Regional versions[edit source]
This template is fine but it doesn't work with regional WorldCat/OCLC such as Summit.worldcat.org
Books, etc listed in Summit more often than not are not listed in general WorldCat/OCLC.
Wallowa County, Oregon shows a lot of records not in the standard one but limited and found only in the Summit. dsammy 05:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Using the template[edit source]
Tried first two methods, both failed miserably. They linked to template instead of the item in the OCLC. dsammy 07:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- 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 here. Thomas Lerman 14:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- The reason your attempts to use {{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 {{tlx}} template which is used in wikitext to help display the code to type when using a template. --Steve 16:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
