Usage
[edit]Simple usage
[edit]* {{PASE|ID|PASE name}}
for example:
* {{PASE|67739|Æthelstan 18}}
generates:
To find the ID, first find the specific person (e.g. Æthelstan 18 in the list of Æthelstans), then click on the name in the list. When the record of the person shows up at the bottom of the page, the ID will be at the end of the url.
Further options
[edit]The option accessdate= can be used to add an access date, eg
- Æthelstan 18 at Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England. Retrieved 2025-04-20.
The option cw=1 gives output formatted via {{cite web}}, as
- "Æthelstan 18". Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England. Retrieved 2025-04-20.
which may fit in better with the format of some reference lists.
The option nm=1 outputs just the name,
Finally the option bare=1 gives just the bare link,
which can then be marked up as desired.
It is probably a good thing for all links to people on PASE to use the template as far as possible, rather than a direct link, so that if the preferred URL format ever changes again it will be straightforward to update all the links in one simple step.
