The authority control tag can be added to any bio, regardless of whether Worldcat or others have yet created identity authorities for that individual. When/if an authority is created, then it is auto linked and displays on the Wikipedia bio page. So could code be adjusted to automatically tag every bio with authority links?

To my surprise I see that [[User:Merrilee]] marked [[Wikipedia:VIAF/errors]] as " no longer the preferred way to contact VIAF staff" in {{diff|Wikipedia:VIAF/errors|904690687|904599760|this edit}}, {{diff|Wikipedia:VIAF/errors|905406780|905346829|and this one}}, asking people to email OCLC directly. Where and when was this decided? I have concerns that the page is asking editors - some of whom my have reasons to preserve their anonymity - to email an external organisation. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 14:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
