Thanks for this, it answers a problem that I had recognised, but didn't know how to address. The one drawback with this as a general proposition is that you need to be a wikitree leader in order to create and edit templates. While you are one, I am not and neither are the majority of people who might use such a facility.
My own issue (perhaps you could oblige with a template, or tell me who to ask?):
In some of my profiles here I would like to link to document transcriptions on my own one-name study website. Although the internal structure of the website is under my control, the web address is not and it's always possible that I may change host in the future. To address this it would be useful for me to have a template input of the form:
{{Kingsman ONS | folder= | page= }}
so that within a profile I could place something like:
{{Kingsman ONS | folder=documents/ | page=kingsman/1550thomaserneley1595will.html}}
which would then output as :
http://kingsman.one-name.net/documents/kingsman/1550thomaserneley1595will.html
and if I write the whole thing as:
[{{Kingsman ONS | folder=documents | page=kingsman/1550thomaserneley1595will.html}} | Will of Thomas Erneley]
I should get the format that I want and the facility to easily change the IP address for all such in the future should it become necessary.
Thanks for your help. I don't know if this sort of facility would have appeal to other ONS project leaders, it might be useful to have a more general template where the name of the ONS is also a variable and links to the appropriate IP address, but I don't know how the syntax for that would look.
