== Editing documentation ==
How does one go about editing the documentation for this Template/Module? Specifically, in the middle column of the List of identifiers table on [[Template:Authority control/doc#List of identifiers|Template:Authority control/doc]] there are redlinks which could be replaced with good links, such as a link to [[Auckland Art Gallery]] and several others. Thanks in advance.  [[User:UnitedStatesian|UnitedStatesian]] ([[User talk:UnitedStatesian|talk]]) 09:43, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

:That documentation is produced automatically. It is linked to {{Q|Q131744542}} but there is no Wikipedia article for this. Perhaps you could create a redirect at [[Auckland Art Gallery online collection]] to a suitable section of [[Auckland Art Gallery]], then it would work? &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:52, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

== UK Company IDs ==

For companies registered in the UK, we could usefully include {{Wikidata property link|P2622}} and, using the same ID, a link to the entry in ''[[The London Gazette|The Gazette]]''.

For [[Aardman Animations]], for example, these would link to [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02050843] and [https://www.thegazette.co.uk/company/02050843] respectively.

== Template-protected edit request on 20 August 2026 ==

Please add support for [[wikidata:Property:P6127|Letterboxd film ID]]. It will allow readers to access Letterboxd pages quickly. [[User:Nemoralis|Nemoralis]] ([[User talk:Nemoralis|talk]]) 22:24, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

add songs please mannnnnnnn sincere request:( [[Special:Contributions/&#126;2026-47847-34|&#126;2026-47847-34]] ([[User talk:&#126;2026-47847-34|talk]]) 16:31, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
:{{already done}} See the implementation of {{tl|authority control}} at {{section link|Hey Jude#External links}}. If the template is not displaying it is because the underlying [[:Wikidata:Wikidata:External identifiers|external identifiers]] do not exist on the Wikidata item. See [[:Wikidata:Wikidata:Wikidata for authority control|:Wikidata for authority control]].
:If there are external identifiers that can be used for authority control, see if they are listed as properties on the Wikidata item. If they are not there but you know that they exist, please add them. [[User:Peaceray|Peaceray]] ([[User talk:Peaceray|talk]]) 17:02, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
