Template:British-Museum-object
This article is about an item held in the British Museum.
Usage
[edit source]This template takes two parameters, both optional.
The first, unnamed parameter has the text that is shown:
{{British-Museum-object|EA 32751}}→This article is about an item held in the British Museum. The object reference is EA 32751.
Then parameter |url= can be used to create an external link:
{{British-Museum-object|The Ringlemere gold cup|url=http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe_prb/t/the_ringlemere_gold_cup.aspx}}→This article is about an item held in the British Museum. The object reference is The Ringlemere gold cup.
{{British-Museum-object||url=https://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe_prb/t/the_ringlemere_gold_cup.aspx}}→This article is about an item held in the British Museum. [1]
Parameter |id=, can be used for the database number instead of the full url. This automatically generates the url for the BM collection database record, with "objectid=" in the url. (This number is not to be confused with the British Museum "registration number", department based "big number" or the image identification numbers shown on photographs).
{{British-Museum-object|EA 32751|id=117645}}→This article is about an item held in the British Museum. The object reference is EA 32751.
Note that if |url=, this will have no effect.
Using no parameters may be trivial:
{{British-Museum-object}}→This article is about an item held in the British Museum.
Notes
- The examples are from Ringlemere Cup and Ginger (mummy).
