:If I recall correctly, different editions of a book or magazine would have a different ISBN. In any case, ''editions'' is not allowed in the URL for ISBN or ISSN. So, that is the intent of the template.

I have added a parameter named '''<tt>disp</tt>''' that can be used to control the link text, as is available for the {{tl|FHL}} template. This was done in response to an email request from [[User:McBrideLW|Lisa McBride]]. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 11:58, 2 September 2011 (UTC) | I have added a parameter named '''<tt>disp</tt>''' that can be used to control the link text, as is available for the {{tl|FHL}} template.

I have found this functionality very helpful. We have some users of the wiki who are not familiar with WorldCat. In this display I put the words "Other Libraries (WorldCat)" to indicate we are taking the user away from the FHL catalog and pointing them to other libraries who may also hold the same material. The phrase is short enough that I think it won't clutter up the wiki, but it will help newer users. | |||
