The purpose of this template is to have a single location for the Maryland Historical Trust base url as a method of combating link rot.
The template takes two parameters:
|id=
– (required) the value assigned to the query HDID
or NRID
in the source's url|title=
– (optional) the title of the linked documentParameter names are not required. When not used, the positional order is:
((MHT url|identifier|title))
When |title=
is empty or omitted, the template produces a url suitable for use in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates.
((cite web |title=Washington Monument |url=((MHT url|id=107)) |website=[[Maryland Historical Trust]] |access-date=2016-03-11))
With a title, the template produces a properly marked up external wikilink:
((MHT url|id=107|title=Washington Monument))
