Required parameters[সম্পাদনা কৰক]

  • issue: The issue number of the referenced Gazette
  • startpage: The page of the referenced Gazette on which the citation is found (or the first page of a range)
  • date: The publication date of the referenced Gazette. This should be in the format day month year.

For a link in a supplement to a London Gazette:

  • supp: To correctly format the URL to link to a page in a Gazette supplement, set this parameter to any value (typically, supp=yes); otherwise omit it or leave it blank.

Optional parameters[সম্পাদনা কৰক]

For producing a date of retrieval:

accessdate: Full date when item was accessed. Should not be wikilinked.

For a link to the Edinburgh, Oxford Gazette or Belfast Gazette:

city: Either |city=e for Edinburgh Gazette, |city=b for Belfast Gazette or |city=o for the Oxford Gazette as the first 23 issues of the London Gazette were titled.

For use where a range of pages is to be referenced:

endpage: The last page in the range of pages.

To display the name of the Gazette without a wikilink (e.g. if there are multiple uses of the template, allow the link on the first but disable the rest):

nolink: Specify this parameter with any value.

The punctuation used to separate page numbers, dates and so on:

separator: Defaults to a period (.); if the parameter is present, but blank, no separator punctuation will be used; do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. Used in conjunction with the ps parameter it can provide consistency with Citation style 2, as produced by {{Citation}}.

To remove the final period, or change it to any other character:

ps: Using |ps= removes the final period; suppressing the default final period (full stop) ensures consistency with Citation style 2, as produced by {{Citation}}.

Obsolete parameters[সম্পাদনা কৰক]

  • notarchive: was formerly required to correctly format the URL to link to a page in a recent Gazette (in approximately the last ten years). Since a change to the url scheme in January 2009, this parameter is redundant but may be found in links created prior to the change.
  • linkeddate: was formerly used to produce a wikilinked date. Wikilinking dates is now deprecated and the function of this parameter has been disabled. Use |date= instead.

Source of information for parameters[সম্পাদনা কৰক]

To find the information to put into the parameters:

  1. Visit the appropriate Gazette website search page:
    London Gazette Search
    Edinburgh Gazette Search
    Belfast Gazette Search
  2. Enter search terms into the search fields including a date range
  3. When the list of matching Gazette issues is displayed, click on a link and the site will open a window with a PDF image of a page of the gazette:
    1. From the dark band above the page image note the issue number. This may be up to five digits and also appear in the URL after ".../issues/".
    2. From the top of the page image note the page number. This may be up to five digits and also appears as the last group of characters in the URL.
    3. Note the publication date from the top of the page image
  4. If the reference needs to refer to a range of pages, find the last relevant page and note that from the page image or URL as before.
  5. Check if the page is part of an issue or a supplement
    1. If from a standard gazette issue, the following will be included in the URL, ".../pages/..." and no action is required.
    2. If the page is part of a supplement to an issue, the following will be included in the URL, ".../supplements/..." , the parameter |supp= must be added to the template. Any character may follow, as long as it is not left blank.
  6. When referencing the Belfast or Edinburgh Gazettes, use |city=b or |city=e. When referencing the first 23 issues of the London Gazette (published as the Oxford Gazette) use |city=o. Setting |city=l explicitly refers to the London Gazette. Omitting, leaving the parameter blank, or specifying any other value but b, e, l, or o, will cause the template to default to the London Gazette.
  7. Add each of these to the template
  8. Add the Retrieval date
