The link to SELIBR seems not to work. See for instance Leonardo da Vinci. In Wikidata the link goes to this page, which is correct. In Wikipedia to this page, which seems not to exist. -- Dick Bos ( talk) 13:10, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

One of the links that Module:Authority control can generate is a BNF data link. For example, the article for The Beach Boys contains the BNF data link http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13901878h in the Authority control section. From testing a number of BNF data links, it appears that a BNF data link generates an HTTP 301 redirect to an HTTPS version of the URL which then generates an HTTP 303 redirect to another more detailed HTTPS URL. For example, http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13901878h generates a 301 redirect to https://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13901878h which generates a 303 redirect to https://data.bnf.fr/fr/13901878/the_beach_boys/.
From what has been said elsewhere, an HTTP 301 redirect indicates that a resource has been permanently moved to a new URL. If this redirect pattern applies to all BNF data URLs, it would seem useful to have
Module:Authority control generate a BNF data link of the form [https://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/'..id..' (data)]'..p.getCatForId( 'BNF' )
instead of the current form [http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/'..id..' (data)]'..p.getCatForId( 'BNF' )
, which would reduce the number of redirects and would also provide increased privacy and security for users. As of this writing, I have edited the sandbox for
Module:Authority control to implement this change, which may be of interest for purposes of testing. Thoughts? --

hi, in light of
Template_talk:IAAF_name#Problem_with_IDs_beginning_with_0 i think we need to change the IAAF ID from a number type to a string type and change the regex from matching ^[1-9]%d*$
to ^[0-9][0-9]*$
, because the leading zeros are signficiant in some athlete IDs. also, we need to change the formatter URL from
https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/athcode=
to
https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/_/
to work with these leading-zero athletes and to match wikidata, which already has the updated format url. i already made the documentation change, and i made the rest of the proposed changes in the sandbox here:

At Margaret Sanger, we have a valid NARA ID, coming from Wikidata, but the template displays a warning stating it is invalid. I think it's possible this template was designed back when NARA only had 8-digit NAIDs, and that is why it is causing this error. Can someone look into it?

Seeing as how there's a significant amount of National Library of Israel identifiers ( P949), I thought it might be beneficial to add the following.

When Category:AC with 14 elements (0) was created in April 2014, there were ~34 available IDs (counting the 2 WorldCat variants), now it has ~5000. Now that there are ~70 available IDs, the 14 threshold is much easier to cross. There are 15,700+ pages with 14+, or 1.6+% of all transclusions. If we exclude, say, counts 14–17, there are only ~3300 pages with 18+, or ~0.3% of all transclusions. Does anyone else think some of the lower # ones should be retired?

The taxonbar template has a "from" (and a "from2") parameter which specifies the wikidata item even when wikidata and enwiki items are not linked. This is extremely useful when one is building an article which has not yet been published (and linked), since it allows the editor to see all the authority control (taxonbar) ids, many of which have extremely useful information for the article builder. I was hoping that this facility might be made available in the template {{authority control}} just like {{Taxonbar|from=Q17241254}}, since some of the authority control IDs provide short informative bios) MargaretRDonald ( talk) 22:56, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
|from=
is useful in taxonomy b/c there are much more discrete associations with taxa than there are with AC pages. It serves an additional purpose of tracking Wikidata's association with certain Wikipedia taxa, which tend to jump around a lot, and it is useful to have an 'in-house' history of that association. AC pages don't have the same problem.|from1=

@ Tom.Reding: Please can it be qid not QID and not from? {{ convert}} uses qid for this procedure and I believe some others do as well although I would need some time to find them. Consistency between templates would be very desirable and very few parameters use uppercase. Johnuniq ( talk) 05:22, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
|qid=
is now the preferred parameter, but I kept |QID=
for backwards compatibility. |QID=
was used originally b/c all other {{
Authority control}} params have their acronym capitalized, so it would be very self-inconsistent to use |qid=
. However, external consistency is also important, and since |QID=
was never formally documented, I don't have an issue with |qid=
being used exclusively in the documentation, and |QID=
silently allowed.|from=
convention to |qid=
can/will be a bigger deal, but I can see the merits. ~

