Template talk:Cite hansard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Creating
I think it might be good to have a {{Cite hansard}} for citing, well, Hansard. Would take house, url, date, column - possibly generalise to legislatures whose reports aren't called Hansard. Hansard doesn't fit any of the existing templates well because it doesn't have page numbers, but column numbers. Morwen - Talk 10:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- I could help tinkering that template (in case you need a m:ParserFunctions nerd :). But I need more info. Could you give at least an initial sketch of what the straight case should look like? I propose to give a call example {{cite hansard | house=... | url=... | date=.... | column=... }} and give the corresponding expected output in POW (plain old wikitext). Are there optional params? --Ligulem 12:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Good point. [1] has a sketch. How about as a start
{{cite hansard | house=House of Commons | date = [[April 1]], [[1996]] | column = 1234 }} turning into
Parliamentary Debates, House of Commons, April 1 1996, column 1234
the url parameter would be optional and make the bit in italics a link? Also it might be good to support column ranges, i suppose optional column_start and column_end parameters instead? Morwen - Talk 12:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Done so far. What should the column_start and column_end produce? Just "column 23-34"? --Ligulem 13:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

- Done. If we are finished we can remove the testing remark. --Ligulem 13:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
