Template:National Heritage List for England/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:National Heritage List for England.

In most cases it contains usage information, example, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to provide a link to the Historic England — National Heritage List for England database (https://HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/the-list/) for a specified listed building or object in England.

For listed buildings, the database records all those in England, and is updated as changes to entries are made and new listings are added. The similar Images of England (IoE) list records a snapshot of those listed at the turn of the millennium, and provides a photograph, but uses a different index number, and is not updated with list changes since it was created.

The database also contains the following registered historic locations or sites in England:

• Historic Parks and Gardens
• Scheduled monuments
• Protected wrecks
• Historic battlefields
• World Heritage sites

Usage

Required parameter

• num: the 'list entry number' from the database (not the same as the IoE Number used by Images of England).

Optional parameters

Additional information for the title:

• desc: additional text description such as the name of the building or site. Useful if there are several listed objects in an article. If this parameter is not used default text "Details from listed building database" will be displayed instead.
• grade: to identify the Grade of a listed building. Enter as II, II* or I. Only appears if Template:Para is also used.
• author: defaults to 'Historic England' but can be changed to another name if desired.
• author-link: defaults to "Historic England" but is not set by default if author is set to something other than Historic England.
• date: the date provided by Historic England. Can be a full or partial date.
• year: the year provided by Historic England. Use of Template:Para is recommended; see Template:Cite web/doc#Date for proper usage.
• orig-date: the date information was first provided by Historic England. Only appears if Template:Para or Template:Para is also used.
• accessdate: the date a Wikipedia editor retrieved information from the Historic England list database.
• mode: defaults to Template:Para; set to Template:Para to provide consistency with Citation style 2, as produced by {{Citation}}.
• postscript: controls the closing punctuation for the citation. Defaults to a period (.); for no terminating punctuation set to Template:Para, however using Template:Para does this automatically.
• fewer-links: use Template:Para to remove repeated links where the template is used more than once in an article.
• ref: defaults to author (Historic England) and the Historic England List Number, but can be reset to any value.
• short: use Template:Para with Template:Para to produce an external link with just the list number shown. Template:Para suppresses the display of other parameters.

Examples

{{National Heritage List for England|num=1188692}} displays as:

Template:National Heritage List for England

{{National Heritage List for England|num=1188692|short=yes}} displays as:

{{National Heritage List for England|num=1188692|desc=Southgate Underground station}} displays as:

Template:National Heritage List for England

{{National Heritage List for England|num=1188692|desc=Southgate Underground station|grade=II*|accessdate=4 July 2024}} displays as:

{{National Heritage List for England|num=1162800|desc=Church of St Michael and All Angels, Ashton-under-Lyne|accessdate=4 July 2024|mode=cs2}} displays as:

Template:National Heritage List for England

If a short citation is required (not to be confused with Template:Para) and one of the {{harv}} templates or {{sfn}} is used then {{harv|Historic England|Historic England list entry number}} will link the short reference to the long one. For example, {{harv|Historic England|1162800}} produces Template:Harv that links to the 'Church of St Michael and All Angels' example above. This is different from the standard use of the {{harv}} that links using the parameters 'author' and 'date' or 'year'.

Some articles (e.g. Kingston upon Hull) have multiple entries. Template:Para can be used to remove the repeated internal links from second and later instances of the template:
{{National Heritage List for England|num=1001519|desc=East Park, Hull}}
{{National Heritage List for England|num=1001520|desc=Pearson Park|fewer-links=yes}} displays as:

Template:National Heritage List for England
