=== Parameters ===
=== Parameters ===
* '''optional:''' ''country'' add '''ie''' for Ireland if an Irish judgment, ''uk'' for general UK judgment (eg House of Lords) and so on. Can add '''ew''' for England and Wales, although it defaults to this latter option.  URLs are case sensitive so the country code is always converted into lower case by the template.
All parameters are optional unless otherwise specified.
* ''litigants'' is the list of litigants, such as '''Miranda v. Arizona'''.
* ''court'' is the code used by BAILII in the '''Neutral Citation Number''' to identify the court. eg EWCA for the [[Court of Appeal of England and Wales]]. URLs are case sensitive so the court code is always converted into upper case by the template.
* '''optional:''' ''division'' is the code used by BAILII in the '''Neutral Citation Number''' to identify the division. eg Civ for the Civil division. Not all cases cite a division - eg House of Lords decisions and some Irish decisions.
* ''year'' is the year of the decision, as indicated in the '''Neutral Citation Number'''.
* ''num'' is the judgment number, as indicated in the '''Neutral Citation Number'''.
* '''optional:''' ''para'' is a specific paragraph number.
* '''optional:''' ''date'' is the date in which the court rendered its decision. If included, the date is added at the end of the citation number. Do not link the date and preferably use a "1 January 2009" style.


**The output of the template is of the form: '''''Litigants''''' ['''year'''] '''court''' '''num''' ('''division'''), paragraph '''para'''
{| class=wikitable
::The names of the litigants is rendered as a link to the judgment on BAILII
