Is this template working correctly?

Are the subtemplates of this template correctly sub-categorized? I'm trying to clean up Category:Citation templates, where a lot of these have been dropped. I'm moving them to Category:Law citation templates. I hope that's correct. Some of them are there already. Others are in Category:Citation templates. I mistakenly moved several to Category:Specific-source templates. I am fixing this.

And, more importantly, are the subtemplates operating correctly in all their uses? I checked a few examples, and they did not seem to be. This is out of my area, but I wondered if anybody is maintaining these. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 03:05, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As best I see, the template works as designed. The uses do not include several parameters that would give proper context, and the template probably needs expansion. I created a doc page for the template with my best guess on the parameters.

Subtemplates shouldn't be categorised at all, only templates. I've taken categories off all subs, not that it really matters much as they're scheduled for demolition soon somehow. --Unbuttered parsnip (talk) mytime= Mon 19:55, wikitime= 11:55, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cite California statute

I have created a new template which is upwards compatible with CalStats and Cite CAstat. Currently it continues to get statute title from Cite CAstat/title but this may change. --Unbuttered parsnip (talk) mytime= Tue 21:44, wikitime= 13:44, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With a little more tweaking, and a whole lot of hardcoding, it would be possible to link to the exact page in the PDF files (the #page= parameter works in most modern PDF viewers.) Just throwing that out there. Int21h (talk) 04:54, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trouble citing recent statutes?

See here. I used: {{Cite California statute | 2015 | 765 | section=1 | title=Public transit: prohibited conduct.}}; this makes:

California State Assembly. "Public transit: prohibited conduct". Session of the Legislature. Statutes of California. State of California. Ch. 765 § 1.

(The default title is "Session of the Legislature".) It links to the main search page, which only seems to have documents up through 2008 in any case. The law has been chaptered; see here. Is this a problem with the template, or am I using it wrong? Is there another template I should use for the bill itself? grendel|khan 18:22, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
