Revisiting / reviving a previous suggestion for adding EIDR IDs to Authority Control
I would like to revisit and revive the previous request Item 37 from the archives to add EIDR to Authority Control. Now at 1.8m records, the EIDR registry is becoming the largest ISO DOI standard for commercially available film and television works, with significant non-commercial registrations with archives such as the Library of Congress, the British Film Institute, the Complete Index to World Film and many others. As a start, there are already 39141 EIDR IDs in Wikidata. Thank you. Wkreth (talk) 04:03, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Query
Why doesn't this template display the Wikidata id? Wikidata is a identifier database as much as any of the others are. Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
ELN discussions
Discussions relating to this guidance (i.e. which may ultimately alter it if consensus can be found) are currently going on at WP:ELN#Authority control. Please discuss there, not here. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:54, 29 May 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? --Palosirkka (talk) 09:32, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- This book?
- Pohl, Frederik (1975). Slave ship. New York: Ballantine Books. ISBN 0345245865. OCLC 9742212.
- Add the details to its wikidata item. d:Q3828875 using the "wikidata item" link at the left of the screen, d:Special:Diff/769328305. Add {{Authority control}} at the foot of the article, Special:Diff/865046366. And, nothing...
p.lccnLink in Module:Authority control tries to split the identifier, but this identifier is purely numeric so there's nothing to split, and it fails. The link works from the wikidata item, it looks like {{Authority control}} only works for items with an alphabetic start to their LCCN, not for books which don't.I'd be happy to be shown I'm wrong.- Pinging Tom.Reding who may be able to shine some light.

- My dumb mistake there. LCCN numbers for books are entered in d:Property:P1144 & for people in d:Property:P244. Only P244 items are picked up by the module. Cabayi (talk) 11:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the book Cabayi, thank you. --Palosirkka (talk) 13:13, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
