Template:quote-hansard

1875 May 4, Mitchell Henry, “Parliament—Publication of Debates and Exclusion of Strangers.—Resolution.”, in Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates, (House of Commons), volume CCXXIV (Third Series), 3rd volume of the session, London: Published by Cornelius Buck, at the office for “Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates,” , →OCLC, columns 68–70:

Now, Hansard's Debates originated in the year 1803, and through the enterprize of a son of the late Mr. Luke Hansard, who had been so long connected with the printing of the House, these Debates had supplied the Parliament with a very accurate record of its proceedings. They were cited continually in the House, and so great was their reputation that even in Prussia they had a Preussiches Hansard; there was also a Hansard's Debates both in Canada and Australia. […] Suppose, then, that these Debates came to an end to-morrow; […] the newspapers would not supply them with the materials which were now contained in Hansard. It was impossible that the newspapers could report the proceedings of the House at sufficient length.

Over the past month we have seen the charity tax shambles, the churches tax shambles, the caravan tax shambles and the pasty tax shambles, so we are all keen to hear the Prime Minister’s view on why he thinks, four weeks on from the Budget, even people within Downing Street are calling it an omnishambles Budget.

Parameters

All parameters are optional, and may contain inline interwiki or external links as needed.

Parameter	Remarks
`1`	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) of the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If the language is other than English, the template will indicate this fact by displaying "(in )" (for one language), or "(in and )" (for two languages), or "(in , ... and )" (for three or more languages). The entry page will also be added to a category in the form "Category: terms with quotations" for the first listed language (unless `termlang` is specified, in which case that language is used for the category, or `nocat` is specified, in which case the page will not be added to any category). The first listed language also determines the font to use and the appropriate transliteration to display, if the text is in a non-Latin script. Use `\|worklang=` to specify the language(s) that the overall report is written in: see below.
`speaker` or `author` or `last` and `first`	The name of the legislator quoted. Use `speaker`, `author`, or `last` and `first` (for the first name, and middle names or initials), not all of them. Additional authors can be added using the parameters `author2` to `author5`, or `last2` and `first2` to `last5` and `first5`.
`authorlink`	The name of an English Wikipedia article about the legislator, which will be linked to the name(s) specified using `author`. Additional articles can be linked to other authors' names using the parameters `authorlink2` to `authorlink5`. Do not add the prefix ":en:" or "w:". Alternatively, link each person's name directly, like this: "author=]" or "author={{w\|David Cameron}}".
`editor` or `editors`	The name(s) of the editor(s) of the legislative debate reports. Separate multiple names with semicolons.
`quotee`	The name of the person being quoted, if the whole quoted text is a quotation of someone other than the legislator.
`debate` or `title`	The title of the legislative debate.
`url`	The URL or web address of an external website containing the full text of the legislative debate. Do not link to any website that has content in breach of copyright.
`archiveurl` and `archivedate` or `accessdate`	Use `archiveurl` and `archivedate` (which must be used together) to indicate the URL or web address of a webpage on a website such as the Internet Archive or Perma.cc at which the webpage has been archived, and the date on which the webpage was archived. Alternatively, if the webpage cannot be archived, use `accessdate` to indicate when its URL was accessed. (If the webpage has been archived, it is unnecessary to use this parameter.)
`report`	The name of the legislative debate reports. If this is not stated, "parliamentary debates" is used as a default.
`house`	The name of the legislative body in which the debates took place.
`location` or `city`	The location where the legislative debate reports were published. If more than one location is stated, separate the locations with semicolons, like this: "London; New York, N.Y.".
`publisher`	The name of one or more publishers of the legislative debate reports. If more than one publisher is stated, separate the names with semicolons.
`date` or `year` (and `month`)	Mandatory: the date, or year (and month), of the legislative debate. Use either `date`, or `year` (and `month`), not both.
`volume`	The volume number of the legislative debate reports.
`issue`	The issue number of the legislative debate reports.
`page` or `pages`	The page number or range of page numbers of the legislative debate reports. Use `page` to indicate a single page, and `pages` to indicate a range of pages. For example, "pages=1–2" will display "pages 1–2". Use an en dash to separate the page numbers in the range.
`pageurl`	The URL or web address of the webpage containing the page(s) of the legislative debate reports referred to. The page number(s) will be linked to this webpage.
`column` or `columns`	The column number or range of column numbers of the legislative debate reports. Use `column` to indicate a single column, and `columns` to indicate a range of columns. For example, "columns=300–301" will display "columns 300–301". Use an en dash to separate the column numbers in the range.
`columnurl`	The URL or web address of the webpage containing the column(s) of the legislative debate reports referred to. The column number will be linked to this webpage.
`isbn`, `issn`, `lccn`, `oclc`, and/or `id`	The International Standard Book Number (ISBN), International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN), or Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) number (which can be looked up at the WorldCat website) of the legislative debate reports. Use `id` for an identifier other than the ones listed above.
`text` or `passage`	The portion of the legislative debate being quoted. Highlight the term defined in bold in the quoted text like this: "'''politics'''".
`worklang`	A comma-separated list of language codes indicating the language(s) that the overall report is written in, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages.
`termlang`	A language code indicating the language of the term being illustrated, if different from the quoted text; for a list of the codes, see Wiktionary:List of languages. If specified, this language is the one used when adding the page to a category of the form "Category: terms with quotations"; otherwise, the first listed language specified using `1` is used. Only specify this parameter if the language of the quotation is different from the term's language, e.g. a Middle English quotation used to illustrate a modern English term or an English definition of a Vietnamese term in a Vietnamese-English dictionary.
`nocat`	Use `nocat=y` or `nocat=1` or `nocat=on` to suppress adding the page to a category of the form "Category: terms with quotations". This should not normally be done.
`brackets`	Use "`brackets=on`" to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
`t` or `translation`	If the quoted text is not in English, this parameter can be used to provide an English translation of it.
`lit`	If the quoted text is not in English and the translation supplied using `t` or `translation` is idiomatic, this parameter can be used to provide a literal English translation.
`footer`	This parameter can be used to specify arbitrary text to insert in a separate line at the bottom, to specify a comment, footnote, etc.
`tr` or `transliteration`	If the quoted text uses a different writing system from the Latin alphabet (the usual alphabet used in English), this parameter can be used to provide a transliteration of it into the Latin alphabet. Note that many languages provide an automatic transliteration if this argument is not specified.
`subst`	Phonetic substitutions to be applied to handle irregular transliterations in certain languages with a non-Latin writing system and automatic transliteration (e.g. Russian and Yiddish). If specified, should be one or more substitution expressions separated by commas, where each substitution expression is of the form `FROM//TO` (`FROM/TO` is also accepted), where `FROM` specifies the source text in the source script (e.g. Cyrillic or Hebrew) and `TO` is the corresponding replacement text, also in the source script. The intent is to respell irregularly-pronounced words phonetically prior to transliteration, so that the transliteration reflects the pronunciation rather than the spelling. The substitutions are applied in order. Note that Lua patterns can be used in `FROM` and `TO` in lieu of literal text; see WT:LUA. See also `{{ux}}` for an example of using `subst` (the usage is identical to that template).
`indent`	Instead of using wikitext outside the quotation template to indent it (for example, "#* {{quote-hansard\|..."), you can use this parameter to specify the indent inside the template (for example, "{{quote-hansard\|indent=#*\|...")
