When the template is used to display ''Who Was Who'', it links to ''Who's Who''. Would it be possible to make it link to ''[[Who Was Who]]? I know this is a redirect, but it does take readers to the relevant section of the article. [[User:DuncanHill|DuncanHill]] ([[User talk:DuncanHill|talk]]) 15:35, 21 June 2019 (UTC) |

Subscription only?
Great new template! I'm fairly incompetent at template syntax, but have made a slight tweak. Should it have a subscription only note, as Template:ODNBweb has? Dsp13 (talk) 02:01, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers. I suppose it should. Same would go for Template:Crockford DBD 18:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Website overhaul, December 2017
Hasn't broken this templates links (they redirect), but we could choose to implement either their new urls e.g. https://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-282438 or DOI links e.g. https://doi.org/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.282438 DBD 18:04, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hello @DBD: I've added digital object identifiers as a parameter to this template, although sadly, many of these new DOIs appear to be broken. While your example above (doi:10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.282438) works, many do not. As of 13 December 2017 for example, Keith Bevens entry at:
- http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-289275 uses a broken doi:10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.289275
- I've notified CrossRef of a handful of these via http://www.crossref.org/DOIComplaint, but there appear to be many more.
- Thankfully though, the http://www.ukwhoswho.com site does show a preview of the articles for users that "do not currently have access to this article" which makes some Wikipedia:Verifiability possible for users outside the paywall

Italics
I have made this change to put Who's Who and Who Was Who into italics, as is normal for book titles. It seems to work, but if I have upset any applecarts inadvertently then please do feel free to undo (and explain so I can avoid making the same mistake again).

Who Was Who link
When the template is used to display Who Was Who, it links to Who's Who. Would it be possible to make it link to Who Was Who? I know this is a redirect, but it does take readers to the relevant section of the article. DuncanHill (talk) 15:35, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
