==Internet Archive==

Can someone familiar with this module add code to enable Internet Archive links for books etc. For example, the open library code [http://openlibrary.org/books/OL16525337M/A_concise_etymological_dictionary_of_the_English_language OL16525337M] is the book "A concise etymological dictionary of the English language", which also has LCCN [http://lccn.loc.gov/11035890 11035890] and Internet Archive code [http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924008779690 cu31924008779690]. Thanks.

:And Google Books [http://books.google.com/books?id=ls_XijT33IUC ls_XijT33IUC]. What other archive systems are used? --''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</span>]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]} 09:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::at [[WebCite]] users can archive single webpages. the Internet Archive also crawls for site/page snapshots and these may follow the rate of change of the originals. Google Books is different, as it may act more like an online publisher than an archival service.

If you can figure out how to update the fields for Internet Archive, Google Books, or some other ID scheme, then they would be easy to add. A few ID schemes (including Open Library) don't easily map to this format and have to be specially handled, so that is possible too, but it would take more effort.

:Internet Archive has various media (text, audio, video), but they all appear to have the same URL pattern (<nowiki>http://www.archive.org/details/identifier</nowiki>). Should we create one entry and disregard type, or create separate entries for each, some of which may have subtypes? (For example, some of the audio files could use a handler for [[Live Music Archive]] instead of [[Internet Archive]].) I think one handler is probably the better option.

::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.

Line 127:

Add 'formatsize' to indicate the size of the linked document. This should show right after 'format' and in the parenthesis. There is already a bot filling in PDF sizes for another template, so it can be repurposed to detect if 'format' is defined, then add 'formatsize' if it isn't already defined. --<span style="color:Turquoise">''''' &nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850]]'''''^{[[User talk:Gadget850|&nbsp;''talk'']]}</span> 18:24, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

:{{para|formatsize}} presumably to be filled in for known file types (PDF, XLS, ...), and ''not'' for things not in the list like {{para|format}}hardcover, handout, etc. For streaming media, the file size is rarely known up front, unless it's hosted as a file (such as on Commons), so perhaps ''not'' filled in for {{para|format}}video, but perhaps for AVI, MP4, etc. --[[User:Lexein|Lexein]] ([[User talk:Lexein|talk]]) 03:36, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
