Template:Coflein/doc

This template is used to provide a link to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) — Coflein database  containing details of over 110,000 buildings, archaeological, industrial and maritime sites throughout Wales.

Required parameter

 * num: the NPRN (National Primary Record Number) from the database.

Optional parameters
Additional information for the title:
 * desc: additional text description such as the name of the building or site; useful if there are several listed objects in an article. If this parameter is not used, default text 'Details from Coflein database' will be displayed instead.
 * access-date: the date a Wikipedia editor retrieved information from the Coflein database.
 * mode: defaults to cs1; set to cs2 to provide consistency with citation style 2, as produced by
 * postscript: controls the closing punctuation for the citation; defaults to a period ; for no terminating punctuation, set to none, however using cs2 does this automatically
 * fewer-links: use yes to remove repeated wikilinks where the template is used more than once in an article
 * ref: defaults to author (RCAHMW) and the NPRN, but can be reset to any value
 * short: use yes with num to produce an external link with just the list number shown; yes suppresses the display of other parameters.

All Cite web parameters are available.

If a short citation is required (not to be confused with short) and one of the harv templates or sfn is used then  will link the short reference to the long one. For example,  produces  that links to the 'Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd' example above. This is different from the standard use of the that links using the parameters 'author' and 'date' or 'year'.

Some articles may have multiple entries. yes can be used to remove the repeated internal wikilinks from any additional and subsequent instances of the template:
