: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.

After the meeting today, I've spent awhile studying and using the WorldCat template. As you suspected, Thomas, I DO like it. Since I am creating many pages that are similar, with similar bibliographies, I use a lot of cut and paste. But I can see that when a unique page is created with a unique bibliography, the template would save time and be less likely to have typos in it, assuming I get the number right! Are you looking for mare specific input? What would you like to know from me? [[User:Jbparker|Jbparker]] 23:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC) | |||

Currently unless {{{2}}} is either given as ''isbn'' or ''issn'' the word ''editions'' is added to the output URL. Is this the intended outcome? From the links given in the notes section, I assume not, but maybe they've not been updated. --[[User:CottrellS|Steve]] 18:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC) | Currently unless {{{2}}} is either given as ''isbn'' or ''issn'' the word ''editions'' is added to the output URL.
