Template talk:Cite constitution

parameter for amendment?

Can someone add a parameter for amendment? (As in, 12th Amendment to the Constitution of [Country X]?) Thank you. Infoman99 (talk) 00:28, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Infoman99: Done. Sorry for the delay, next time drop just drop me a note on my talk page! —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 18:07, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Parameter for url?

Could someone add a parameter for a URL so we can hyperlink to electronic copies of the cited constitution/specific part of it being cited?

@ROADKILL: I was going to request the same. Anyone here? Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:25, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point?

I don't understand the point of this template. If somebody is citing the Constitution, they are referring to the text of the constitution. A wikipedia article on the constitution is of no help! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Polity auto-wikilink toggle

Hello! I'm not sure how many people watchlist this page, but I would really appreciate it if anyone could add a parameter to toggle the "|polity" parameter, which as of now automatically wikilinks any value inputted. For context, I'm trying to cite the constitution of "the National FFA Organization", but a wikilink to the "Constitution of the National FFA Organization" not only does not exist and is not helpful, but likely never will. Being able to turn off this auto-linking if one desires would be very useful for this and other non-governmental constitutions. Cheers! Johnson524 06:23, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there is something else that fits the bill, you can create a redirect to it. See HELP:Redirect. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kautilya3: Thank you so much for the reply! I'm sorry I don't completely understand though, what exactly are you referring to in HELP:Redirect? Cheers! Johnson524 13:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I misunderstood what you wanted. Now, re-reading, I think an auto-wikilink toggle field that you are asking for is a good idea. That would address the point I raised above as well. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:43, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kautilya3: Do you have an idea on how to do that, or how to find someone who can do that? Also, I'm sorry that no one responded to your message above, I guess this cite template is pretty obscure, but if it addresses your comment as well then all the better 🙂 Cheers!

I think Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) is the place to go. I don't think this talk page is being watched by the technical people. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Parameter for orig-date?

Hi there! Although {{citation}} has a parameter for |orig-date=, it appears that {{cite constitution}} does not. Articles such as Constitution of Ohio, List of former national capitals, Human rights in Bahrain and Supreme Electoral Court (El Salvador) have red reference errors because there are more than one value in the |date= field. Articles that have been "fixed" to move the original date to a |orig-date= parameter, including Constitution of South Carolina and Shura Council (Yemen), do not generate an error but also do not display the original date. Should support for |orig-date= be added, or is there a better solution for these articles? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 02:13, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
