::In general, I tend to think that less is more in cases like this unless there is a strong reason to differentiate. However, I don't really know much about the Internet Archive, so I'm not really a good person to judge.

== postscript check ==
 
Check for 'postscript' with more than one character. I'm seeing some odd stuff inserted. --''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</span>]]'''''<sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]</sup> 19:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 
:My present reaction is that it may be too late for this. There appear to be too many people doing things like {{para|postcript|<nowiki><!-- None --></nowiki>}}, plus [[User:Citation bot]] has been putting a message about {{tl|inconsistent citations}} in the postscript. Insisting that it ought to be only one character seems a bit futile at this point. [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] ([[User talk:Dragons flight|talk]]) 22:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

It seems to me that it should be fairly easy to incorporate these requirements into this module and allow much of the code in the current scripts could be junked as it would allow all the other parameters standard to be passed in without the need to do so explicitly (as had to be done previously). -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 13:22, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 
== Part ==
 
A part= parameter would be useful, see for example:
* [http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Military_periodicals_online#The_United_Service_Journal_and_Naval_and_Military_Magazine The United Service Journal and Naval and Military Magazine] where there are volumes divided into two parts for each year in the volume.
*{{Cite Notitia Parliamentaria |part=1}}
*{{Cite Notitia Parliamentaria |part=2}}

:Also useful would be column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse and probably a lot more. But this is why we have the catchall 'at' field where you can add free text where 'chapter' and 'page' don't exactly fit. --<span style="color:Turquoise">''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850]]'''''<sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]</sup></span> 17:45, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
::By that argument volume may as well be removed! A difference is made between chapter and page. A similar difference needs to be made between volume and part. In parts page numbering often restarts. Most of the items you have listed in your first sentence are attributes of the same physical book (and are other ways of pinpointing information within a physical book). Part is different, it frequently describes a physical book with its own page numbering. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 09:26, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

::The more general case: The Suggestion list would be better if it accepted regular expressions or something similar. There are myriad misspelled forms of "access-date" that I catch and fix with a regex in [[User:Jonesey95/AutoEd/unnamed.js]]. It would be great if we could feed something like "ac+e+s-*d+a+t+e" (only one "s") or "ac+e+sss+-*d+at+e" (triple "s") into the Suggestions list and have it suggest "access-date". – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 20:53, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
