Diary

December 18, 2023: Update links to runeberg.org from http: to https:

January 2, 2009: LA2-bot starts to add interwiki links.

August 24, 2008: I added Swedish interwiki links to the years in theatre, e.g. 1991 год в театре .

October 23, 2007: I start to look at the ISSN template. It currently links to OCLC Worldcat.org, which might not be optimal. Perhaps some Russian library should be used instead? In a lot of places, ISSNs are mentioned within an external link, which makes it impossible to apply the ISSN template. I'm changing from

[http://www.dp.ru/ «Деловой Петербург» ISSN 1606-1829 (Online)] 

to

«[http://www.dp.ru/ Деловой Петербург]» {{ISSN|1606-1829}} (Online) 

This "Деловой Петербург" appears to be cited in a lot of articles, perhaps the most commonly mentioned ISSN. Shouldn't that magazine have its own article instead of so many external links?
