Template:National Gazetteer link/doc

Purpose

This template enables linking external to the work to articles from The National Gazetteer: A Topographical Dictionary of the British Isles.

Usage

{{NatGaz link|link=name of the entry}}

{{National Gazetteer link|link=Manchester}}
{{National Gazetteer link|Manchester}}
{{NatGaz link|link=Manchester}}

produce

"Manchester," in The National Gazetteer: A Topographical Dictionary of the British Islands, London: Virtue & Co. (1868)

Note

1) Entries in the gazetteer do not have disambiguation pages, such that a template being used for "Abbey" will red-link even though there may exist several articles under dabbed titles, such as "Abbey (Devon)", "Abbey (Hampshire)", "Abbey Green", "Westminster Abbey", &c.

2) Similarly, some q.v and see notices in the gazetteer may direct to names which do not exist as separate titles, such as Hants, which is actually dealt with under the entry named "Hampshire," in The National Gazetteer: A Topographical Dictionary of the British Islands, London: Virtue & Co. (1868).
