Template:WorldCat/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:WorldCat (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{WorldCat}} template. This template is used for formatting the text and links for WorldCat items generally used in source citations. Only one parameter is used and required, the WorldCat item number. When you search http://www.WorldCat.org/ for a title, you will find the OCLC number in details section of the edition. Alternatively, it may be shown in the URL immediately after the "oclc" text. Enter this number in the template as the first parameter.
