Usage
{{British-Museum-db|<ref text>|<accession number>}}
This provides a simple link named "<ref text>" to the British Museum collection database record based on the accession number. In preference, <ref text> will normally be either the accession number or the BM "big number" which will vary in format for each BM department but is shown on the collection database record.
The accession number may use the parameter "id=" if desired. If no accession number is included then the text is prefixed by a link to the BM database help page.
Note that accession numbers should be identical to the "objectid=" code in the url of the British Museum collection database record for the item. You can check the listing by searching for any object at http://www.britishmuseum.org/research.aspx
Examples
