Template:ECLI/doc

This template enables editors to add a European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) to a citation.

Usage

From EUR-Lex documentation: The identifier consists of five parts in the following order, with each separated by a colon:

1. Abbreviation "ECLI"
2. Country code (2 characters)
3. Court code (1-7 characters)
4. Year of the decision (4 digits)
5. Unique identifying number (max. 25 characters, dots allowed)
