::If you review article like [[Argentina Vital Records Index]] and [[California Vital Records Index]] you will see that they have collection IDs. I think you need to keep the first parameter as the ID, the second as the title and add a third named parameter, e.g. ''available'' and then test for ''available=no'' and if that is true to display the alternative text and no link. --[[User:CottrellS|Steve]] 14:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC) | ::If you review article like [[Argentina Vital Records Index]] and [[California Vital Records Index]] you will see that they have collection IDs.

:::Okay, that is good to know. I did not take a close look at it. Before making this change especially a TRUE/FALSE situation, I would like the Record Search team to comment on all this to see if other situations may exist. Thank you.

::::I have thought of another situation where the template, as is, will not work as desired. The template will work for single collection articles, but many articles, particulary those about vital records, refer to more than one collection ID. --[[User:CottrellS|Steve]] 16:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC) | |||
