Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to provide a link to the Cadw — National Historic Assets of Wales (NHAW) database (https://cadw.gov.wales/historicenvironment/recordsv1/cof-cymru/?lang=en) for a designated historic asset or site in Wales.

The database contains the following designated historic assets or sites in Wales:

• Listed buildings
• Protected wrecks (PW)
• Registered historic landscapes (RHL)
• Scheduled monuments (SM)
• World Heritage sites (WHS)

The database records all those in Wales, and is updated as changes to entries are made, and new listings are added. As of October 2021 the database contains : Listed buildings (around 30,000), Protected wrecks (6), Registered historic landscapes (58), Scheduled monuments (around 4200) and World Heritage sites (12).

Usage

Most commonly used parameters in horizontal format

{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num= |desc= |grade= |access-date= }} : for Listed Buildings {{National Historic Assets of Wales|num= |desc= |class= |access-date= }} : for Protected Wrecks {{National Historic Assets of Wales|num= |desc= |class= |uid= |access-date= }} : for Registered Heritage Landscapes, Scheduled Monuments and World Heritage Sites

Required parameter for all types

• num: the 'list entry number' from the database.

Required parameters for historic assets other than listed buildings

• class: to adjust the URL based on the type of asset. Do not use for listed buildings. Accepted values are:
  • PW = Protected wreck
  • RHL = Registered historic landscape
  • SM = Scheduled monument
  • WHS = World Heritage site
• uid: The id extracted from the URL, for example: http://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/historiclandscape/FullReport?lang=en&id=HLW%20(Gw)%205. For registered historic landscapes, scheduled monuments and World Heritage sites this is different from the 'num', which is also a required. Do not use for protected wrecks or listed buildings.

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 online database' will be displayed instead.
• grade: to display the Grade of a listed building; enter as II, II* or I. Only appears if |desc= is also used. Only use for listed buildings
• author: defaults to Cadw, but can be changed to another name if desired
• author-link: defaults to Cadw, but is not set by default if author is set to something other than Cadw
• date: the date provided by Cadw; can be a full or partial date
• year: the year provided by Cadw; use of |date= is recommended, see Template:Cite web/doc#Date for proper usage
• orig-year: the year information was first provided by Cadw; only appears if |date= or |year= is also used
• access-date: the date a Wikipedia editor retrieved information from the Cadw list database.
• mode: defaults to |mode=cs1; set to |mode=cs2 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 |postscript=none, however using |mode=cs2 does this automatically
• fewer-links: use |fewer-links=yes to remove repeated wikilinks where the template is used more than once in an article
• ref: defaults to author (Cadw) and the National Historic Assets of Wales number, but can be reset to any value
• short: use |short=yes with |num= to produce an external link with just the list number shown; |short=yes suppresses the display of other parameters.

All {{Cite web}} parameters are available.

Examples

{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=26689}} displays as:

Cadw. "Details from online database (26689)". National Historic Assets of Wales.

{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=26689|short=yes}} displays as:

26689

{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=26689|desc=Cardiff Bridge}} displays as:

Cadw. "Cardiff Bridge (26689)". National Historic Assets of Wales.

{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=26689|desc=Cardiff Bridge|grade=II|access-date=26 December 2024}} displays as:

Cadw. "Cardiff Bridge (Grade II) (26689)". National Historic Assets of Wales. Retrieved 26 December 2024.

{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=26689|desc=Cardiff Bridge|access-date=26 December 2024|mode=cs2}} displays as:

Cadw, "Cardiff Bridge (26689)", National Historic Assets of Wales, retrieved 26 December 2024

If a short citation is required (not to be confused with |short=) and one of the {{harv}} templates or {{sfn}} is used then {{harv|CADW|Historic Assets of Wales list entry number}} will link the short reference to the long one. For example, {{harv|Cadw|26689}} produces (Cadw & 26689) that links to the 'Cardiff Bridge' example above. This is different from the standard use of the {{harv}} that links using the parameters 'author' and 'date' or 'year'.

Some articles may have multiple entries. |fewer-links=yes can be used to remove the repeated internal wikilinks from any additional and subsequent instances of the template:
{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=13690|desc=Statue of Third Marquess of Bute}}
{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=13799|desc=Statue of Second Marquess of Bute|fewer-links=yes}} displays as:

Cadw. "Statue of Third Marquess of Bute (13690)". National Historic Assets of Wales.

Cadw. "Statue of Second Marquess of Bute (13799)". National Historic Assets of Wales.
