Template:EmmyTVLegends name

EmmyTVLegends name interview video at the Archive of American Television

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a template to generate links to interviews of specific people at the Archive of American Television website. It should only be used in the "external links" section of an article.

To link a specific television program, use {{EmmyTVLegends title}}.

Usage

The required parameter is the ID text. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:

* {{EmmyTVLegends name|ID}}
* {{EmmyTVLegends name | id = ID}}

To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter:

* {{EmmyTVLegends name|ID|Name}}
* {{EmmyTVLegends name | id = ID | name = Name}}

Instructions

1. Go to emmytvlegends.org and search for the person you want
2. Click on the correct link to go to the person page
3. The URL will look like this: http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/<!-- ID -->. Copy the part of the url which is substituted here with <!-- ID -->. This will be the first parameter (or id=).
4. Add the person's name in the next parameter (or name=) if it is different from the page name.
5. Add one of the following to the external links section of the article:

* {{EmmyTVLegends name | id= <<!-- ID -->}}

* {{EmmyTVLegends name | <!-- ID -->}}

* {{EmmyTVLegends name | id= <!-- ID --> | name= <!-- name -->}}

* {{EmmyTVLegends name | <!-- ID --> | <!-- name -->}}

This can be used when the Wikipedia page name contains disambiguation brackets; for example at the page Robert Butler (director) use {{EmmyTVLegends name|robert-butler|Robert Butler}} to have "Robert Butler interview video at the Archive of American Television" rather than "Robert Butler (director) interview video at the Archive of American Television". This is also necessary should you need to add an interview link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the link for Steve Allen in the Meeting of Minds article, you must specify "Steve Allen" as the text for the link using this option).

Detailed instructions

1. Copy and paste one of the options above into the article
2. Go to http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people and search for the person you want (say, Dick Cavett; you'll reach http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/dick-cavett)
3. Copy only the text after /people/ (here, "dick-cavett")
4. Replace "ID" in the template code with the text
   1. For the first option above, you'll then have

      * {{EmmyTVLegends name|dick-cavett}} resulting in:

      • EmmyTVLegends name interview video at the Archive of American Television

      Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page "Dick Cavett", use the second option:

   2. Replace "ID" with the text taken from the URL and "Name" with "Dick Cavett"

      * {{EmmyTVLegends name|dick-cavett|Dick Cavett}} results in:

      • Dick Cavett interview video at the Archive of American Television
