ATTENTION!
The IBMDOCURL template should not be used in any case at this point, as all of the links are already dead. If you intend to fix a dead link that was once used to access the MIGR documents, try linking it to the webarchive instead.

Usage guidelines

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}}
