Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template provides a standardized inline reference for the National Register of Historic Places' NRIS database as a source.

Usage

Template syntax is as follows:

{{NRISref |version=see below for available database versions |dateform=format |accessdate=date |link=no |refnum=NRIS ID |name=title}}

For example, {{NRISref|2013a|dateform=mdy|accessdate=May 29, 2024|refnum=66000030|name=Lincoln Memorial}} renders:

"National Register Information System – Lincoln Memorial (#66000030)". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. November 2, 2013. Retrieved May 29, 2024.

Parameters

Acceptable values for the |version= parameter represent specific versions of the NRIS database:

• 2013a: Database released November 2013, with changes up to September 30, 2014.
• 2010a: Database released December 2010, with changes up to July 9, 2010.
• 2009a: Database available until July 2010, with changes up to March 13, 2009. Used in probably 10,000+ Wikipedia articles. It was soon reuploaded on the NPS Focus website at http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/All_Data.html (now a deadlink).
• 2008b: Database containing updates through April 24, 2008. Used in 1,206 articles that still included this as of January 2011 (according to this report).
• 2008a: Database containing updates through April 15, 2008. Used in several thousand Wikipedia articles.
• 2007b: Database containing updates through June 30, 2007. Used in 296 Wikipedia articles as of January 2011.
• 2007a: Database containing updates through January 23, 2007. Used in several thousand Wikipedia articles.
• 2006a: Database containing updates through March 15, 2006. Used in 315 Wikipedia articles as of January 2011.

Any year in which only one database version is present may drop the \"a\" at the end (e.g. \"2010\" will work in place of \"2010a\"). It is also possible to simply make the database the first unnamed parameter used in the template (e.g. {{NRISref|2009a}} works exactly the same as {{NRISref|version=2009a}}). If the database value in |version= is incorrectly specified or missing, the article is added to Category:NRISref errors. There are currently 0 pages in the error category.

Optional parameters

• |dateform=
  • "dmy" gives 9 July 2010
  • "mdy" gives July 9, 2010, this is the default if no dateform is specified.
  • "ymd" and "iso" give 2010-07-09
• |accessdate= - Set this to the date on which the database was accessed.
• |link= - Setting this to no removes links to the database download website.
• |refnum= - Setting this to the NRIS ID creates a link to the specific page on the database.
• |name= - Setting this to the title of the property adds a name to the link created by refnum.
