Template:Cite NSW election/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This citation template produces formatted references to the Parliament of New South Wales's "NSW election result database", which contains information on all New South Wales elections in the period 1856-2007.

Usage

[edit]

Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn= have upper-case aliases like |ISBN=, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then purge the page.
