Usage
{{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
|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)|accessdate=DATE
, optional, defines the access-date (also works as "accessed" and "access-date")
Example
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}}
