Note: Currently Ohio History Central is internally a fishbowl MediaWiki site, but the Wikipedia template (and formatter URL above) uses a number seemly unrelated to MediaWiki. The largest number is 3483, created on 24 April 2013. Probably the record number is obsolete and pages created later have no record number. We may want to store the page name instead.

I created that template when that site used a number to identify articles. They soon thereafter went to names for their articles, with re-directs from the old numbering system. Page name for current site is |formatter URL =http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/index.php?title=$1
Where $1 =Toledo_War
for the example #562 given above. That would be a better method than the obsolete numbering system. Roseohioresident (talk) 07:16, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- @GZWDer, Thierry Caro, Roseohioresident: given the issue mentioned above and the lack of activity for over 3 months, I've marked this as
Not done. If you want to revive, I'd recommend a completely new proposal following the id's suggested by Roseohioresident. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:44, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- @GZWDer, Thierry Caro, ArthurPSmith: probably best to wait revival until the template is re-written to reflect present format for page names. Roseohioresident (talk) 03:12, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
