Instructions

edit

Add the template to the "external links" section of the article, or use it in <ref></ref> tags.

To use this template, first search for the NRA page relating to the organisation, person, family or place.

This will often lead to a list of possible matches. If the one you want (e.g. that for George Orwell) is there, click through to the relevant page. The id is the string with which the URL ends, after ID=, e.g. here F39029.

This template replaces {{NRA}}, which uses a deprecated form of ID.
