__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

This template is for linking books or authors at Faded Page book archive for Distributed Proofreaders Canada (DPC).

Usage

• Step 1: Find the author ID at the Faded Page website https://www.fadedpage.com
• a) From the main page under "Browse...Author", choose the letter corresponding to the author's last name. For example, for "Edgar Rice Burroughs", choose the letter "B"
• b) From the authors page for "B" find "Burroughs, Edgar Rice"
• c) Click on an individual book title to view a book page

• Step 2A: To link to the author:
  • Create the template like this:

{{FadedPage|id=Burroughs, Edgar Rice|name=Edgar Rice Burroughs|author=yes}}

The id is the string used to construct the url

The name is the author's name

The author must be "author=yes" to denote an author type link rather than a book type link

• Step 2B: To link to a book:
  • Create the template like this:

{{FadedPage|id=20160704|name=Tarzan and the Lost Empire}}

The id is the eight digit string used to construct the url

The name is the title of the book
