URLs or the website link listed as part of an entry in the reference list can be left 'live' i.e. as a hyperlink in blue with an underline. However, for aesthetic reasons, your tutor may request that the link has the blue colouring and/ or underlining removed. This can make the reference list easier to read. Please check with your tutor as to how they would like the URLs or links presented.
* For more than one author, follow the same author format as used for the book examples. The rest of the reference (date, title, website name and URL) will follow the format above. When the author and website name are the same e.g. World Health Organization, omit the website name to avoid repetition. Include the month and day in the date if known or available e.g. (2019, May 17) rather than (2019).

NOTE: If you can't find the author of a source, consider whether you should use a different source, as a source without an author may not be considered authoritative enough.
In New Zealand, many government departments and official organisations are known by both their English names and Māori names. After consulting with the APA style experts, they gave the following answer to which name should be used:
Our previous solution was to follow the style we observed on a number of New Zealand government websites, which was to include both names, separated by a dash. Specifically, I'd suggest using an en dash between the two names, because en dashes connect two items of equal weight, which seems appropriate here. Do not include spaces around the dash. So, for example, the Ministry for Children would be Oranga Tamariki–Ministry for Children (cf. the copyright at the bottom of the website: https://www.orangatamariki.govt.nz/). I'd follow the order of names as depicted in the source. For example, whereas the website of Oranga Tamariki–Ministry for Children puts the Māori name first, the website of Inland Revenue–Te Tari Taake puts the English name first (https://www.ird.govt.nz/).
