Template:FamilySearch Collection/doc

Purpose
This template can be used to add a header to articles about FamilySearch Historical Record Collections available to search or browse. Using the template it is possible to add a link in the wiki inviting users to search or browse the records described in the article.

Once the site comes out of beta, articles that have used this template will be updated with a single edit to the RecordSearch template.
