Template:FamilySearch Collection/doc

Purpose
This template can be used to add a header to articles about FamilySearch Historical Record Collections available to search or browse. Using the template it is possible to add a link in the wiki inviting users to search or browse the records described in the article.

When the site changed from beta to production, articles that had used this template were updated with a single edit to the RecordSearch template.
