: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'm not sure I understand what you mean by a locality look-up, summary, or details. I hope a user who clicks an FHLC number in the Wiki is taken to the the FHLC Title Details screen in most cases, and for long lists of film or fiche numbers to the FHLC Film Notes screen.

::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)

The problem with the first "Title details" and "Title film notes" is that the display name should be passed into it to get the title bar correct. This seems very odd that these work this way. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 18:42, 17 September 2009 (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?
