(Note: This applies to all versions of TMG)
Below are some suggested Source Types for TMG based on my interpretation of the models given in QuickSheet: Citing Online Historical Resources by Elizabeth Shown Mills. I believe that these faithfully reproduce citations that follow the principals given in the QuickSheet models. There could be other interpretations using different Source Elements and/or Source Element Groups which would be equally valid.
These Source Templates use the standard TMG Source Element Groups and the standard TMG Source Elements
except for five Custom Source Elements. Anyone using these Source Types should
add these five Source Elements to their project before using the Custom Source
Types containing any of these five Custom Source Elements. They (and the Source
Element Group to which each is assigned) are:

I have created an empty project called ONLINE containing a dummy person and the above Source Types. You may download the backup of ONLINE, and then File=>Restore the project. After you have restored it, you can then merge the ONLINE project with your own project (make a backup of your project first). This will place the Custom Source Types shown above in a data set in your project. You may then be merge that data set with your own data sets as desired. The backup here was created using TMG v6.12, so you must have that version (or later) to use it.
