Template:OCLC link/doc

Description

This template generates various types of links to the WorldCat web site. Its purpose is similar to Template:OCLC at Wikipedia.

Usage

In its simplest form the template takes just an OCLC number:

Code:

{{OCLC link|22239204}}

Result:
OCLC:22239204 at WorldCat

Both the link uri and the link name can be overridden with parameters:

Code:

{{OCLC link|uri=http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=su:Radio+Amateurs'+manuals.&qt=hot_subject|linkname=Subject: Radio Amateurs' manuals}}

Result:
Subject: Radio Amateurs' manuals at WorldCat

If you would like to simply make a link without the description you can add "inline=true", which will also work with the other parameters described below.

Code:

{{OCLC link|22239204|73 amateur radio today|inline=true}}

Result:
73 amateur radio today
