Template:Fmi817

See this listing at Galactic Central This template inserts the correct link to look up the story at the listings in the Galactic Central website's Fiction Magazines Index (fmi). The fmi is more unstable than the Central Fiction Index (cfi) in that the page numbers containing the Christie stories do change quite often.

Where possible, reference the cfi rather than the fmi and use this other template: cfi. However the fmi does contain more information than the cfi. Some magazines which published a Christie story are listed in the fmi but not in the cfi.

Hence this template is designed to allow easy global changes to all affected pages when the fmi index is updated and the details change (which could be often).

The link URL to the fmi consists of 2 parts.
 * The number that begins "n000...." specifies the page on the website. Christie stories are spread over two pages in the fmi. As at Dec 2021, the second page containing Christie's stories is n00817. This contains stories in alphabetical order after Peril at End House. Should this change in the future, e.g. if the maintainer adds new pages of authors who come alphabetically before Christie, this number can be edited here. Just a little while ago, this page was 00813. Today it is 00817 and hence this template is named fmi817.


 * The number that begins "#A...." specifies the section on the page where the story is found. This number is more stable and will not change much unless a hitherto unlisted Christie story is found through research and added to the index. The template passes this section number as parameter 1. Note that it is then evaluated with a parser function which adds an offset. As of Dec 2021, the offset is 0.

22 Dec 2021

 * As of 22 Dec 2021, the pages have all advanced by 1. What was page 817 is now page 818. The sections on the page have remained the same. So the correct code is now: n00817.htm#A{{#expr:{{{1}}}+0

6 Feb 2022

 * The correct page is now 819. The sections have remained the same.
