Audio template

I've been poking around for the icon used for audio files, and it seems that it's actually something which can be set on a case-by-case basis: {{Listen}} defaults to "music", a speaker with notes, but also offers "sound" (a generic speaker with sound waves) or "speech", with an old-style microphone. You can also set it to "none" for no image.

There's also {{audio}}, which is a smaller inline template and uses a small speaker+waves icon.

Given our chat this afternoon, I'm going to suggest we shift the default to "sound", as the most generic of the three. Andrew Gray (talk) 15:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That definitely makes sense. Although we don't see much of a differnce, to those who care, sound is a greater concept than music. It'd be like having a paintbrush icon for photorealistic imagery. Maximilianklein (talk) 15:13, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just so. Template talk:Listen#Default icon. Andrew Gray (talk) 15:33, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox book

Hi, could you have a look at the |OCLC= parameter in {{Infobox book}}, please? Is it well documented? Should it be (auto-) linked? Can we populate it by bot, like we're doing with authority control? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pleased you brought this up. It is not well documented. And my next project after VIAFbot, is to see if we can make an algorithm for that OCLC parameter. So you read my thoughts exactly. Maximilianklein (talk) 17:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Template:Authority control on article

Hi, Maximilianklein can you, or VIAFbot please add the Template:Authority control {{Authority control}} in the Wikipedia article Kevin-Prince Boateng. MarkMysoe (talk) 22:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
