User:SvareJM/Sandbox/Document Template Catalog Publication

This template is to help you modify articles for collections that were scheduled to be published on Historical Records but were instead published through the catalog.

Only minor modifications to a regular HR article are needed to make it usable for the catalog. The only addition is the HR_Tip template the goes between the breadcrumb trail and the Infobox.

When the article is complete a link can be added from the catalog record(s) to the Historical Records article.

Copy the code you need from this page by selecting and highlighting text in the grey boxes. There is no need to edit anything.

Breadcrumbs
For a single locality, usually a national collection, use the wiki article for the country as the breadcrumb. Locality For multiple localities, the national level is first, followed by the state, county, town, and any lower level. In this template the lowest level is placed in link5.

Infoboxes
See this page for all current infobox parameters. The link opens in a new window.
