Template:UKStatute/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When to use the template[edit]

This template should be used to link to the official text of part of a UK statute. Where the link is to the whole of a UK statute, the template Template:UK-LEG may be more appropriate.

How to use the template[edit]

There are three arguments:

  • ActiveTextDocID Number from the URL when viewing the statute, part or provision
  • Text of the hyperlink
  • Optional Version number. Use this only when showing how a statute stood at a particular time and not when you want a link to the statute for the time being.

Examples[edit]

Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, s. 8
