Jump to navigation Jump to search

This template creates a {{Cite web}} citation to individual records at the Australian Heritage Database, a useful searchable reference source on Australia's heritage places.

Parameters

[edit source]
  • There are two unnamed parameters
  1. Place ID number. This is the only mandatory parameter. It can be found at the end of the URL
  2. An optional title

For example, the Emery Point Lighthouse record can be referenced using

{{Cite AHD |16274 |Emery Point Lighthouse}}

resulting in:

Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).

Or, if one prefers not to mention the title:

{{Cite AHD|16274}}

results in:

Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).

  • The date of registration can be specified using the date field.
  • In addition, the access date can be specified using the access-date fields.
  • Error checking is not done at all. Specifying an incorrect ID will result in a link to a non-existing record.

More examples

[edit source]
  • Use of date and access-date fields:

{{Cite AHD |105914 |Sydney Opera House |date=28 July 2007 |access-date=2010-09-16}}

result:

Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).

Harvard style referencing

[edit source]

This template provides a simple Harvard style reference, using AHD followed by the ID number. For example, to reference the Emery Point Lighthouse use {{sfn|AHD16274}} or {{harvnb|AHD16274}}, as appropriate. However, year referencing is not supported at this time.
