(University of) Leeds Harvard - Style Needs Updating

There are some items on this citation style that are very unclear.

For instance, an Act of Parliament (https://library.leeds.ac.uk/referencing-examples/9/leeds-harvard/69/act-of-parliament) - does this correspond to a Bill or Statute in the style? Some other examples of confusing/missing styles: Parliamentary Bills (confusing and/or missing), Command Paper (missing), Religious Text (missing) and many more.

These are but a few and there are some stylistic issues that make it difficult to cross-reference Leeds library info (link above) with the Zotero citation style. As an example, when referring to a corporate author as listed on the library, in Zotero this means you need to use 'full name' in the author section.

I hope this makes sense - I would edit this myself but I don't know how to. I also haven't needed to use most of the Leeds Harvard reference examples, so there may be more issues I'm not aware of. Given that a new reference for AI is coming too, I just think the Zotero style needs an overhaul.
  • It just sounds like you're uncertain about how to enter specific items into Zotero? Zotero doesn't (can't) create new item types for specific citation styles, so I'm not sure what type of updates you're looking for.
    There's going to be a limit of how well Zotero supports legal/legislative materials (in general but particularly beyond the US). If that's a major area you're working in, you'll either want to cite those by hand or look at Juris-m.
