Tried first two methods, both failed miserably. They linked to template instead of the item in the OCLC.

:I would like to find out more about the region version of WorldCat. Is there a website that has the various regional WorldCats listed? What failed miserably? I do not understand your last two sentences. Maybe include examples, please. Some discussion started [[User talk:CottrellS#If_wpd.7Cxxxx_works.2C_why_not_oclc.7Cxxx.3F|here]].

:The reason your attempts to use {{tl|WorldCat}} failed. First you typed the name of the template with a lower case "c". Apart from the first letter, article and templates are case sensitive. Your second attempt used the {{tl|tlx}} template which is used in wikitext to help display the code to type when using a template. --[[User:CottrellS|Steve]] 16:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC) | :The reason your attempts to use {{tl|WorldCat}} failed.

:: I followed the instructions and they failed, both with and withouth t1. Both failed ones linked to template rather than the OCLC record. I did try 3rd and it failed. I see Steve got it right somehow. | ::I followed the instructions and they failed, both with and withouth t1. Both failed ones linked to template rather than the OCLC record.

:::DSammy, how about examples? The {{tl|tlx}} template would not be used when accessing templates, it is just used for displaying what a template looks like. All templates are case sensitive. The examples in the {{tl|WorldCat}} template were copied and pasted from what is displayed, so I do not know how they could have "failed" for you. Could you please provide examples?
