Description

{{Lighthouse Digest}} is a template used to generate an external link to an entry in Lighthouse Digest's online Lighthouse Explorer Database.

Usage

In an article, this template should only be used in the "External links" section.

Basic usage

The required parameter is the ID number. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:

* {{Lighthouse Digest|ID}}

Example:

* {{Lighthouse Digest|1051}} will, when placed in the external links section of Krynica Morska Lighthouse, display as

Krynica Morska Lighthouse in Lighthouse Digest's Lighthouse Explorer Database

Named usage

If the article title includes a disambiguator, or if the template is used on a page with a title that differs from the lighthouse, it may be preferred to specify the anchor text with the second parameter:

* {{Lighthouse Digest|ID|NAME}}

Example:

* {{Lighthouse Digest|4788|Cape Bolinao Lighthouse}} will, when placed in the external links section of Bolinao, Pangasinan, display as

Cape Bolinao Lighthouse in Lighthouse Digest's Lighthouse Explorer Database
