Usage

[edit]

Step 1: Find the author ID at the Faded Page website https://www.fadedpage.com
a) From the main page under "Browse...Author", choose the letter corresponding to the author's last name. For example, for "Edgar Rice Burroughs", choose the letter "B"
b) From the authors page for "B" find "Burroughs, Edgar Rice"
c) Click on an individual book title to view a book page

Step 2A: To link to the author:
- Create the template like this:

{{FadedPage|id=Burroughs, Edgar Rice|name=Edgar Rice Burroughs|author=yes}}

The id is the string used to construct the url

The name is the author's name

The author must be "author=yes" to denote an author type link rather than a book type link

Step 2B: To link to a book:
- Create the template like this:

{{FadedPage|id=20160704|name=Tarzan and the Lost Empire}}

The id is the eight digit string used to construct the url

The name is the title of the book
