Usage

Basic form using minimum parameters to link to the reference (when used as an inline reference, the <ref>...</ref> tags must be added separately):

• {{London Gazette |issue= |date= }} (For an entire issue)
• {{London Gazette |issue= |date= |page= }} (For a single page)

Using pages to refer to a range of pages in the link: {{London Gazette |issue= |date= |pages= }}

Using city to refer to a page in the Edinburgh or Belfast Gazette in the link: {{London Gazette |issue= |date= |page= |city= }}

Using supp to link to a page in a supplement to a Gazette {{London Gazette |issue= |date= |page= |supp=y }}

All parameters, delete those you don't need {{London Gazette |issue= |date= |page= |pages= |supp= |display-supp= |city= |nolink= |postscript= |mode= |title= |ref= |quote=}}

All parameters, vertical format:

{{London Gazette
 | issue =
 | date =
 | page =
 | pages =
 | supp =
 | display-supp =
 | nolink =
 | city =
 | title =
 | quote =
 | mode =
 | ref =
 | postscript =
}}

Required parameters

• issue: The issue number of the referenced Gazette (to find this from the date, consult WP:London Gazette Index)
• date: The publication date of the referenced issue of the Gazette (typically found under the title block on the first page and at the top of each succeeding page).

Transclusions which lack any of the required parameters are added to Category:Articles missing Template:London Gazette required parameter.

Optional parameters

For use where a single page is to be referenced:

page: The page of the referenced Gazette on which the citation is found (if a page range is required see pages below)—also use this option when citing a whole issue, for example for the Birthday Honours List.

For use where a range of pages is to be referenced:

pages: first and last pages of a page range separated with an en dash: 1–12; or, comma separated list of page numbers: 1, 12; or a mix of both: 1–3, 6, 8.

For a link to the Edinburgh, Belfast Gazette or Oxford Gazette:

city: Either |city=e for Edinburgh Gazette, |city=b for Belfast Gazette or |city=o for the Oxford Gazette as the first 23 issues of the London Gazette were titled. The city names may also be spelt out in full if you prefer, e.g. |city=Edinburgh

To display the name of the Gazette without a wikilink (e.g. if there are multiple uses of the template, allow the link on the first but disable the rest):

nolink: Set |nolink=y to display the name of the Gazette without a wikilink (e.g. if there are multiple uses of the template on the same page)

The punctuation used to separate elements in the rendered citation:

mode: see Help:Citation Style 1#Display options. Setting |mode=cs2 changes the style to ensure consistency with Citation style 2, as produced by {{Citation}}.

To remove the final period, or change it to any other character:

postscript: Using |postscript= see Help:Citation Style 1#Display options — now semi-redundant, consider using |mode=.

Others

title: see Help:Citation Style 1.

ref: set by default to CITEREFGazetteissue can be altered as described in Help:Citation Style 1#Anchors.

quote: see Help:Citation Style 1#Quote

title: defaults to "No. issue", but can be overwritten with any title (in which case "No. issue" displays elsewhere in the template). See also Help:Citation Style 1#Title

Specifying a supplement to a Gazette:

• supp: To correctly format the URL to link to a Gazette supplement, set this parameter to y, or the one or two digit number of the supplement—numbers 1 to 99 are supported. Usually this will be to an unnumbered or first supplement (|supp=1). There are exceptions. See display-supp and the table.
• display-supp: Sometimes issues and supplements at the London Gazette website aren't where they would be expected. Sometimes issues are located at a supplement URL and sometimes supplements are located at an issue URL. When this is the case, use |display-supp= with |supp= to direct the template to select the correct URL and render the correct display. See the table.

interaction between |supp= and |display-supp=

row	|display-supp=	|supp=	condition	displayed result	url	comment

Source of information for parameters

To find the information to put into the parameters:

1. Visit the Gazette website search page: The Gazette
2. Enter search terms into the search fields including a date range and a choice of Gazette edition(s)
3. When the list of matching Gazette issues is displayed, click on a link and the site will open a window with a PDF image of a page of the gazette. From the heading above the page image note:
   1. The issue number. This may be up to five digits and also appear in the URL after ".../issue/".
   2. The page number. This may be up to five digits and also appears as the last group of characters in the URL.
   3. The publication date
4. If the reference needs to refer to a range of pages, find the last relevant page and note the page number as before.
5. Check if the page is part of an issue or a supplement
   1. If from a standard gazette issue, the following will be included in the URL, ".../page/..." and no action is required.
   2. If the page is part of a supplement to an issue, the following will be included in the URL, ".../supplement/..." , the parameter |supp= must be added to the template. Any character may follow, as long as it is not left blank.
6. When referencing the Belfast or Edinburgh Gazettes, use |city=b or |city=e. When referencing the first 23 issues of the London Gazette (published as the Oxford Gazette) use |city=o. Setting |city=l explicitly refers to the London Gazette. Omitting, leaving the parameter blank, or specifying any other value but b, e, l, or o, will cause the template to default to the London Gazette.
7. Add each of these to the template
8. Add the Retrieval date
