Template:Cite VHD

50px Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

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

{{cite VHD
  | "database id"
  | "title"
  | hr = "Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number (optional)"
  | ho = "Heritage Overlay number (optional)"
  | ho2 = "Second Heritage Overlay number (optional)"
  | hi = "Heritage Inventory number (optional)"
  | access-date = 2026-07-25
 }}

There is no error checking. Specifying an incorrect ID will result in a link to a non-existing record.

Mandatory Parameters

There are two mandatory unnamed parameters

1. Place ID number. It is found at the end of the URL.
2. A title. If empty it defaults to BASEPAGENAME.

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.

The optional parameters are:

• The Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number can be specified using the optional hr field (omit the "H", using only the number; the template will add the "H" for you)

• A second Heritage Overlay number can be specified using the optional ho2 field
