Usage guidelines

ATTENTION!
MIGR Documents are being moved to Lenovo's support website, and getting renamed to DC123456 format. Luckily they put in a legacy link we can use for now, but where possible the new format should be used, for which a new LNVDOCURL template has been created.

Use this template to link to any IBM/Lenovo MIGR documents. The MIGR and other Lenovo and IBM documents are kept in a database system accessed by a base URI. That base URI has been changed at least three times already, which causes a MASSIVE amount of broken links everywhere in ThinkWiki.

By using this template, we can fix them all in a central location.

Usage:

 {{IBMDOCURL|MIGR-12345|Hardware documentation for ThinkPad AK-47}}
