This template is a shorthand measure of inserting {{cite web}} links to the Laws of the Game as published on the FIFA website.
In its simplest form: {{User:LukeSurl/LOTG}} produces a link to the full PDF of the laws:
"Laws of the Game 2014/2015" (PDF). FIFA.com. FIFA. Retrieved 25 May 2024.
Users can link to the web-based presentation of individual laws by specifying a number between 1 and 17 as an optional parameter. For example: {{User:LukeSurl/LOTG|12}} produces:
"Law 12 - Fouls and misconduct". FIFA.com. FIFA. Retrieved 25 May 2024.
An optional second parameter can be set to interp if the user wishes to reference the relevant Interpretation of the Laws of the Game. For example {{User:LukeSurl/LOTG|12|interp}} produces:
"Laws of the Game 2014/2015 > Interpretation of the Laws of the Game > Law 12" (PDF). FIFA.com. FIFA. Retrieved 25 May 2024.
The laws of the game are subject to change, and the links may break if FIFA re-arranges their site. If this occurs, the links embedded in the template code must be updated..
