Wales Archaeological Trusts Primary Reference Numbers: A template to provide a link to the Archwillio data page, or other organisation where supported (Historic Wales, Coflein, National Trust), for an archaeological site, from the Trust and PRN/identifier supplied.
Usage
- Short form
- best suited to list references, where the abbreviations are explained elsewhere
{{ Watprn | Trust abbreviation | PRN number }}
e.g. {{Watprn|GGAT|00987g}}
- Long form
- where a fully explained reference is required (identified by using the optional 'title=' parameter)
{{ Watprn | Trust abbreviation | PRN number | title=Site name}}
e.g. {{Watprn|GGAT|00987g|title=Gray Hill Circle}}
Trust abbreviations
There are four trusts that cover the whole of Wales. Further websites/databases are also supported. These are:-
- GGAT
- Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust
- GAT
- Gwynedd Archaeological Trust
- CPAT
- Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust
- DAT
- Dyfed Archaeological Trust
- coflein
- RCAHMW website (using NPRN at www.coflein.co.uk)
- NT
- National Trust website (uses the 'website-name-of-the-property rather than a code number). Adding a Title= with a short form or standard name for the property is also recommended for NT
- HW
- Historic Wales, a map-based resource with links to the Cadw site description, and other useful databases.
- Cadw
- Cadw Scheduled Monument Reports. Includes site description and interpretation. Nb, it requires the page code - not the SAM number!
If a PRN number is supplied, it provides a link directly to that entry in the Historic Environment Record database at Archwillio, e.g. GGAT PRN: 00987g
If no PRN is supplied, it provides a link to the relevant search page, e.g. GGAT PRN not yet identified, although HW finds the site using just grid reference data.
Optional parameters
If a Title is supplied, by using the optional 'title=' parameter, further optional parameters will also be displayed:-
- title=
- Normally this will be the 'official' name for the site being referenced.
- access-date=
- to note the date at which the entry was last consulted.
- author=
- to identify a particular author, if the database entry identifies a particular author.
As with the short form, the long form can be used with or without the PRN/unique identifier. eg:
- e.g.
{{Watprn|coflein|308078|title=Holyhead Mountain Hut Circles|access-date=4 February 2016|author=John Wiles (2007)}}
- John Wiles (2007), Holyhead Mountain Hut Circles (ID NPRN308078). at the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW). Retrieved 4 February 2016
- e.g.
{{Watprn|NT|marloes-sands-and-mere|title=Marloes Peninsula|access-date=4 February 2016}}
- National Trust web page for Marloes Peninsula. See also interactive maps of NT property ownership.. Retrieved 4 February 2016
Historic Wales has three compulsory un-named parameters
- the Cadw reference ID (two letter county code and three digit number)
- OS grid Northing
- OS grid Easting. These use the full six-digit form of grid reference, and must avoid all spaces or it will break the URL.
- e.g.
{{Watprn|HW|AN032|370700|232900|title=Barclodiad-y-Gawres Burial Chamber|access-date=3 September 2017}}
