Template:Cite AWT/doc


 * Description
 * Shortens references to an individual's page on AWT, the Ancestry World Tree


 * Syntax
 * AWT URLs are like this:
 * http:// awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db= (database number) &id= (ID of individual)
 * Instead of (or after) pasting the full URL into the "source" field, type then insert the database number after the first pipe and the ID number after the second.


 * Notes
 * Can be really handy if you are dealing with several individuals from the same database: have the bulk of the template ready in another window and copy/paste with just the ID number to type in, so that you do not have to go to the page and copy and paste the whole URL.
 * The resulting display on the wiki makes it much easier to check whether you already have that individual's page elsewhere.
 * This template gives you the "GET" page, i.e. the page with most info about the person. Sometimes a different page is more useful (notably the pedigree, which gives parents' death details, and the descendancy, which gives children's death details). We do not yet have a template for any of them.
 * WorldConnect has a similar URL structure. Someone could make a similar template for it.
