This template is used to cite cases, legislation and other materials listed in the World Legal Information Institute (WorldLII) database. You should look up the case you wish to cite on WorldLII, then refer to the URL of the web page on which the case appears to fill in the information required by the template.

Parameters

[edit]

All parameters are optional unless otherwise specified.

Parameter Description
Case name
litigants The names of the litigants separated with vorv. for versus (in other words, the case name), like this: "Jabar bin Kadermastan v. Public Prosecutor".
link The name of a Wikipedia article about the case, for example: "National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality and Another v Minister of Justice and Others". This will be linked to the names of the litigants specified using the |litigants= parameter.
WorldLII link: http://www.worldlii.org/[country]/cases/court/year/num.html
court
or
source
Mandatory: The neutral citation code used by WorldLII to identify the court that decided the case or series of law reports, as follows:

The template currently only handles cases decided by the above courts or reported by the above series of law reports. Please update the template if you wish to include additional courts, or leave a message on the talk page if you need help with this.

year Mandatory: the year of the decision.
num Mandatory: the case number.
Other information
pinpoint The page or paragraph number at which information or a quotation you are referring to appears, like this: "528", "p. 528" or "para. 25". When referring to a range of pages or paragraph numbers, separate the starting and ending numbers with an en dash like this: "528–530".
date The date that the case was decided. You may enter the date in any format accepted by the template {{date}}, such as "9 October 1998" or "1998-10-09". It will appear a day-month-year format.
parallelcite Parallel citations to the case. If there is more than one parallel citation, separate the citations with commas, like this: "E.2006/140, K.2008/185".
courtname The court that decided the case. The name of the court can be wikilinked, like this: "[[Constitutional Court of Turkey|Constitutional Court]]".

To have the template automatically indicate the court and jurisdiction of a case, type "courtname=auto".

juris The jurisdiction that decided the case, such as "Turkey". It is unnecessary to use this parameter if you are already using "courtname=auto".
