Required parameter
- num: the NPRN (National Primary Record Number) from the database.
Optional parameters
Additional information for the title:
- desc: additional text description such as the name of the building or site; useful if there are several listed objects in an article. If this parameter is not used, default text 'Details from Coflein database' will be displayed instead.
- access-date: the date a Wikipedia editor retrieved information from the Coflein database.
- mode: defaults to
|mode=cs1; set to|mode=cs2to provide consistency with citation style 2, as produced by{{citation}} - postscript: controls the closing punctuation for the citation; defaults to a period (
.); for no terminating punctuation, set to|postscript=none, however using|mode=cs2does this automatically - fewer-links: use
|fewer-links=yesto remove repeated wikilinks where the template is used more than once in an article - ref: defaults to author (RCAHMW) and the NPRN, but can be reset to any value
- short: use
|short=yeswith|num=to produce an external link with just the list number shown;|short=yessuppresses the display of other parameters.
All {{Cite web}} parameters are available.
Examples
{{Coflein|num=24145}} displays as:
- "Details from Coflein database (24145)". Coflein. RCAHMW.
{{Coflein|num=24145|short=yes}} displays as:
{{Coflein|num=24145|desc=Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd}} displays as:
{{Coflein|num=24145|desc=Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd|access-date=14 September 2024}} displays as:
- "Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd (24145)". Coflein. RCAHMW. Retrieved 14 September 2024.
{{Coflein|num=24145|desc=Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd|access-date=14 September 2024|mode=cs2}} displays as:
- "Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd (24145)", Coflein, RCAHMW, retrieved 14 September 2024
If a short citation is required (not to be confused with |short=) and one of the {{harv}} templates or {{sfn}} is used then {{harv|RCAHMW|NPRN}} will link the short reference to the long one. For example, {{harv|RCAHMW|24145}} produces (RCAHMW & 24145) that links to the 'Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd' example above. This is different from the standard use of the {{harv}} that links using the parameters 'author' and 'date' or 'year'.
Some articles may have multiple entries. |fewer-links=yes can be used to remove the repeated internal wikilinks from any additional and subsequent instances of the template:
{{Coflein|num=24145|desc=Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd}}
{{Coflein|num=275874|desc=Great Western Colliery: Hetty Pit, Pontypridd|fewer-links=yes}} displays as:
- "Pontypridd Old Bridge, Pontypridd (24145)". Coflein. RCAHMW.
- "Great Western Colliery: Hetty Pit, Pontypridd (275874)". Coflein. RCAHMW.
