 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Authority control. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on 2,120,000+ pages, or roughly 3% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
See Wikipedia:Authority control for more information on the background of the authority control system used on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
Description
This metadata template links Wikipedia articles to various library catalogue systems (see authority control). At the moment, it is used almost exclusively in biographical articles.
The supported authority files include:
- Universal Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei or GND)
- Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN)
- Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)
- LIBRIS by the National Library of Sweden (SELIBR)
- Outdated: Name Authority File (Personennamendatei or PND), now part of GND
- Outdated: Corporate Bodies Authority File (Gemeinsame Körperschaftsdatei or GKD), now part of GND
- Outdated: Subject Headings Authority File (Schlagwortnormdatei or SWD), now part of GND
Where possible, the template also generates a link to WorldCat Identities, using the LCCN variable. (It will shortly be possible to link using VIAF values - this is being tested by OCLC and will be activated in the template as soon as it goes live.)
Usage
{{Authority control |VIAF=xxxxxx |LCCN=n/xx/xxxxxx |GND=xxxxxx |SELIBR=xxxxxx |PND=xxxxxx |GKD=xxxxxx |SWD=xxxxxx }}
The following data sources are accepted:
| Parameter name | Scope | Name | Search | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIAF | People | Virtual International Authority File | International authority data from the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) | |
| GND | All | Universal Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei) | [1] [2] | Authority data on people, corporations and subjects from the German National Library |
| LCCN | People | Library of Congress Control Number | See Wikipedia:Authority control#LCCN for formatting instructions | |
| SELIBR | People | LIBRIS | Authority data from the National Library of Sweden | |
| PND | People | Personennamendatei (now part of GND) | Authority data on persons from the German National Library (deprecated, please use GND) | |
| GKD | Corporations | Gemeinsame Körperschaftsdatei (now part of GND) | Authority data on corporations from the German National Library (deprecated, please use GND) | |
| SWD | Subjects | Schlagwortnormdatei (now part of GND) | Authority data on subjects from the German National Library (deprecated, please use GND) |
The template also accepts the obsolete variable "GKD-V1", retained for legacy purposes. GKD, GKD-V1, PND and SWD will all categorise the article into a hidden tracking category for maintenance.
Example
{{Authority control|GND=119408643|LCCN=n/79/113947|VIAF=59263727}} (for Alexander Graham Bell) produces
| International | |
|---|---|
| National | |
| Warning | Local parameters are deprecated. |
Microformat
The template wraps each UID with <span class="uid">...</span>, which enables the first-found value to be included in an hCard microformat. For that reason, VIAF, where present, is given first.
