Suggest removing Šablona:Q from the template because it seems to be permanently down — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:44, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Agree, is probably superseded by NLA Trove people ID (P1315). Grimes2 15:39, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Šablona:Removed — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:44, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Base Léonore (P11152)

Could we add a link to Base Léonore, the official database of recipients of the Legion of Honour?

The numeric code stored in Šablona:Q would need to be added at the end of this url:

https://www.leonore.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/ui/notice/{id goes here}

Here's an example: https://www.leonore.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/ui/notice/222703 (from this person: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q80582 ).

Links to this database used to be included, but the Archives National redesigned their site in 2021 and broke all the incoming links. This new wikidata property was introduced to mend them again.

I've added it to the sandbox and here is an example — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:12, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Looks good! Chuntuk (talk) 11:56, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Okay. Will leave it a few days to see if anyone has any comments — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:32, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

• Support Useful addition. Grimes2 14:49, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

  Šablona:Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:20, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Link to authority control

We don't generally include links to internal Wikipedia pages in article space. From Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking, "Šablona:Green" However we are linking Help:Authority control in this template. Would it be better to link to Authority control instead, or alternatively remove the link? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:22, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Valid standpoint. Better is to link to Authority control. The hatnote of this article is Help:Authority control. Grimes2 16:23, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

I don't think the link should be removed or changed to Authority control. It's outside the article body, and the link provides relevant information to readers. This is similar to how the list of categories at the bottom of every page links to Help:Category. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 03:24, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Šablona:Withdrawn for now — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:47, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Help:Authority control to Wikipedia:Authority control (or the other way around)

Help:Authority control is a "reader-focused" help page, but the information that would be useful for readers can easily be explained in the lead of Wikipedia:Authority control. They should be merged to reduce redundancy and keep the information in one place. A recent village pump discussion is relevant. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 04:53, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Withdrawing this proposal given the response here. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 20:41, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I would have supported this. I've often wondered why we need two separate pages (three if you count Template:Authority control/doc) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:10, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
