{{template shortcuts|CodeFedReg|USCFR}}

===Usage===
This template cites the [[Code of Federal Regulations]] with automatic links.  It wikilinks the title and/or part if it exists on Wikipedia, and makes an external link to the U.S. government's [[GPO Access]] site for the subpart and section.

This template links to external sites. External links should not normally be used in the body of an article; see [[Wikipedia:External links]] for discussion of acceptable and unacceptable uses.
<nowiki>**</nowiki>Using spaces in the parameters (ie. title, part, section, etc) will break the external link generated by the template

;Normal citations &mdash; 13 C.F.R. 136.130g: rendered as {{CodeFedReg |1=13|2=136|3=130|a=g}}
<code><nowiki>{{CodeFedReg |13|136|130|g}} or {{CodeFedReg |1=13|2=136|3=130|a=g}}</nowiki></code>
* <code>1</code> = Title
* <code>2</code> = Part
* <code>3</code> = Section
* <code>a</code> = Clause (optional)

;Subpart citations &mdash; 24 C.F.R. 884C: rendered as {{CodeFedReg |1=24|2=884|subpart=C}}
<code><nowiki>{{CodeFedReg |24|884|subpart=C}} or {{CodeFedReg |1=24|2=884|subpart=C}}</nowiki></code>
* <code>1</code> = Title
* <code>2</code> = Part
* <code>subpart</code> = Subpart

;Strange prefixed/appendix section citations &mdash; 40 C.F.R. 58 App G: rendered as {{CodeFedReg |1=40|2=58|prefix=App|3=G}}   <!--Since anything past section is broken, I'm not completely sure how to specify appendix G-->
<code><nowiki>{{CodeFedReg |40|58|prefix=App|G}} or {{CodeFedReg |1=40|2=58|prefix=App|3=G}}</nowiki></code>
* <code>1</code> = Title
* <code>2</code> = Part
* <code>prefix=Examp</code> = Prefix abbreviation (as used on GPO Access citations; often <code>prefix=App</code> for Appendix)
* <code>3</code> = Section (optional; sometimes a letter for some prefixes)
* <code>a</code> = Clause (optional)

;Optional combined subpart/section citations &mdash; 23 C.F.R. 710 Subpart D &sect;403e: rendered as {{CodeFedReg |1=23|2=710|subpart=D|3=403|a=e}}
<code><nowiki>{{CodeFedReg |23|710|subpart=D|403|d}} or {{CodeFedReg |1=23|2=710|subpart=D|3=403|a=e}}</nowiki></code>
* <code>1</code> = Title
* <code>2</code> = Part
* <code>subpart</code> = Subpart
* <code>3</code> = Section (optional)
* <code>a</code> = Clause (optional)
If both subpart and section are given, both are displayed, but the link is to the section, since it is more specific.

;Optional parameters:
* <code>year=2000</code> = year to use instead of current; GPO Access has copies of regulations several years back
* <code>accessdate={{Today (mdy)}}</code> = adds "accessed on" language for citations

<code>prefix</code>, <code>subpart</code>, <code>year</code>, and <code>accessdate</code> are new as of October 22, 2010.
