Parameters

This template takes an optional parameter, |country=. With this parameter, extra identifiers can be activated on a country-by-country basis. For example, to show the national library of Spain, you can add |country=ES to the template invocation. Not providing a country generates the default selection of art IDs.

For an up-to-date list of supported country codes, please see Template:Authority control#Whitelists.

To specify more than one country, separate the codes with commas, e.g. |country=ro, lv. Note that the codes are case-insensitive.
