Template:LibraryThing author/doc

The LibraryThing author template is a convenience template used to create an external link to an author at LibraryThing. Its use makes linking to LibraryThing cleaner and more uniform.

Usage
If no second parameter (or no name parameter) is specified then, the name of the article, is used for the title of the link (see first example). If the name of the article is unsuitable (e.g., "Michael Grant (author, born 1954)") then a second parameter (or name parameter) can be specified.
