Template:Catalog lookup link/doc

This generic link template is used by other more specific templates to create short links to ID-based entries in external databases or catalogs, however, it can also be used to link to internal articles. The purpose of this template is to ensure a consistent appearance and easier maintenance of links to external databases/catalogs.

The template supports up to 9 unnamed parameters for the ID entries as well as a number of optional named parameters to adjust the link format to the target database and to modify the display format to make it suitable for as many catalog links as possible.

While additional format options might be provided in the future, the default output should always remain a short, but clear and unobtrusive single-line format suitable for inclusion as argument of the |id= parameter of the various {{citation}} templates. Typically, the template is not used directly, but indirectly called through other more specific templates (like those listed below under See also).
