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.

Parameters

  • 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. A title

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

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

resulting in:

"Emery Point Lighthouse (Place ID 16274)". Australian Heritage Database. Department of the Environment.

  • The VHR number can be specified using the optional hr field
  • A Heritage Overlay number, if any, can be specified using the optional ho field
  • The date of registration can be specified using the date 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.

More examples

  • Use of date and accessdate fields:

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

result:

"Sydney Opera House (Place ID 105914)". Australian Heritage Database. Department of the Environment. 28 July 2007. Retrieved 2010-09-16.

Harvard style referencing

This template provides a simple Harvard style reference, using VHD 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.
