Usage
[edit]To create a link to the page for Paul Winfield, use only {{aaregistry}}
. The template uses {{PAGENAMEBASE}}
to create a default link.
Example 1
[edit]Paul Winfield at the African American Registry
- →
{{aaregistry}}
Using {{PAGENAMEBASE}}
, a short URL for Paul Winfield is created. The website converts it to the full URL automatically.
Example 2
[edit]John Harold Johnson at the African American Registry
- →
{{aaregistry|John H. Johnson|John Harold Johnson}}
The short URL for John H. Johnson includes a period, which is also automatically parsed.
Example 3
[edit]Madame Sul-Te-Wan at the African American Registry
- →
{{aaregistry|Beautiful and talented, Madame Sul-Te-Wan|Madame Sul-Te-Wan}}
As is the case for Madame Sul-Te-Wan, sometimes {{PAGENAMEBASE}}
doesn't do the trick. In such cases the article title can be used.
