Template:Worldcat
Per Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Template:Worldcat subject this template has become non functional with changes at Worldcat. However there are suggestions it could be re-purposed to point to an url relating to Worldcat Entities, broadly leveraging with d:p:P10832 and talking WorldCat Entities ID as a parameter or being scoped from Wikidata. The details from that are best not discussed here but at Template talk:Worldcat. If the new Worldcat can be got working it could replace Worldcat id where that is used on 90+ articles. The new version of Worldcat could be created by outselves or (hopefully) copied from the English Wikipedia. However there may be alternative to use Authority control. Basically this is a case of hanging fire until the way forward becomes clearer. — DeirgeDeltac 23:23, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

 * comment: Per Wikiquote:Village pump it (at the moment) look like @ will be hoping to import a fresh version of Authority control and hopefully that will make the need for this template redundant and good for deletion. But I'd prefer to wait until that is stood up and demonstrated to replace Worldcat id before proceeding with the deletion here in case its then prudent to take the alternate route. thankyou. -- DeirgeDeltac 10:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: unused, and a new concept is needed. Kolja21 (talk) 14:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: As P10832 population has occurred and authority control is a better option this template may be deleted. -- DeirgeDeltac 01:05, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
