Hi! http://test.wikipedia.org/?curid=39176# is a page at test.WP about [[Baldur Ragnarsson]] This author has many authority control numbers which are not combined yet. The page was a study about the expansion of the [[template:Authority control]] <nowiki>{{Normdaten/debug|TESTCASE=1|PND=131538349|LCCN=n/92/48367|VIAF=1664407|TSURL=VIAF| VIAF2=45437269|VIAF3=7358059|TIMESTAMP=20111008020149|LT-AUTHOR=ragnarssonbaldur| NOTES=VIAF additional(s)}}</nowiki> This template and its clones where to complicated and never supported by the toolserver and boots. As soon as all changes from autumn last year WP pages are collected and the new syntax using "::Main.VIAF:value::Included.VIAF:valueList::Additional.VIAF:valueList::", "::Main.GND:value::Included.GND:valueList::Additional.GND:valueList::" etc. is finished the regex expressions detecting VIAF1, VIAF2 to VIAF9, PND1, PND2 to PND9, GND1, GND2 to GND9 can be simplified. In the future the values are separated by "delimitors" (?) as COLON, MINUS (there is one conflict in GND numbers using the MINUS character as last but one character) etc. I will set the report status to LATER. Best regards Reinhardt

(In reply to comment #0) Your request is over complicated (TL;DR) Clarification request: Do you want me to change the script so that it + stops detecting VIAF2 (or VIAF3 and so on) ?

COLON and MINUS are delimiters for **text** and are the only META characters not escaped in **anchors**. Example of simple test can be seen at: http://www.librarything.com/author/penningtonmbasil&norefer=1&all=1 rendering: http://www.librarything.com/pic/283012 COLON will never ever used in wiki pages.

Please let me save all work from autumn last year where VIAF2 (or VIAF3) are used. It will take less then 10 days.
[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html . Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest". For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]
