Template:FHL/doc

At this time, this only works based upon film, fiche, or book number. Other IDs or other cases are not set up to work as examples may be needed or other answers. Are there other cases needed to link to the Family History Library Catalog? If so, please discuss them in the right section on the Discussion page.

This is the {{FHL}} template. This template is used for formatting the text and links for FHL items generally used in source citations. Only one parameter is used and required, the FHL item number. When you search the Family History Library Catalog at http://www.FamilySearch.org/, you will find the call number which should be entered in the template as the first parameter.

Examples

All film or fiche require a "Film Number Search" (using only numbers, no letters, spaces, commas, or periods (none of these should be included)). Books, pamphlets, CDs, pedigrees, and maps require a "Call Number Search" (contains a combination of numbers and letters and always a space).

For the following methods, "|disp=" can be added to the end of the template to change the text that will be included in the link. For example {{FHL|343687|title-id|disp=Illinois Mortality Schedules 1850-1880}} will display as Illinois Mortality Schedules 1850-1880
{{FHL{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}	FHL Collection	Link. For some unusual cases. The display would not make sense to display the ID used internal to the FHLC. A problem exists with the old catalog for the title bar display. Do we need this? Do we want to use internal IDs? Are these ID persistent and will they be for a long time? These need to be answered by FHLC people. This is a prefered method, because it links directly to the resource, instead of going to search results. "|disp=" can be used to display any text.
