Upgrade StorageStyle Error: The University of Melbourne - Harvard
This style has not been updated for years, and it was never right to begin with.
In particular when referencing online documents, the current file gives the following output:
Hawking, S 1966, ‘Properties of expanding universes’, accessed April 27, 2019, from < https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/251038 >.
The University of Melbourne's style guide states clearly that for webpages, it should look like this:
Greenblatt, S 2002, A special letter from Stephen Greenblatt, viewed 25th March 2010, < http://mla.org/scholarly_pub >.
Documents within webpages are similar:
Greenblatt, S 2002, A special letter from Stephen Greenblatt, Modern Language Association, New York, viewed 15 October 2008, < http://www.mla.org/scholarly_pub >.
I have edited the style accordingly, and I think many Unimelb students will benefit from the revised file:
Hawking, S 1966, ‘Properties of expanding universes’, viewed 27 April 2019, .
Will I be able to upload the file for Zotero to update their style repository?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
We're more than happy to get styles corrected, but equally rely on users reporting those. If no user ever said anything "for years", then we have no way of knowing.
