*When possible, use the corresponding FamilySearch template to link to catalog entries that have links to digital images.<br><br>
*'''FHL Templates.''' When possible, use the corresponding FamilySearch template to link to catalog entries that have links to digital images. [[Help:FamilySearch Templates|FamilySearch Templates]]]<br><br>
*'''(*)''': Because the ability to view images varies from collection to collection for our patrons, add "(*)" at the end of the collection link to inform patrons that visiting a family history center or FamilySearch affiliate library may be required to view the images. Use "(*)" regardless of if the collection is currently unrestricted. Contracts are occasionally altered and there is no way to know if access has changed.
*'''Capitalize Title.''' Capitalize the title of the record.
 
*'''Author.''' If the links are downloaded from the Family History Library Catalog, the author can remain in the link and do not need to be removed.
*'''Higher Jurisdiction.''' Remove the higher jurisdication from the link if two are listed. For example: if the author is listed as, Fresno County (California) Recorder, the state of California should be removed.
*'''Years Covered.''' If two dates are listed in a link (one for the record and one for the index), combine the two to list the earliest date and the highest date. The Wiki is providing suggested dates of coverage. Actual coverage must be determined by the user.
*'''(*)''' Because many digitized records in the Family History Library Catalog are only viewable at the local family history center or affiliate library, a (*) should be added after the title of the record to let users know that the images may not readily be available. Use "(*)" regardless of if the collection is currently unrestricted as contracts regarding access change.
