 Done Catalog lookup templates

Notes to myself about fixing categories

[edit]
  •  Done Need a new subcategory under "Book templates" for catalog lookup templates
  •  Done Need a subcategory under "External link templates" for catalog lookup templates
  • Category:Internet Archive templates should be grouped with other catalog search templates
  1.  Done In Category:Internet Archive templates, replace Category:External link templates with Category:Catalog lookup templates
  2.  Done For every article in Category:Internet Archive templates, replace Category:External link templates with Category:Catalog lookup templates
Not a good idea. Each article already appears in Category:Catalog lookup templates via the subcategory Category:Internet Archive templates.
"Websites templates" is a stupid category, but it's not my problem to fix.
  •  Done The Discogs templates are not intricate.
  •  Done COBISS is not a Specific-source template.
  •  Done The Library of Congress templates are not attributions. Use a different U.S. government category.
  •  Done Category:International Standard Book Number is overused

Merger requests

[edit]

For the following sets of templates:

  1. Each template is simplistic
  2. Each template requires the same parameter
  3. The templates differ only in format of the output

I think the templates in each set should be consolidated into one template; I don't see the need for multiple templates. The template that should remain is bold red. Output format should be controlled by a new parameter in the remaining template.

I will gladly perform the "grunt" work involved (for example, changing every instance of a no-longer-used template with the consolidated template). I'm only asking

Set #1

Template:Doi (23 January 2015‎, 17187)
Template:Doi-inline (10 May 2015‎, 123)

Set #2

Template:ISSN (3 March 2014, 3499)
Template:ISSN search link (3 March 2014‎, 9547)

Set #3

Template:OCLC (12 November 2013, 6841)
Template:OCLC search link (8 November 2013‎, 5085)

Set #4  Discussion ongoing...

Template:UPC (4 May 2011, 94)
Template:UPC search link (4 May 2011, 3)

Set #5  Discussion ongoing...

Template:LCCN (1 April 2012‎, 905)
Template:LoC catalog record (10 August 2013, 21)

Set #6 no No action (Discussion finished with no consensus. Try again later. See archived discussion. Next time, begin with "Merge" proposal.)

Template:PMID (21 August 2014, 439)
Template:PMID2 (20 August 2014, 19)
Template:PMID3 (20 August 2014, 56)
  • Quite frankly, I think the functionality of this template should be eliminated. The colon is unnecessary and violates Wiki's rules for creating a magic link (see Help:Magic links#PMID)
