MLA8 Refer to Multiple Subpages with One Citation

+1
−0

Is there a way to refer to different subpages of a website in text while only citing its main directory in the works cited?

For example, the hypothetical webpage, www.example.com, has the following hierarchy:

  • www.example.com/
    • /sub1
    • /sub2
    • /sub3

Ordinarily, it would be cited in the works cited like this:

    Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
        http://www.example.com/main/sub1

    Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
        http://www.example.com/main/sub2

    Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
        http://www.example.com/main/sub3

However, would this be a legal works cited citation:

    Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
        http://www.example.com/main/

Following, would this be a legal in text citation for a subpage:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
    eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua (Doe /sub1).
