 | This is the template test cases page for the sandbox of Template:OL author. to update the examples. If there are many examples of a complicated template, later ones may break due to limits in MediaWiki; see the HTML comment "NewPP limit report" in the rendered page. You can also use Special:ExpandTemplates to examine the results of template uses. You can test how this page looks in the different skins and parsers with these links: |
These test cases are intended to prove that by tweaking the template, it can be made to accept Open Library identifiers with or without the 'OL' prefix. Because Citation Style 1 citations and {{OL}} don't support the 'OL' prefix, changing this template (and {{OL book}} and {{OL work}}) to use the identifier both with and without the 'OL' prefix will allow for a transition during which a robot might convert all existing transclusions of these templates to be 'OL'-less. Doing this will make the 'how' of using OL identifiers consistent across en.wikipedia.
