Template talk:Cite BAILII

message: Recently, BAILII has put up a lot of Victorian House of Lords cases from Scotland, with URLs of the form http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKHL/1864/2_Paterson_1235.html  (Sutor v Pitt, an important case on domicile).  Can the template currently deal with these, or does it require modification? Tevildo (talk) 17:43, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The template will require modification. Are all the cases decided by the House of Lords? — SMUconlaw (talk) 21:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've not really looked at any of the Scottish municipal cases, but the template currently seems to allow enough flexibility in this area.  Paterson isn't the only reporter used - see, for example, the indexes for 1820, 1840, and  1850. Tevildo (talk) 19:22, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Actually, I've realized it doesn't matter because the court is indicated by "UKHL" in the URL. Let me look into updating the template when I'm less busy. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:34, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Victorian Scottish House of Lords cases (Paterson) 

message: Howdy - Canadian lawyer here, without much experience with BAILII.  I've used this template in the "External Links" section of John Edward Brownlee sex scandal, in an attempt to link to http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKPC/1940/1940_36.html.  However, the template seems to generate a link to http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKPC/1940/36.html instead; am I doing something wrong, or is this exposing some limitation in the template?  Any help appreciated. Steve Smith (talk) 01:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to add "|format=1". As the documentation states: 'type "format=1" if the URL is in the form "http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKPC/[year]/[year]_[num].html"'. — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:02, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template doesn't seem to work for 1940 UKPC case 

message: Entering "scotcase=CSIH" is somehow leading it to show a cite for CSOH.  Also, the BAILII URL produced does not contain the needed brackets, even when using "format=2".
Example at my sandbox. Thank you for your help.

thread_title:  wrong court name shown and wrong URL  

message: I'm trying to cite this case at Claim of Right Act 1689. Unfortunately the URL schema doesn't match any of the options available to me: it's "ScotCS/[year]/[year]_CSOH_[num].html" but the only ones I can get the template to generate are "ScotCS/[year]/[num].html" (with no format parameter or format=0), "ScotCS/[year]/CSOH_[num].html" (with format=1) and "ScotCS/[year]/[year]CSOH[num].html" (with format=2; note lack of underscores). I've done it ultimately by substing in my sandbox, condensing the template code and correcting the URL, but that's not ideal. Hairy Dude (talk) 14:13, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can't correctly cite CSOH prorogation decision 

message: The URL for Irish cases has come in two formats, neither of which work with this template:
Up to 2019: 
From 2020: .
I might play around in the sandboxes to see if I can use the format tag to work something out, though I'm still getting used to that level of coding, so if any of you have solutions, do see what can be done! Thanks, Iveagh Gardens (talk) 11:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template not working for Irish cases 

message: This citation:

should produce the neutral citation [2021] NIQB 64 but produces [2021] NIHC 64 (QB). See the BAILII page for the citation. —Tom Morris (talk) 20:19, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does not produce correct neutral citations for NI High Court cases 

message: Just wanted to note, I've added UK Employment tribunal support to the template , as well as accompanying information to the docs , as UKET cases use a different URL format than was supported through the template. The only part I'm not sure if is necessary is "format=5". I needed to add a format override, as the end part of the URL for the test case I used is in the format "[num]_[year].html", but I don't know if that applies for all UKET cases or not. Hopefully someone more versed in the template structure could assist with cleaning that up if it's not necessary? Thanks. Sideswipe9th (talk) 18:52, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  UK Employment Tribunal support 

message: Heaven v Pender cites Caledonian Railway Co v Warwick [1897] UKHL 54. The URL is https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKHL/1897/35SLR0054.html. I can't figure out how to make this template generate this URL, or another that works. Setting  or  with the appropriate  and  doesn't work.  seems to have no effect.

thread_title:  Scottish House of Lords case with undocumented URL scheme 

message: currently says regarding  values: "". Why is this? BAILII itself separates citation schemes by semicolon, eg. . It would be easier to copy and paste these alternate citations if I didn't have to replace the separator first. Furthermore, although I haven't seen it yet in BAILII, I suspect that more citation schemes use commas than semicolons in citing particular cases. I'd particularly welcome input if that supposition is correct. Daask (talk) 20:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
