Discussion
Thanks! For future reference: the Ohio Historical Society changed its URLs some time back, from one systematic format to another, thus breaking all our links to their pages. By replacing the links with {{OHC NRHP}}, the bot will presumably make us largely immune to future activities of this sort: the template transcludes everything of the URL except the unique identifier at the end, so as long as they use URLs that are identical except for this unique identifier, a future URL change will be fixed by a single edit to the template.

Since {{OHC NRHP}} doesn't work inside citation templates, I have changed this request to exclude citation templates. GoingBatty (talk) 01:37, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