I'm seeing this large notice in red on all kinds of Authority Control templates now. Also "The BNC id XXXXXXXXXX is not valid". Sample: [2]. Could someone please fix this? Softlavender ( talk) 08:36, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Not sure why y'all are talking about "NLP". I'm talking about NLR, and there are currently nearly 700 Authority Controal templates with NLR not valid message [3]. -- Softlavender ( talk) 10:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
@ Softlavender and Tom.Reding: I edited Module:Authority control to comment out some of the recently added IDs: BNC (86 errors) + NLP (2574 errors) + NLR (730 errors) + RERO (246 errors). The tracking categories are BNC + NLP + NLR + RERO and they should gradually empty over the next couple of weeks as articles are purged. As mentioned, I checked a couple of the links showing an error and they really were errors. That is, the ID at Wikidata is wrong. It would take a very large effort to correct all those problems and until that's done I don't think the IDs should be activated. Johnuniq ( talk) 02:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
A better way to handle this is to find who added the majority of each of these 4 IDs to Wikidata and ask them about/to check for any inconsistencies:

Using "NLA-person" seems awkward, since it is also used to identify corporate entities. See the authority control template on Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Netherlands), for example. Thus I want to suggest changing it to simply Trove, which is in any case a lot more accurate.

Hey, apologies for using edit request again, but I feel it's actually due in this case. Biografisch Portaal van Nederland ID (P651)'s regex requires a correction, as it currently marks ids for two subjects as incorrect: Jacob Dircksz de Graeff ( Q1621309) and Gerard Arnout Hasselaer ( Q5549913). The ids do actually link to valid catalog records.
--P651's format regex: \d{6,8} (e.g. 12345678)
if not id:match( '^%d%d%d%d%d%d%d?%d?$' ) then
Jay D. Easy ( t • c) 18:16, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
\d{8}
, and the other \d{6,8}
. There's also a
Wikidata property example (P1855) there using a 6 digit ID. While I'd rather hold editors to the proper/higher standard than to adjust regex for user input errors, it's relatively easy to lose leading zeros, and the website does allow it, but %d?%d?
is the simplest, but not necessarily the best, fix. This situation is slightly different from a \d{6,8}
constraint where leading zeros aren't allowed, so I'll make it a stricter fix. ~

We should probably add support for
WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) (P7859) now that it has been added to Wikidata. However, we probably still want to retain the current VIAF and LCCN fallbacks so that support needs to be added in a different way than other authority control properties from Wikidata. To that end and with as much simplicity as possible, please find my proposed solution at
Special:Diff/930536663/937302044. I have not tested this but I believe this will allow the code at --WorldCat
to continue to function properly because parentArgs'WORLDCATID'
will get overridden by Wikidata at --Wikidata fallback if requested
without later impact from --Configured rows
.
We will also probably want to revert Special:Diff/917353006/prev in Template:Authority control (currently the change at the top of its history). The change originated with Template talk:Authority control/Archive 9#Add WORLDCATID to known parameters and Special:Diff/915404056/prev.
Jay D.

What about the other change in the sandbox, namely UKPARL? My knowledge of css is pathetic but isn't important a rather extreme approach? Could this be run past the people at WP:VPT for confirmation of its desirability? Do the tests at Template:Authority control/testcases show the result is ok? If all you want from an admin is template protection of Module:Authority control/styles.css please say so and I can do that although I'm going to sign off shortly. A final query, why does {{ admin help}} center (or is it indent?) this comment? Johnuniq ( talk) 09:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
!important
is a quite aggressive thing, but MobileFrontend is even more aggressive, so I thought it’s needed to display this thing on mobile. I was wrong, even this doesn’t help… The other one is overriding inline CSS applied by
Module:Navbox; !important
is the only way to override inline CSS. Ideally Module:Navbox wouldn’t add it inline in the first place, but it would rather use TemplateStyles as well, so more specific selectors would be able to override it without !important
. However, that requires changing Module:Navbox, and I’m not confident I could do that without breaking half of the English Wikipedia, so I wanted to stay on the safe side. Yes, all I need specifically from an admin is (template) protecting the TemplateStyles page, although it may be better have it unprotected until someone actually completes the request, in case further modifications are needed. Final query: the template is not intended to be used in indented comment (I think the recent Tidy→RemexHtml parser switch broke it, but it has never been designed for a such use case). —

