Hello,
Please note that International trade law, which is within this project's scope, has been selected as one of the Articles for improvement. The article is scheduled to appear on Wikipedia's Community portal in the "Articles for improvement" section for one week, beginning today. Everyone is encouraged to collaborate to improve the article. Thanks, and happy editing!

For many subjects related to law, the main Wikipedia categorising in language versions doesn't work. Main reason is because law is being categorised by jurisdiction, not language. For example the Dutch language Wikipedia knows at least two jurisdictions: Belgium and The Netherlands, the German language Wikipedia knows at least three jurisdictions: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the English language version knows many more, to start with the biggest: United Kingdom and the United States. So a law concept valid for one jurisdiction cannot be projected into another jurisdiction by simply translating a language version of a law concept. Therefore it's difficult to properly describe law concepts and give the articles logical names. It is impossible to connect articles within one language version, describing the situation in different jurisdictions, through Wikidata. Does anyone know: has this been discussed before and if yes, what was the outcome? When not, are there existing solutions for this problem or do they have to be developed?

Hello, I've done some work on {{Cite court}}. I've made live two updates that I believe are uncontroversial. The template now supports |archive-url= and |url-status=, and an obscure formatting bug is resolved. I have questions about a few changes. I'm testing these in the sandbox but have no plans to implement them unless there is a demand.
