ढाँचा:London Gazette

The template may also be used to provide references to pages in the online archives of the Edinburgh Gazette and Belfast Gazette at http://www.edinburgh-gazette.co.uk/ and http://www.belfast-gazette.co.uk/ respectively.

Required parameters
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]- 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
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]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.
Obsolete parameters
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]- 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
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]To find the information to put into the parameters:
- Visit the Gazette website search page at either:
- London: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/search
- Edinburgh: http://www.edinburgh-gazette.co.uk/search
- Belfast: http://www.belfast-gazette.co.uk/search
- Enter search terms into the search fields including a date range
- When the list of matching Gazettes is displayed, click on a link and the site will open a window with a PDF image of a page of the gazette:
- 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/".
- 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.
- Note the publication date from the top of the page image
- 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.
- Check if the page is part of an issue or a supplement
- If from a standard gazette issue, the following will be included in the URL, ".../pages/..." and no action is required.
- 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.
- Optionally, if the Belfast or Edinburgh gazettes are to be referenced, add the "city=" parameter. The London Gazette is the default option and will be used if this parameter is not used or if anything other than the "city=e","city=b" or "city=o" is entered. "city=l" may be used to explicitly refer to the London Gazette. The first 23 issues of the London Gazette published as the Oxford Gazette so "city=o" should only be used to produce a citation to the Oxford Gazette.
- Add each of these to the template
- Add the Retrieval date
