Thread - Using the IArchS template

Hi,

You've been adding so many wonderful things from this massive archive - so I thought you might like to know the trick to making the {{IArchS}} template work properly. You have to include more of the url string to make it link directly to Internet archive's reader, which is quite nice. For example using the template on Howard's ''Selected Songs and Cantatas'' the way you appear to be mainly using it {{IArchS|songscantatas00howa}} results in archive.org - a simple link to the detail page, while adding the rest of the url-string {{IArchS|songscantatas00howa#page/n3}} gives archive.org - a direct link to the reader itself.

That's the main reason I set up the separate template - so we could have direct links to the reader. This is especially useful for the larger files which result from the color scans of manuscripts and early prints. There are also a couple of additional subsidiary templates for Internet archive. {{IArchDt}} enables you to do a direct link to an individual page (as in a composer catalogue, a biography, etc.) and the {{IArchS1}} which is basically a single-page version of the {{IArchS}} template.
