Why doesn't this template display the Wikidata id? Wikidata is a identifier database as much as any of the others are. ] (]) 16:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

== LCCN formatting ==

I have a 1957 book here with "Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 56-13477". How should this be mangled to fit the template? --] (]) 09:32, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

== authority contol line "magically" appears on existing articles ==

Greetings, While updating articles I have noticed some articles with existing ''<nowiki>{{authority control}}</nowiki>'' line & a blank line above. When I add "Subject bar" line, the authority control line now shows. This is not a big issue, but just curious why this happens? For example: ] article. Why auth.control lines do not display when there is existing a.c. content? Regards, ] (]) 15:17, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

== "The NLR id XXXXXXXXX is not valid" ==

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: . Could someone please fix this? ] (]) 08:40, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
