Regional versions
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)
- I understand your query, but I have compared some of the results that are produced and found whether the summit sub-domain is used or not does not affect the main results returned. For example
- and
- Each pair return the same catalog item, the difference being that the summit link provides Get this item results for locations in Oregon or Washington. Not all users of the wiki will be researching Oregon or Washington from Oregon or Washington. --Steve 16:22, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Using the template
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)
