Template:Royal Collection/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for an object in the Royal Collection.

Usage

[edit]

The two required parameters are:

  • RCIN, Royal Collection Identification Number. It is displayed on every object page; it is also a part of the address of every object page.
  • Object name to be displayed with the link.

The third parameter is optional:

  • Creator of the object to be displayed with the link.


{{Royal Collection|912197|Sir George Carew}} gives:

"Sir George Carew". Royal Collection Trust. Inventory no. 912197.

{{Royal Collection|912197|Sir George Carew|Hans Holbein the Younger}} gives:

Hans Holbein the Younger. "Sir George Carew". Royal Collection Trust. Inventory no. 912197.

{{Royal Collection|912197|Sir George Carew|[[Hans Holbein the Younger]]}} gives:

In addition there are some other named parameter which can be used with named or unnamed parameters:
