This template is used for referring to books by their Library of Congress Classification codes. For the external links to be formatted correctly, the LCC code must be presented without any spaces. For example:
Some LCC codes contain an obligatory space followed by a year designation. In that case, the year must be passed as a second parameter to the template. For example:
Someone, please make a template:LCCN for LC Control Number search [1]. I spend an hour and failed. It would be easy for an expredienced template maker. Thanks! -- Irpen 19:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Why does it require you to separate spaces with pipes? Why not just use urlencode?
Same exact URL, so you can just use:
[http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg={{urlencode:{{{1}}}}}&Search_Code=CALL_&CNT=5 {{{1}}}]
and get the same output:
Is this the only reason it uses the pipes? — Omegatron 20:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm sure someone would write a bot for it if asked. In the meantime, the template can be made to support both formats at the same time, and the documentation changed to recommend the non-piped version.

Using this template, what might be the rationale for specifying 'Z253.U69' or 'Z253.U69 1982' as the parameter value?
Does this mean 'Z253.U69' was first used for editions beginning in 1982? That was not the first Chicago Manual of Style; publisher U of Chicago Press evidently calls 1982 and 1993 its 13th and 14th editions. Why create a new classification for the 13th edition? For example, does the classification change with every change in title? every change except subtitle alone?
Alternatively, may we infer that no earlier edition is in the (online) catalog?
