__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
This template generates a link for browsing an author's works on ''[[Open Library]]''.<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
One of:<br />
<br />
* <nowiki>{{OL author}}</nowiki><br />
* <nowiki>{{OL author|id=id of the author as specified at openlibrary.org|cname=name to be displayed}}</nowiki><br />
<br />
The former fetches the ID from Wikidata and takes the name from the page name.<br />
<br />
{{Para|id}} is the openlibrary id in the form ####A where #### is a series of one or more digits; do not include 'OL' prefix<br/> <br />
{{Para|cname}} is an optional parameter for the name to be displayed – if omitted, uses page name<br/><br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
;Code<br />
<code><nowiki>{{OL author|21491A}}</nowiki></code><br/><br />
;Result<br />
{{OL author|21491A}} – no name provided so use page name<br />
<br />
;Code<br />
<code><nowiki>{{OL author|id=21491A|cname=Jack Kerouac}}</nowiki></code><br/><br />
;Result<br />
{{OL author|id=21491A|cname=Jack Kerouac}}<br />
<br />
==Tracking categories==<br />
* {{clc|Open Library ID not in Wikidata}}<br />
* {{clc|Open Library ID different from Wikidata}}<br />
* {{clc|Open Library ID same as Wikidata}}<br />
* {{clc|Articles with Open Library links}}<br />
