Is there a Billion Graves template?

Question

Or how do I add a citation or link for Billion Graves? When I copy the paragraph with the record number to a profile, there is no link back to it. I looked for a template and didn't see one. I may not be searching correctly. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you,  Cheri

In my opinion, External Link Templates are meant to be a backup for the direct link in a citation, not a replacement.

If the BillionGraves.com-provided citation does not include a direct link to the memorial, or if the link isn't carried over when you copy/paste it (I have that problem with Findagrave.com citations), you can always copy/paste the direct link to the end of the citation.

On your referenced profile, I would combine citations 3 and 4 into a single citation by doing as I described in the above paragraph.

Okie, I didn't know I could do that. Thank you for the great instructions. I appreciate it!

Lindy,

The FindAGrave template was added for that purpose, so that if added / included with the Find a Grave citation, it will provide a direct link to the page.

{{FindAGrave|nnnnn}}  where nnnnn is the Memorial ID on Find a Grave.

If you are adding it for the person in the profile, that is all that you need, but if you are adding it to a Wiki profile that does not match the Find a Grave page, then you need to add sameas=no 

{{FindAGrave | nnnnn | sameas=no}}
