Template for Exhibitions at the Folger articles
This is one of a series of articles which describes a template that will allow for consistent and easy article creation on Folgerpedia.
Help others jumpstart their research by contributing information about an exhibition at the Folger. Title your article with the name of the exhibtion, (eg. Shakespeare's the Thing, Very Like a Whale, Shakespeare in American Life). All exhibitions should be listed on the Exhibitions at the Folger page and are listed in sequential order. If you are creating the page name on the Exhibitions page mark it as [[Name of exhibition|''Name of exhibition'']] (date) so that the article title is shown in italics but will remain without them for the actual page.
Click the "piece of paper" symbol in the upper right corner of your page and select "Edit Source." In this editing mode, copy the code below the line (<hr/>) into the "creating" page to get a head-start on creating an article for a finding aid on a specific person or topic. You probably won't need all the sections listed below, they are simply suggestions. Two categories:Exhibitions and Public Programs is necessary for all exhibition articles, but other designators can be used as applicable.
Addition Templates are also available if an exhibition requires additional pages.
Don't forget to remove the "template" category from your finished article!
You can save a DRAFT of your article by putting {{draft}} as the first word in the article.
Examples:
- David Garrick, 1717–1779: A Theatrical Life
- Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible
- Nobility and Newcomers in Renaissance Ireland
