create, by adapting the existing instructions at Template talk:NPG name

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

== Purpose ==
This is a template to generate links from biographical articles to the catalogue of the [[National Portrait Gallery (England)|National Portrait Gallery]] (NPG) in London, England.

It allows a link to the NPG's list of portraits of that person.

== Usage ==
<pre>
{{NPG name | id= |name= }}
</pre>

e.g.
<pre>
{{NPG name | id=01294 |name=Charles Dickens }}
</pre>

produces: {{NPG name | id=01294 |name=Charles Dickens }}

== Finding the ID ==

# Go to {{URL|npg.org.uk}} and search for the person you want
# Click on the correct link to go to the details of a picture of the person you want. Be sure you are getting the right person
#Below the picture and its details, the sitter and the artist should both be listed.
#Click on the link for the sitter
# The page [[URL]] should look like <nowiki>http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/person.asp?LinkID=mp#######</nowiki>, where "#######" indicates a number.
# Copy ONLY that number (be sure to remove the "mp" and to keep all the zeros)
# Add to the external links section the text:
:<nowiki>{{npg name|id=#######|name=Name}}</nowiki>
:where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name

===Example===

#Searching for "Harold Wilson", you will reach this page: http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/portList.asp?search=sp&sText=Harold+Wilson
#Click on the link for the first picture
#Below the thumbnail picture, you will see the hyperlinked text:
:''Sitter: (James) Harold Wilson, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx (1916-1995), Prime Minister.''
#Click on the link
#From the URL of the page displayed,
#Copy "04868" and then write:
:<nowiki>{{npg name|id=04868|name=Harold Wilson}}</nowiki>
The result is {{npg name|id=04868|name=Harold Wilson}}

Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
