Template talk:Cite AustLII

message: Hi,  thanks for updating the template. Could you also update the template documentation at "Template:Cite AustLII/doc" to reflect the changes you've made? Thank you! — SMUconlaw (talk) 13:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion  I have used the template for a while, but this is the first I have modified. I have updated "Template:Cite AustLII/doc" & picked up a couple of minor issues from my edits in the template which I have fixed. Let me know if I have missed anything.

replies: text:  wondering if you can help - I am trying to get the template to work like Template:Cite BAILII for the privy council where courtname=auto - ie if juris is blank "Privy Council (on appeal from Australia)" and if juris=Vic, "Privy Council (on appeal from Vic, Australia)", but if you look at the Template:Cite AustLII/testcases it is not quite right.

thread_title:  Updates to the template 

message: AustLII has moved to a new interface. One aspect of the change is that the url has changed - eg Blundell v Vardon used to be http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1907/75.html and now resolves to http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/cth/HCA/1907/75.html While the old address currently still works, do we need to change the template ?

replies: text: It would make sense to do that. Do all new URLs begin with http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/...? — SGconlaw (talk) 01:58, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't seem to be necessary at this stage - AustLII are still showing the permanent url at the bottom right which is what the template resolves to. Find bruce (talk) 20:21, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks kb.au Your work gives a way to search for pages using the template by doing an external link search for http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinosrch.cgi? which currently shows 50 results, most of which are on the page High Court of Australia.  I will begin the manual process of changing these.  Interestingly an external links search http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/high_ct/ shows 88 results, so I will manually change those to template citations.

replies: text: Thanks Find bruce, it's just another example of the benefits of having the citation in template format; even though the links were broken completely we've been able to create some sort of fallback. Updating all those links to templates though won't be a fun job. Good luck! Kb.au (talk) 00:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I've tried writing it manually but the square brackets cause a linking problem, and anyway I don't know how to cite it correctly. Any help would be much appreciated.

thread_title:  Need help citing a case 

message: At present there is no template to cite journals from Austlii in accordance with the Australian Legal Style. I have been using a hybrid citation eg  however these are being changed to cite journal which creates an awful mash.
I an thinking of modifying this template to add journals, unless people think that will be too confusing, in which case I will create a new template. Find bruce (talk) 03:04, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems to me that it's best to just use . I agree it will be rather confusing to use this template for articles; the LII citation templates are generally used for citing court cases. — SGconlaw (talk) 14:18, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately cite journal does not use Australian Legal Style, which is particularly problematic where the year is the journal issue.
