:Thank you for commenting. The plan is to allow those at an absolute minimum. Do you have an example of CD-ROM? I know the microfiche have numbers just like the microfilm. I have requested an extension that will make some of this easier. I have wondered if a need exists for locality look-ups, showing summary vs. details, etc. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 14:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

::I just realized something else you said. You requested the type to be displayed (film, book, CD, etc.). According to consensus in the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Format for Citing and Linking to Works in FHLC, Worldcat (OCLC)|Manual of Style]] (as long as I understood it correctly), the media type would not be displayed. If you feel this should be revisited, may I suggest that you put it on a community meeting agenda? It may be worth discussing more. A discussion on what I was referring to with summary or details is more like the questions I posed in the Microfilm section below. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 18:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

[[User:Dsammy|Dsammy]] pointed out that some problem exists on [[Remich Commune, Luxembourg]] where you find the census in the FHLC, copy the film number (ie. 2398734), use this in {{tlx|FHL|2398734}} with this [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&columns=*,0,0&titleno=2398734&disp=2398734 result]. This link is not right. I found that I was testing some other thing and forgot to change it back. This uses title details which uses some other title number other the the film number. I should have been using (and am back there now) the Film Hit List similar to the Book Hit List where this same example produces this [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=filmhitlist&columns=*,0,0&filmno=2398734 result].

See [[FamilySearch Wiki:Guiding Principles]] and [[FamilySearch Wiki:Purpose and Appropriate Topics]] (specifically [[FamilySearch Wiki:Purpose and Appropriate Topics#Limited_Topics|Limited Topics]]). Maybe we need to have title numbers if they will be persistent??? [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas_Lerman]] 17:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Two examples were given of CD examples above. However, the URL uses a title number that is not anywhere on the page. How would someone find a CD or the title number? [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 19:27, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Is there a need to be able to display anything from the FHLC based upon any of the items listed in the above heading?
