Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Aaregistry displays an external link to a page at the African American Registry.

{{aaregistry|Firstname Lastname or article title|Displayname}}

Usage

To create a link to the page for Paul Winfield, use only {{aaregistry}}. The template uses {{PAGENAMEBASE}} to create a default link.

Example 1

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.

→https://www.aaregistry.org/story/Paul-Winfield

Example 2

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.

→https://www.aaregistry.org/story/John-H.-Johnson

Example 3

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.

→https://www.aaregistry.org/story/Beautiful-and-talented,-Madame-Sul-Te-Wan
