Any objections to harmonizing this template with others so that it reads "Bill Gates on C-SPAN" "Joe Smith on C-SPAN" instead of "Appearances on C-SPAN"? -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 20:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the template generate an HTTPS link instead of the current HTTP link. C-SPAN appears to support HTTPS; for example, http://www.c-span.org/person/?jonstewart
generates a
301 Moved Permanently redirect to https://www.c-span.org/person/?jonstewart
. In the template, please change http://www.c-span.org/person/
to https://www.c-span.org/person/
instead. Thanks. --

Can this template be updated to pull information from Wikidata's C-SPAN person ID property? Trivialist ( talk) 14:24, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
C-SPAN searches function better (i.e. find results more consistently) with insertion of a "+" between names rather than formatting them as a single word, along with an expanded URL such as the following:
Compare the results with those of the current:

The string IDs are breaking as noted above, but the numeric ID allows for consistent linking if the string changes example: ID 61258 is used in https://www.c-span.org/person/?61258/ColleenWakakoHanabusa which as noted in the "Broken link" discussion above for https://www.c-span.org/person/?colleenhanabusa found after using C-Span search ?searchtype=People&query=colleen+hanabusa. The numeric id is currently supported as it stands, but cleanup of existing uses of this template will be needed, warnings for entering a string rather than numeric, with finally moving only to numeric ids. This has been raised as an inconsistency with the Wikidata property and will help address a root cause of broken links using this template. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?

I would like to merge
Template:C-SPAN/sandbox with the current template; I have modified the {{{1}}}
regex to accomodate single-digit values and includeonly'd the uses of
Category:Pages using non-numeric C-SPAN identifiers and
Category:C-SPAN template failing to display so the template itself doesn't appear in them.

I'm suggesting adding Template:WikidataCheck to the template now that EN Wikipedia templates have been moved to numeric to add monitoring of value matches and divergence from the numeric values in Wikidata for the associate property. It adds three tracking categories. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? ( talk) 00:52, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
