Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Short title | short_title | The short title of the legislation, displayed at the top of the infobox. This will usually be the same as the article title.
| String | suggested |
Type | type | The type of legislation, for example if it is an Act or Statutory Instrument. Displays as a subheading at the top of the infobox. Valid values are:
| String | suggested |
Parliament | parliament | The name of the parliament which made the legislation. This will be linked. This parameter will also affect which coat of arms is displayed. Valid values:
| Page name | suggested |
Long title | long_title | The long title of the legislation. Some are extremely long and can clutter up the infobox. | String | optional |
Year | year | The (calendar) year of the legislation — along with "parliament", this parameter affects the coat of arms to be displayed. | Number | suggested |
Citation | citation | The chapter within the statute book where the legislation is to be found. Where this is before 1963, it must use the regnal year, not the calendar year; see [[Citation of United Kingdom legislation#Acts of Parliament]]. | String | optional |
Introduced by | introduced_by | Who first introduced the legislation into parliament? This should be a link (if an article exists) to the individual or otherwise the name of the individual who introduced the legislation. If this is not known link to a political party or leave blank. One could also mention whether it was a government-supported bill or a private member's bill. For Scottish, Welsh and NI Assembly Acts, devolved secondary legislation, some English Civil War era legislation and very old English legislation where the division between the Commons and Lords did not exist. For legislation passed by the UK parliament, where possible you should use either introduced_commons or introduced_lords. | Content | optional |
introduced_commons | introduced_commons | Who first introduced the legislation into the House of Commons? This should be a link (if an article exists) to the individual or otherwise the name of the individual who introduced the legislation in the Commons. If this is not known link to a political party or leave blank. One could also mention whether it was a government-supported bill or a private member's bill. | Content | suggested |
introduced_lords | introduced_lords | Who first introduced the legislation into the House of Lords? This should be a link (if an article exists) to the individual or otherwise the name of the individual who introduced the legislation in the Lords. If this is not known link to a political party or leave blank. One could also mention whether it was a government-supported bill or a private member's bill. | Content | suggested |
Territorial extent | territorial_extent | The part(s) of the United Kingdom to which the act extends. If this is self-evident or obvious by context, this can be left blank - e.g. you do not need to state that Acts of the Scottish Parliament extend to Scotland. | Page name | optional |
Date made | si_made_date | The date a Statutory Instrument was made. | Date | optional |
Date laid before Parliament | si_laid_date | The date a Statutory Instrument was laid before Parliament. | Date | optional |
Royal Assent | royal_assent | The date the legislation received Royal Assent. | Date | suggested |
Commencement | commencement | The date(s) at which the legislation was brought into force (but note that for acts with more than three or four commencement dates this is inappropriate to use) or a link to the section of the article which explains how the legislation commences. | Content | optional |
Expiry date | expiry_date | The date the legislation expired. Do not add until the legislation actually expired as there is still a possibility that legislation might be extended. Use repeal_date instead if the legislation does not explicitly state a date which it will stop being in force. | Content | optional |
Repeal date | repeal_date | The date the legislation was repealed or revoked (if it is a Statutory Instrument). This may be different from the day the legislation expired. Label shows "Revoked" if the legislation is a Statutory Instrument, otherwise it shows "Repealed" | Content | optional |

Repealed by or Revoked by (if type is a statutory instrument) | repealing_legislation | Links to legislation which revokes (if a Statutory Instrument) or repeals (otherwise) the legislation. | Content | optional |
Related legislation | related_legislation | Links to related legislation | Content | optional |
