Need help with creating a Ancestry link template thingy

Howdy, have tried my first attempt at making a template link to Ancestry and am getting more confused by the hour. An example of what I'm trying to turn into a template is: (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/3658/images/41659_290565-00531?pId=184434).  I've been over all sort of help pages and none ever use a link of this type as an explained example.  Maybe it doesn't work with this type of link?  Could someone show me an example of this link in template form please?  Am dealing with several profiles where much of the documentation I will be adding is only available in Ancestry record images.  Thank you for any help you can throw my way.

FYI if you have the WikiTree Sourcer extension installed then it will generate a citation for you that includes the Ancestry image template (and the sharing template)

That kind of link is covered here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Links_to_Ancestry.

In short:

{{Ancestry Image|1234|5678}}

https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/3658/images/41659_290565-00531?pId=184434

--> {{Ancestry Image|3658|41659_290565-00531}}

Thank you Ian!  Exactly what I needed!  I had looked over that help page among others but couldn't find an example of this specific type of imageviewer link; probably my aging eyes.  But this will help tremendously, so many thanks again!