From what it appears, the existing link that is generated for the AAG (Auckland Art Gallery) artist page generates an HTTP 301 redirect to an HTTPS version of the URL. (My understanding is that a 301 redirect is used to indicate that a resource has permanently moved to a new URL.) From what I remember, I noticed this behavior with the example URL in the Wikidata entry for the Auckland Art Gallery artist ID. To test the behavior, from what I remember, I probably did an external links search for the URL pattern http://www.aucklandartgallery.com/explore-art-and-ideas/artist/. From these search results, I used AAG links from the pages for Édouard Manet, Andy Warhol, Olivia Spencer Bower, and Gordon Crook as additional testcases. (The online tool at https://httpstatus.io is useful for determining if a URL generates any redirects.) I also adjusted the sandbox for Module:Authority control to contain the same contents as the actual module. Subsequently, I adjusted the module sandbox to use HTTPS for the AAG link. For the artist pages mentioned previously, what I would do was to edit the page and adjust the page to use the Authority control sandbox instead of the actual Authority control template, and then I would preview the page with the changes, but without actually saving the changes. By doing this, I was able to get an idea of what would happen if the page used Authority control logic that generated an HTTPS AAG URL.
At the current time, I have template editor privileges. Even so, in this case, I thought I would mention the proposed change here. Also, there was the thought as to whether the process that I mentioned for looking into whether a URL redirects to HTTPS might be of interest to others. -- Elegie ( talk) 09:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao is adding this template to thousands of articles on localities (villages and so on). In many cases it has no result, but where it does appear, it often shows Worldcat. The problem is that in most cases, this only leads to a "404: Document not found" page, e.g. from Croeserw or Coaltown of Balgonie or Abergynolwyn, but also in other countries: Arnèke, Boeschepe, Sainghin-en-Weppes (all France), or Hillsboro, Loudoun County, Virginia and Middleburg, Virginia (both US).
Can this somehow be prevented? Either a separate template for localities, or a check that it doesn't return a 404, or...? Or perhaps this needs to be taken up with VIAF, if the error is on their side? Fram ( talk) 09:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

One of the links that Module:Authority control can generate is a BNF data link. For example, the article for The Beach Boys contains the BNF data link http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13901878h in the Authority control section. From testing a number of BNF data links, it appears that a BNF data link generates an HTTP 301 redirect to an HTTPS version of the URL which then generates an HTTP 303 redirect to another more detailed HTTPS URL. For example, http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13901878h generates a 301 redirect to https://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb13901878h which generates a 303 redirect to https://data.bnf.fr/fr/13901878/the_beach_boys/.
From what has been said elsewhere, an HTTP 301 redirect indicates that a resource has been permanently moved to a new URL. If this redirect pattern applies to all BNF data URLs, it would seem useful to have
Module:Authority control generate a BNF data link of the form [https://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/'..id..' (data)]'..p.getCatForId( 'BNF' )
instead of the current form [http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/'..id..' (data)]'..p.getCatForId( 'BNF' )
, which would reduce the number of redirects and would also provide increased privacy and security for users. As of this writing, I have edited the sandbox for
Module:Authority control to implement this change, which may be of interest for purposes of testing. Thoughts? --

hi, in light of

At Margaret Sanger, we have a valid NARA ID, coming from Wikidata, but the template displays a warning stating it is invalid. I think it's possible this template was designed back when NARA only had 8-digit NAIDs, and that is why it is causing this error. Can someone look into it?

When Category:AC with 14 elements (0) was created in April 2014, there were ~34 available IDs (counting the 2 WorldCat variants), now it has ~5000. Now that there are ~70 available IDs, the 14 threshold is much easier to cross. There are 15,700+ pages with 14+, or 1.6+% of all transclusions. If we exclude, say, counts 14–17, there are only ~3300 pages with 18+, or ~0.3% of all transclusions. Does anyone else think some of the lower # ones should be retired?

The taxonbar template has a "from" (and a "from2") parameter which specifies the wikidata item even when wikidata and enwiki items are not linked. This is extremely useful when one is building an article which has not yet been published (and linked), since it allows the editor to see all the authority control (taxonbar) ids, many of which have extremely useful information for the article builder. I was hoping that this facility might be made available in the template {{authority control}} just like {{Taxonbar|from=Q17241254}}, since some of the authority control IDs provide short informative bios) MargaretRDonald ( talk) 22:56, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
|from=
is useful in taxonomy b/c there are much more discrete associations with taxa than there are with AC pages. It serves an additional purpose of tracking Wikidata's association with certain Wikipedia taxa, which tend to jump around a lot, and it is useful to have an 'in-house' history of that association. AC pages don't have the same problem.|from1=

