This template is intended for use in the External Links section. It displays the location of a notable figure's archives, identifiers, access conditions, and a link to the digital description. It uses the Wikidata property (P485).

Usage

Placement

This template should normally be placed at the top of the ==External links== section at the end of an article, if the article has a section for external links. If no such section exists, then please place it at the top of the last section in the article.

Wikidata use

This template can call the following parameters from Wikidata, if they are available. Alternatively, manual entry is possible for all fields, and will override any Wikidata values.

Wikidata values

Parameter	Wikidata entity	Notes
location	(P485)	property: (P485)
inventory_number	(P217)	qualifier for Property: (P485)
description_URL	(P973)	qualifier for Property: (P485)

Simple

To use this template, please make data available for at least the location and description_URL parameters. These values may be called from Wikidata (if present) or manually entered. Manual entry will override any Wikidata values.

Wikidata-aware

If Wikidata values exist for location and description_URL, use: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

</syntaxhighlight>

You can include the title parameter to modify the source link text (defaults to "digital description").

For example, the following code on Ursula Franklin's page (Wikidata item (Q77729)) will produce:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

</syntaxhighlight>

This example can also be formatted in a more human-readable way: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

</syntaxhighlight>

Manual entry

If entering manually, use: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

</syntaxhighlight>

For example, the following code will produce:
