Template:Hansard/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]
{{Hansard|URL|Title (optional)|House (optional)|Access-date (optional)}}

This template is used for auto generating a citation when using Historic Hansard (UK Parliament) as a reference. It will determine the date from the url and generate a title from the url (both of which are stored in the url). Only part of the url needs to be entered into the parameter (from the year onwards).

Parameters

[edit]
  • |URL=address, mandatory, defines the url portion from the year onwards (can also be specified as first parameter without the url=)
  • |title=TITLE, optional, specifies a manual title (default title is taken from the url)
  • |house=NAME, optional, defines whether it relates to commons, lords or written (default commons)

See the primary Hansard citation template for additional parameters (note that the "date" parameter is auto-generated and cannot be overwritten).

Example

[edit]

If the url is https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1914/aug/07/royal-assent, only the part from "1914" should be entered. For example,

{{Hansard|url=1914/aug/07/royal-assent |access-date=1 January 2010}}

results in

"Royal Assent (1914)". Parliamentary Debates (Hansard). House of Commons. 7 August 1914. Retrieved 1 January 2010.
