== DBA ID (P4992) ==

Could DBA ID (P4992) be added to the template? It links to the ''Nouveau Dictionnaire de Biographie Alsacienne'' for famous people connected with Alsace. The ID is simply appended to <code>https://www.alsace-histoire.org/netdba/</code> to make a URL. [[User:Chuntuk|Chuntuk]] ([[User talk:Chuntuk|talk]]) 11:03, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

{{Authority control/sandbox|qid=Q903471}} '''[[User:Grimes2|Grimes]][[User talk:Grimes2|2]]''' 15:21, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

:We have in the past rejected sub-national databases which only cover one particular region. There are 1749 uses of {{Q|P4992}} — Martin ([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]]) 16:10, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

== Goodreads author? ==

If we have Librarything for authors we might as well have Goodreads. It has a pretty alright and comprehensive catalog of authors. [[User:PARAKANYAA|PARAKANYAA]] ([[User talk:PARAKANYAA|talk]]) 01:02, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

:Goodreads generates different identifiers for each language an author's work is translated into. The Goodreads Librarian Manual dictates the standard Roman version should be used as the 'primary author' across all translations. Only that specific English-language identifier provides the single, unified match required for the Authority control. However, would it be easy to model that constraint? And would editors reliably use the preferred rank to maintain it? [[User:PKalnai|PKalnai]] ([[User talk:PKalnai|talk]]) 07:56, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

We need to stop with the idea that "if your website adds a unique identifier to subjects, it can be included in our Wkikipedia footer". It's an unreliable, commercial site, usually not worth adding to external links even, so why would we automatically include it in thousands of articles just because it has an "authority" ID? People who really need these can use Wikidata for it, or Goodreads directly of course. First one I checked, for [[Tom Lanoye]]: the bio is a copyvio of our one it seems, just rearranging and very slightly rewriting some sentences[https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/316188.Tom_Lanoye].

== Odd HTML anchor ==

I was looking to link to an authority control box, and found this HTML markup (from [[The Man Who Wouldn't Stand Up]]):
<syntaxhighlight lang="html"><div id="Authority_control_databases_frameless&#124;text-top&#124;10px&#124;alt=Edit_this_at_Wikidata&#124;link=https&#58;//www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7749994#identifiers&#124;class=noprint&#124;Edit_this_at_Wikidata539" style="font-size:114%;margin:0 4em"><a href="/wiki/Help:Authority_control" title="Help:Authority control">Authority control databases</a></syntaxhighlight>
Why the escaped markup as an HTML anchor? This seems like a bug. [[User:Daask|Daask]] ([[User talk:Daask|talk]]) 18:21, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

:That escaped markup seems like the output of [[Module:EditAtWikidata]] encoded/escaped twice:
:<pre>Authority_control_databases_frameless|text-top|10px|alt=Edit_this_at_Wikidata|link=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7749994#identifiers|class=noprint|Edit_this_at_Wikidata539</pre>
:The code currently at [[Module:Authority control#L-335]] appends an edit at Wikidata pencil icon to the "Authority control databases" navbox title. Unfortunately [[Module:Navbox#L-192]] uses that navbox title for the id value: <syntaxhighlight inline lang="lua">:attr('id', mw.uri.anchorEncode(args[cfg.arg.title]) .. args.argHash)</syntaxhighlight> Perhaps [[Module:Navbox]] needs an optional anchor parameter to use instead of the navbox title?
