View source for Template for former owners of Folger materials articles

This is one of a series of articles which describes a template that will allow for consistent and easy article creation on [[Folgerpedia]]. 

This template is for recording information about the [[Former owners|former owner]] of a [[Folger Shakespeare Library]] collections item or items. Click the "piece of paper symbol" in the upper right of your screen. Under "edit source," copy the code below the line (<nowiki><hr/></nowiki>) into the "creating" page to get a head-start on creating an article for a collections item. You won't necessarily need all the sections listed below, they are simply suggestions.  

Title your article with the name of the former owner. 

You can save a DRAFT of your article by putting <nowiki>{{draft}}</nowiki> as the first word in the article (with the curly brackets). 

Examples: 

[[Henry Huth]]
