikipedia article, you can include the paragraph number at the end of your citation. For example:
("World War II," n.d., para. 5)

N.d. is the abbreviation for the phrase no date and is used when there is no publication date for a source. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
