<br> Please change the plan. Users need to know if it is a book or a film or a pedigree, etc. Otherwise, only experienced users will know. It will only take a few more letters to accomplish this, if space is the problem. I echo David Dilts request. [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 00:38, 15 July 2011 (UTC) | |||

:::Definitely would be the editor as suspected. I am not so sure that it has ever been fixed. Out of curiosity, why do you put the template inside of the square brackets? The template creates the link. I am wondering if the square brackets is causing the editor to think that a pipe needs to encoded. Why not just do a <nowiki>{{FHL|974 D22g}}</nowiki> which generates {{FHL|974 D22g}}? Want to try it?

I see that the template allows for subject/title/keyword searches, but I don't see options for linking to places, last name, or author search. There are especially a lot of links out there to places. Is there a way to do that?

:I will be very happy to fix this, but would like to hear from the FHLC folks about any other changes that may have happened. They indicated that the links would not change. So much for that, but at least it is easy to change within a template. My testing indicates that that type of searching seems to be the only one affected.

== Additional place-search wildcard parameter request == | |||
Is it possible to create a version of this template that would return a list of all the places that start with ''Ontario, Peel*'' with the star representing a wildcard with an indefinite number of commas, spaces and characters following? For instance, the above would return a list like: | |||
:*Ontario, Peel - Church Records | |||
:*Ontario, Peel - Directories | |||
:*Ontario, Peel, Albion - Church Records | |||
:*Ontario, Peel, Albion - History | |||
:*Ontario, Peel, Bolton - Census - 1901 | |||
:*Ontario, Peel, Claude - Cemeteries | |||
