Template:Worldcat id

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Works by or about Worldcat id in libraries (WorldCat catalog)

Add the template to the "other websites" section of the article to make a link to the Worldcat page related to the article. To use this template, first do a worldcat identities search. Enter the person's name (for example, Samuel Phillips.) This will often lead to a list of possible matches. Choose the right link (for example, "Phillips, Samuel 1752-1802") and click on it. This will lead to the page on worldcat. The id is the string after the last slash in the URL, for example, lccn-n85-221132. Now, fill in your template like this:

{{worldcat id|id=lccn-n85-221132}}
or
{{worldcat id|id=lccn-n85-221132|name=Samuel Philips, LL.D}}
to display a name other than the article name

If "Works by or about" does not make sense, then use a different worldcat template:

{{worldcat subject|name =Foo|id=lccn-n85-221132}} yields
Works about Foo in libraries (Worldcat catalog)
{{worldcat|description="The world's libraries have a strange definition of foo. Neverheless, you can research foo"|name =Foo|id=lccn-n85-221132}} yields
The world's libraries have a strange definition of foo. Neverheless, you can research foo in libraries. (Worldcat catalog)
