قالب:Cite legislation UK/doc


Usage

A template to cite UK primary and secondary legislation, as provided by legislation.gov.uk. This is a straightforward wrapper of {{Citation}} (CS2 by default).

To do

  • Clean and sanitize. The doc was a nightmare to figure out.
  • Eventually move this to a proper CS1|2 module wrapper
  • ELI support
