Usage

This template creates a {{cite web}} citation to Victorian Heritage Register sites on the Victorian Heritage Database, a searchable reference source on Victoria's heritage places.

Mandatory Parameters

There are two mandatory unnamed parameters

  1. Place ID number. It can be found at the end of the URL
  2. A title

Example

For example, the Former Convent of the Good Shepherd record can be referenced using

{{cite VHD|1|Former Convent of the Good Shepherd}}

resulting in:

"Former Convent of the Good Shepherd". Victorian Heritage Database. Heritage Victoria.

Optional Parameters

The optional parameters are:

  • The Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number can be specified using the optional hr field
  • A Heritage Overlay number, if any, can be specified using the optional ho field
  • In addition, the access date can be specified using the accessdate fields.

Error checking is not done at all. Specifying an incorrect ID will result in a link to a non-existing record.

Examples

{{cite VHD|1|Former Convent of the Good Shepherd|hr=0951}}

resulting in:

"Former Convent of the Good Shepherd, Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number H0951". Victorian Heritage Database. Heritage Victoria.


{{cite VHD|1|Former Convent of the Good Shepherd|hr=0951|ho=9}}

resulting in:

"Former Convent of the Good Shepherd, Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number H0951, Heritage Overlay HO9". Victorian Heritage Database. Heritage Victoria.

More examples

  • Use of accessdate fields:

{{cite VHD|99|London Tavern|accessdate=2011-03-27}}

result:

"London Tavern". Victorian Heritage Database. Heritage Victoria. Retrieved 2011-03-27.

Harvard style referencing

This template provides a simple Harvard style reference, using VHD followed by the ID number. For example, to reference the London Tavern use {{sfn|VHD99}} or {{harvnb|VHD99}}, as appropriate. However, year referencing is not supported at this time.
