Parameters

Two parameters are required with each transclusion, but not always the same two. If params 1 and 2 are included, the others are optional. Alternatively, param |text= and param |url= may be used, in which case the first two are not needed. Basic parameter descriptions follow; param interactions are described in the Notes section.

• |1= – a shortcut token, indicating which portion ('base') of the Legifrance database applies; e.g. CP for the penal code, JORF for the Journal officiel, CC for the Civil Code, and so on. Required. See § TemplateData for list of possible values, and § Param notes for a description of them.
• |2= – article number in the given database; e.g, 121-3, 1137. Normally paired with the 'base' token.
• |3= – display text: visible text underlying the wikilink to the article at Légifrance. May be used with '1' and '2' as an override; or may be paired with |url=. Default: <base> 'art.' <number> (if they are both present). Alias: |text=.
• |url= – optional url of the Légifrance article to display. Omit this param when using '1' (base) and '2' (number), as the url value is calculated by the template as a function of base and number. However, if base and number are omitted, |url= may be paired with '3' (text) to create a link to a Legifrance page. This is especially useful for grouping several related articles, or for particular sections of the Legifrance database (mostly recent) for which the 'base' + 'number' values fail to provide an accurate link..

Param notes

Typically, you should use a pair of params: either |1= (the 'base' token) and |2= (the 'number'), or |text= and |url=. Param |3= (alias of |text=) is a 'swing' parameter, because it may be combined either with |1= and |2= as an additional, optional parameter, or with |url= using its alias name |text=.

The following explains how to choose the value of the |number= parameter: {{#section:Template:Legifrance/doc|param-number}}

The following explains how to choose the value of |1= (the 'base' token). {{#section-h:Template:Legifrance/doc|Legifrance databases and 'base' values}}

Alternatives to this template

To create a short citation to a Legifrance law or legal text, the recommended way is by using this {{Sfn Legifrance}} template. An alternative "brute force" method (not recommended) that creates a short citation without using this template is described below.

This example generates two short citations, each linking the "Legifrance" label to a full citation in the References section, but with the specific named laws named in the |loc= parameter in unlinked plain text:

Mens rea{{sfn|Legifrance|loc=CP 121-3}} and police custody.{{sfn|Legifrance|loc=CPP 62-2}}

This can be improved by linking the named law as well, using {{Sfn Legifrance}}. The following method is equivalent to using {{Sfn Legifrance}}, and works by embedding the {{Legifrance}} template in the value of the |loc= param:

Mens rea{{sfn|Legifrance|loc={{legifrance|base=CP|number=121-3}}} and police custody.{{sfn|Legifrance|loc={{legifrance|base=CPP|number=62-2}} }}

== Works cited ==

* {{cite web |author=République française |date=19 October 2022 |title=Légifrance Le service public de la diffusion du droit |publisher=Secrétariat général du gouvernement |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr |ref={{harvid|Legifrance}} }}

Note the use of the |ref= param in the {{cite web}} template whose {{harvid}} value matches param one of the {{sfn}}; this is required to establish linkage from the short footnote to the full citation, regardless whether {{legifrance}} is used or not. Establishing linkage using the |ref= param in the citation is a standard feature of short footnotes; see the description of handling the "no author name" case.
