Template:Cite VHD shipwreck/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This template creates a {{cite web}} citation to shipwrecks in the Victorian Heritage Database, a searchable reference source on Victoria's heritage places.

{{cite VHD shipwreck
  | "database id"
  | "name"
  | access-date = 2024-11-23
 }}

There is no error checking. Specifying an incorrect ID will result in a link to a non-existing record.
