I posted here back in March about some templates I'd created to enable direct links between Wikipedia articles and resources in readers' libraries about (and/or by) the subjects of those articles. (These linking services are still under active development, and I've been hoping to complete a port over to Wikimedia's own servers, once I have all the needed approvals.) Yesterday, however, all of these templates were tagged by a Wikipedia user for discussion about possible deletion. (Because the higher-level templates used by editors invoke some lower-level templates that were also tagged, any usage of the links on Wikipedia pages looks pretty ugly at the moment.) If you're interested in the fate of these links and templates, please consider weighing in on the discussion, which you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2013_Ap… (And if you're interested in having your library included in the linking service, and aren't yet in the list of supported libraries, you can sign up here: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu//webbin/olbpcontact?type=library The service is currently available for links from both Wikipedia and The Online Books Page, and can possibly be ported for other sites as well.)
