Template talk:Gutenberg author

message: For authors who wrote largely in Cyrillic languages (as well as many others), they may have more works on pge.rastko.net than on the U.S. Gutenberg site. There's now a template for them too. See Template:Gutenberg-europe author.

which generates
* Works by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić at Project Gutenberg Europe
If someone would like to write Project Gutenberg Europe, it'd be much appreciated; red links are ugly.
Note that PGE also mirrors all of the U.S. Gutenberg content. Only etexts with IDs above 100000 on pge.rastko.net are PGE-specific. Unless there's PGE-specific content, there's no compelling reason to have two links to identical material. Enjoy! grendel|khan 14:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  See also: new pge.rastko.net link. 

message: The template is backwards-compatible. but it now supports leaving out the name entirely.
Thus, on Theodor Hertzka, the code
:
produces
:Works by Theodor Hertzka at Project Gutenberg
Substitutions can still be used as before if the link doesn't generate properly. grendel|khan 09:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New simpler syntax. 

message: Would there be interest in creating a template that incorporates all three services (PG, IA, GB). Here is an example from Alfred Russel Wallace:
* 
*Works by Alfred Russel Wallace at Internet Archive
*Works by Alfred Russel Wallace at Google Books
Do we need separate author templates for each service, or a single template?

message: For example : Dick, Philip K., 1928-1982
each book and author now has a unique URL : 
:www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/<num>
:www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/<num>
a unified Gutenberg template should be possible, such as :

replies: text: I think this is badly needed e.g. Margaret_of_Navarre. For this author, Gutenberg's bibrec gives author id "Marguerite, Queen, consort of Henry II, King of Navarre, 1492-1549" [for example] Just try and get any author id that works. I have. There isn't any. But the author num of 32596 should work great! So: any hope of getting this unified Gutenberg template? Thanks! Cloudjpk (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Protocol-relative URL

message: *Request: Replace current code at Module:Gutenberg with latest revision at Module:Gutenberg/sandbox (diff)
*Changes: 
*#Minor edits to comments
*#Added conversion of "<space>" to "+" so users won't need to worry. For example currently it requires  and breaks if . This will fix.
*#Added new function p.Australia for Template:Gutenberg Australia. This template was created in 2005 and was rarely used due poor design + poor design of the PG Australia website. I've have created new documentation for the template so it works for both books and authors as a single template, and produces better output consistent with other similar templates. It is not backwards compat but I will manually update the 9 pages currently using it.

removing "www." as it is unnecessary. Սահակ/Sahak (talk) 14:15, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: removal of "www" is unnecessary, because the links work perfectly just as they are. "If it aint broke, don't 'fix' it!" It's okay to make trivial edits like this; however, it is better to make them along with at least one non-trivial edit.  P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 17:43, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
