Template documentation

This template maps a raw FamilySearch place breadcrumb (the part of a Locality Subject line before the final  " - Subject", exactly as pasted from FamilySearch, e.g. England, London) to the actual wiki location string that should be used instead of the mechanical drop-country-and-reverse rule's result.

Used by Module:LocalitySubject via frame:expandTemplate, the same way {{Resource category switch values}} is called for subject normalization. An empty result (no matching case) tells the module to fall back to the mechanical rule; a non-empty result overrides it.

Add an entry here as soon as you notice a breadcrumb whose mechanical result doesn't correspond to an actual, correct page -- there's no automatic way to detect this, so it depends on you spotting it (the same as extending {{Resource category switch values}} when a new subject term turns up).

Format: each entry is |<raw breadcrumb>=<correct location string>. Leave the value blank (or omit the entry entirely) for breadcrumbs that should just use the mechanical rule.

Example (once London's mapping is decided):

|England, London=London, England
{{Locality subject location overrides|breadcrumb}}
