This template was created to provide a simple way to maintain the link and text shown in the "further reading" section of all
Kansas county articles, all Kansas county seats articles, and various city articles:
It allows books to be maintained at one location.
It links to a common book list, instead of repeating Kansas books in every county article.
It allows a central location to change text that is shown in all articles which use this template.
It allows a central location to easily change the link to the book list, in case:
the section name is renamed in the "
Kansas" article. Currently this template links to "
Kansas#Bibliography".
the list of books are moved to a new article at some point in the future.
