:Retrieved from archive. Any comments on this? Grimes please explain what this identifier is for. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

::"The Hessian Biography offers biographical information about historical figures who were born or died in Hesse (within its current borders) or who have worked in Hesse and have appeared publicly, as part of the State Historical Information System Hesse (LAGIS)." LAGIS is run by the Hessian Ministry of Higher Education, Research and the Arts. Grimes2 (talk) 20:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Seems a bit localised and limited in scope for this template? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:33, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

::::It's nevertheless a powerful biographical resource with 16902 items. Grimes2 (talk) 09:41, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Please add:

Thank you! Максим Огородник (talk) 09:11, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:Seems to be of limited value to English readers/editors, but if this is something akin to a national library then I could be convinced — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:27, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:Would affect [https://w.wiki/DuQE 1375] articles. But personally, I don't think it adds anything new. Nobody (talk) 09:36, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Encode space

C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli–Bernstein) has a space in the {{Q|P5736}} identifier which is not rendering properly. I think we need to encode this as %20 for it to work — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:31, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

:Now working in the sandbox — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:46, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Scopus

I started an article about Stuart Stanton (surgeon). Having added a pro forma {{tl|authority control}}, I looked around for a way to link him and found his Scopus id. But I couldn't figure out how to add this to the template and so left it as a comment. I was pleased to see just now that {{u|Miraclepine}} has sorted this out and suppose they did so mainly on Wikidata. I didn't feel comfortable doing that so would be grateful to hear more about how this was done, please. Usually with other ids like VIAF, I add them to the template and then a bot or script moves the info to Wikidata. Is Scopus different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Davidson (talkcontribs)

:The template does not recognise any identifiers passed as parameters, everything comes from Wikidata. The best way to link a new article is to add it as a site link to the Wikidata item. You can also use the {{para|qid}} parameter to specify an item (but this will be ignored as soon as the article is linked) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:58, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
