: The template links to the Round Tables are all incorrect - they don't link to round tables, but to the root phrases (Library Research Round Table --> Library Research, which is a redirect, which points to a deleted article).

Template links are so so
The links in this template are so so. Some get redirected, and some only link to general info on the topics. In my opinion, there should be no redirects, and no link should go to a general subject matter page instead of the page of the actual Roundtable. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 07:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Things are missing
Things are missing from this template, like ALA creations:
- Book Links
- Booklist
- Banned Books Week
- Library Bill of Rights
- Awards, like Newbery, Caldecott, etc.
- Etc.
Just my two tuppence. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 07:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Links to discussion are not correct
The links to the discussion page of the template are not correct either. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 07:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- The template links to the Round Tables are all incorrect - they don't link to round tables, but to the root phrases (Library Research Round Table --> Library Research, which is a redirect, which points to a deleted article). These incorrect links show up in every article where the template is used. I propose either unlinking the Round Table Wikilinks, or creating target articles for each and correcting the pointers.

I don't think individual articles for individual units of the ALA is really encyclopedic. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps the round table links should go to the external links that are the web faces of the round tables themselves. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Maybe I'll just do it. See if you like it when I'm done. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Done. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Awards
The ALA gets a lot of press every year when it announces the award winners. I wa prticularly impressed this year when the Newbery and Caldecott Medal winners were announced. I have cince learned that the ALA gives out LOTS of awards, but Wikipedia does not yet seem to have a concise orderly way of rpesenting that information. There is short section regarding the awards on the ALA page, and I've recently added a much larger section on awards to the Children's Services page, but I think it would be appropriate to add links to the pages regarding the various awards in the template. -ErinHowarth (talk) 20:27, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
