| year | Mandatory: the year of the decision. |
| num | Mandatory: the case number. |
| Other information | |
| pinpoint | The page or paragraph number at which information or a quotation you are referring to appears, like this: "528", "p. 528" or "para. 25". When referring to a range of pages or paragraph numbers, separate the starting and ending numbers with an en dash like this: "528–530". |
| date | The date that the case was decided. You may enter the date in any format accepted by the template {{date}}, such as "9 October 1998" or "1998-10-09". It will appear a day-month-year format. |
| parallelcite | Parallel citations to the case. If there is more than one parallel citation, separate the citations with commas, like this: "E.2006/140, K.2008/185". |
| courtname | The court that decided the case. The name of the court can be wikilinked, like this: "[[Constitutional Court of Turkey|Constitutional Court]]".
To have the template automatically indicate the court and jurisdiction of a case, type "courtname=auto". |
| juris | The jurisdiction that decided the case, such as "Turkey". It is unnecessary to use this parameter if you are already using "courtname=auto". |