@ Tom.Reding: Please can it be qid not QID and not from? {{ convert}} uses qid for this procedure and I believe some others do as well although I would need some time to find them. Consistency between templates would be very desirable and very few parameters use uppercase. Johnuniq ( talk) 05:22, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
|qid=
is now the preferred parameter, but I kept |QID=
for backwards compatibility. |QID=
was used originally b/c all other {{
Authority control}} params have their acronym capitalized, so it would be very self-inconsistent to use |qid=
. However, external consistency is also important, and since |QID=
was never formally documented, I don't have an issue with |qid=
being used exclusively in the documentation, and |QID=
silently allowed.|from=
convention to |qid=
can/will be a bigger deal, but I can see the merits. ~

@ Softlavender and Tom.Reding: I edited Module:Authority control to comment out some of the recently added IDs: BNC (86 errors) + NLP (2574 errors) + NLR (730 errors) + RERO (246 errors). The tracking categories are BNC + NLP + NLR + RERO and they should gradually empty over the next couple of weeks as articles are purged. As mentioned, I checked a couple of the links showing an error and they really were errors. That is, the ID at Wikidata is wrong. It would take a very large effort to correct all those problems and until that's done I don't think the IDs should be activated. Johnuniq ( talk) 02:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey, apologies for using edit request again, but I feel it's actually due in this case. Biografisch Portaal van Nederland ID (P651)'s regex requires a correction, as it currently marks ids for two subjects as incorrect: Jacob Dircksz de Graeff ( Q1621309) and Gerard Arnout Hasselaer ( Q5549913). The ids do actually link to valid catalog records.
--P651's format regex: \d{6,8} (e.g. 12345678)

\d{8}
, and the other \d{6,8}
. There's also a
Wikidata property example (P1855) there using a 6 digit ID. While I'd rather hold editors to the proper/higher standard than to adjust regex for user input errors, it's relatively easy to lose leading zeros, and the website does allow it, but %d?%d?
is the simplest, but not necessarily the best, fix. This situation is slightly different from a \d{6,8}
constraint where leading zeros aren't allowed, so I'll make it a stricter fix. ~

National Library Board ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6974124) - The National Library Board Singapore ID l26-DGZwOIE only exists in Wikidata, but not found in the authority control of the English Wikipedia article National Library Board ( /info/en/?search=National_Library_Board). Is there a way to expose the Wikidata identifier in Wikipedia? Do we need to add the National Library Board Singapore ID in Module:Authority control ( /info/en/?search=Module:Authority_control)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlbkos ( talk • contribs) 09:17, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

We should probably add support for
WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) (P7859) now that it has been added to Wikidata. However, we probably still want to retain the current VIAF and LCCN fallbacks so that support needs to be added in a different way than other authority control properties from Wikidata. To that end and with as much simplicity as possible, please find my proposed solution at
Special:Diff/930536663/937302044. I have not tested this but I believe this will allow the code at --WorldCat
to continue to function properly because parentArgs'WORLDCATID'
will get overridden by Wikidata at --Wikidata fallback if requested
without later impact from --Configured rows
.
We will also probably want to revert Special:Diff/917353006/prev in Template:Authority control (currently the change at the top of its history). The change originated with Template talk:Authority control/Archive 9#Add WORLDCATID to known parameters and Special:Diff/915404056/prev.
Jay D. Easy also seems to have added support for National Library of Greece ID (P3348) to Module:Authority control/sandbox with Special:Diff/931861693/prev which I rebased with current changes in Special:Diff/937304256/prev if you want to just pull the current sandbox over entirely. See #National Library of Greece (P3348).
Thank you. — Uzume ( talk) 04:51, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
There is an article for a pair of authors (married), Alice and Claude Askew who co-authored about 90 books. There is no AC entry for "Alice and Claude Askew" but there are entries for Alice Askew and Claude Askew. Is there a way to direct AC to point to one or both of the authors?

|QID=
is restricted from main article space. That restriction would either have to be lifted or the module would have to be altered to support chasing
has part(s) (P527) (or some other means of specifying sub-Wikidata items). —

{{editprotected|Module:Authority control|Module:Authority control/styles.css}} Please apply this change from the sandbox, which introduces TemplateStyles to achieve a more responsive layout (the blue-backgrounded “Authority control” text gets above the identifiers on narrow screens from its current position next to them; there’s no change on wider screens). Please protect the TemplateStyles subpage before applying the patch. (Note that the module is only template editor protected and not fully protected, but I used the fully protected edit request because of the need for page protection and thus for an admin.)

