Template talk:Cite Hansard

message: I think it might be good to have a  for citing, well, Hansard.  Would take house, url, date, column - possibly generalise to legislatures whose reports aren't called Hansard.  Hansard doesn't fit any of the existing templates well because it doesn't have page numbers, but column numbers.  Morwen - Talk 10:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I could help tinkering that template (in case you need a m:ParserFunctions nerd :). But I need more info. Could you give at least an initial sketch of what the straight case should look like? I propose to give a call example  and give the corresponding expected output in POW (plain old wikitext). Are there optional params? --Ligulem 12:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Done so far. What should the column_start and column_end produce? Just "column 23-34"? --Ligulem 13:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Other citation templates seem to include a full stop at the end of the reference. Can this be added to the Hansard template? Cordless Larry (talk) 18:54, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  Fixed: Turns out that it only worked when you used the speaker and/or position parameters. I've moved the period out of all of the  and it seems to have solved the problem. MitchellDuce (talk) 17:44, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Would it be possible to make this template compatible with harv usage?  I'd like to use the NSW Hansard in the Netball article.  The article has a bibliography and reference list.  It uses  and  and the author linkage doesn't appear to work. --LauraHale (talk) 23:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Because someone wrote this template which improperly includes an explicit 'and others' (et al) in

and because simply adding  did not fix the problem, I came here to see about a better solution.
One solution for a fix to this would have been to add this line to the template code:
:|display-authors=displayauthors|
Instead, I have rewritten the template sandbox to use Module:template wrapper which allows  to use all of the normally available  parameters.  Rewriting the above template to use the sandbox and :

It might be a bit more appropriate to create a  alias parameter:
:|display-authors=display-authors|displayauthors|
Opinions?

Could someone please tweak this template so the colon after the  is only displayed when  is also included?  Thanks!  GoingBatty (talk) 06:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I'm just an amateur author, trying to cite Hansard. I was directed to this template, but I feel I've fallen into a parallel universe of curly brackets and equal signs. How do I actually use the template - do I have to type all those symbols? CurlingWisps (talk) 06:06, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If you use the Visual Editor, you should be able to click the button to insert a template, tell it to insert this template, and you should get a set of boxes to fill in. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:18, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
