Our Lady of Victory Church (Q1280925) | The VIAF ID is linking to the wrong item, it's for something in a completely different country. VIAF originally had a different (probably correct) ID but changed it for some reason. | ||||||
Manoel Theatre (Q576800) | The item has two IDs which should be merged. The BIBSYS ID linked from 289802221 is wrong. |
Pattern ^th\[((n|nb|nr|no|ns|sh|gf)([4-9][0-9]|00|20[0-2][0-9])[0-9]{6})$ will be automatically replaced to \1 and moved to Library of Congress authority ID (P244) property. Testing: TODO list |