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
What about the other change in the sandbox, namely UKPARL? My knowledge of css is pathetic but isn't important a rather extreme approach? Could this be run past the people at WP:VPT for confirmation of its desirability? Do the tests at Template:Authority control/testcases show the result is ok? If all you want from an admin is template protection of Module:Authority control/styles.css please say so and I can do that although I'm going to sign off shortly. A final query, why does {{ admin help}} center (or is it indent?) this comment? Johnuniq ( talk) 09:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
!important
is a quite aggressive thing, but MobileFrontend is even more aggressive, so I thought it’s needed to display this thing on mobile. I was wrong, even this doesn’t help… The other one is overriding inline CSS applied by
Module:Navbox; !important
is the only way to override inline CSS. Ideally Module:Navbox wouldn’t add it inline in the first place, but it would rather use TemplateStyles as well, so more specific selectors would be able to override it without !important
. However, that requires changing Module:Navbox, and I’m not confident I could do that without breaking half of the English Wikipedia, so I wanted to stay on the safe side. Yes, all I need specifically from an admin is (template) protecting the TemplateStyles page, although it may be better have it unprotected until someone actually completes the request, in case further modifications are needed. Final query: the template is not intended to be used in indented comment (I think the recent Tidy→RemexHtml parser switch broke it, but it has never been designed for a such use case). —

I give up, hate such bureaucratism. The code is there; if anyone wants to act on it instead of just speaking about it, there you go. In the meantime I’ll try to avoid reading English Wikipedia articles on small screens to keep the ugly horizontal scrollbars away. — Tacsipacsi ( talk) 13:08, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Please make pencil lead to Identifiers section on Wikidata page because those data are authority control and not beginning of the Wikidata item page. I think it is not needed to reach consensus for this because proposal is not controversial nor major (only willing "tehcnician" with proper user rights is required). -- Obsuser ( talk) 22:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
From what it appears, the existing link that is generated for the AAG (Auckland Art Gallery) artist page generates an HTTP 301 redirect to an HTTPS version of the URL. (My understanding is that a 301 redirect is used to indicate that a resource has permanently moved to a new URL.) From what I remember, I noticed this behavior with the example URL in the Wikidata entry for the Auckland Art Gallery artist ID. To test the behavior, from what I remember, I probably did an external links search for the URL pattern http://www.aucklandartgallery.com/explore-art-and-ideas/artist/. From these search results, I used AAG links from the pages for Édouard Manet, Andy Warhol, Olivia Spencer Bower, and Gordon Crook as additional testcases. (The online tool at https://httpstatus.io is useful for determining if a URL generates any redirects.) I also adjusted the sandbox for Module:Authority control to contain the same contents as the actual module. Subsequently, I adjusted the module sandbox to use HTTPS for the AAG link. For the artist pages mentioned previously, what I would do was to edit the page and adjust the page to use the Authority control sandbox instead of the actual Authority control template, and then I would preview the page with the changes, but without actually saving the changes. By doing this, I was able to get an idea of what would happen if the page used Authority control logic that generated an HTTPS AAG URL.
At the current time, I have template editor privileges. Even so, in this case, I thought I would mention the proposed change here. Also, there was the thought as to whether the process that I mentioned for looking into whether a URL redirects to HTTPS might be of interest to others. -- Elegie ( talk) 09:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao is adding this template to thousands of articles on localities (villages and so on). In many cases it has no result, but where it does appear, it often shows Worldcat. The problem is that in most cases, this only leads to a "404: Document not found" page, e.g. from Croeserw or Coaltown of Balgonie or Abergynolwyn, but also in other countries: Arnèke, Boeschepe, Sainghin-en-Weppes (all France), or Hillsboro, Loudoun County, Virginia and Middleburg, Virginia (both US).
Can this somehow be prevented? Either a separate template for localities, or a check that it doesn't return a 404, or...? Or perhaps this needs to be taken up with VIAF, if the error is on their side? Fram ( talk) 09:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi @ Tom.Reding
Thanks for the pings, but I am disappointed to see that you reverted my switch to {{ CatAutoTOC}} without discussion [6] [7].
There are a number of reasons why I think it's much better to use {{ CatAutoTOC}}:
So please can we reinstate {{ CatAutoTOC}}? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 17:57, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
