GND format

Just noting here that the GND format seems to have changed . This will probably need updating here, as John Christian Frederick Heyer is currently throwing an error — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:00, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

New NSK ID

Please replace

{
	property = 1375,
	section = 2,
	pattern = '%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d',
	link = 'http://katalog.nsk.hr/F/?func=direct&doc_number=$1&local_base=nsk10',
	label = 'Croatia',
}

with

{
	property = 14225,
	section = 2,
	pattern = '98%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d9366',
	link = 'https://bukinet-mreza.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/authfulldisplay?&context=L&vid=385BUKINET_NETWORK:VU1_UNION&lang=en&docid=$1',
	label = 'Croatia',
}

The old IDs no longer work. See d:Property:P14225 (old: d:Property:P1375). Ponor (talk) 04:25, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Added to sandbox. Comparison below — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:48, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Do you know if all/most of the new property has been populated? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:49, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I'd say yes - d:Wikidata:Property proposal/NSK new ID (and even if it hasn't, the old links take us nowhere). Kindly asking @Epìdosis to tell us more. Ponor (talk) 11:04, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes P14225 is populated, all the conversions have been provided by NSK and I have also been able to fix some mistakes in them. Epìdosis 14:16, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Okay that's  Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:08, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Adding Quebec & Canada GEO IDs

Hello. I was wondering if it might be possible to please add P2100 & P821 to the authority control template? These are related to places. For example, the French version of fr:Parc Jacques-Cartier (Sherbrooke) lists these at the bottom of the page but not the version here: Jacques-Cartier Park (Sherbrooke). Thank you --TitCrisse (t•c) 01:07, 7 June 2026 (UTC).

Editing documentation

How does one go about editing the documentation for this Template/Module? Specifically, in the middle column of the List of identifiers table on Template:Authority control/doc there are redlinks which could be replaced with good links, such as a link to Auckland Art Gallery and several others. Thanks in advance. UnitedStatesian (talk) 09:43, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

That documentation is produced automatically. It is linked to Auckland Art Gallery online collection (Q131744542) but there is no Wikipedia article for this. Perhaps you could create a redirect at Auckland Art Gallery online collection to a suitable section of Auckland Art Gallery, then it would work? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:52, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
