Usage

To manually insert an infobox, you can copy&paste the following lines (containing only those fields that normally are filled; for a complete list, see above):

{{Infobox collection | century = saec. ... | title = Collectio ... | location = | normregion = | wikidata = | alttitle = | author1 = }}

If you you the visual edit mode, enter two "{", select "Infobox letter collection" when prompted, and fill out at the very least the pre-selected fields; there are drop-down menues that help you with fields that have certain standard values. You can normally leave the field "title" empty, but please leave your own (user) name in the appropriate box.
