Renata3 there's a few updates waiting to be done, could you add the following entries?
['CITEREFMarshall1969'] = {'Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway 1'}, ['CITEREFMarshall1970'] = {'Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway 2'}, ['CITEREFRowling1997'] = {'HP1ref'}, ['CITEREFRowling1998'] = {'HP2ref'}, ['CITEREFRowling1999'] = {'HP3ref'}, ['CITEREFRowling2000'] = {'HP4ref'}, ['CITEREFRowling2003'] = {'HP5ref'}, ['CITEREFRowling2005'] = {'HP6ref'}, ['CITEREFRowling2007'] = {'HP7ref'}, ['CITEREFShiji'] = {'Cite Shiji'}, ['CITEREFSima'] = {'Cite Shiji'}, ['CITEREFSimaSima'] = {'Cite Shiji'},

Hi @Renata3, there is more Tolkien (no surprise). I may or may not have gotten the format right this time:

['CITEREFTolkien2017']={'ME-ref|B&L'}

Thanks, Andy02124 (talk) 16:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240826165000","author":"Andy02124","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Andy02124-20240826165000-Another_whitelist_request","replies":["c-Andy02124-20240826165100-Andy02124-20240826165000"]}}-->

Probably {'ME-ref'} is enough.

It should just be:

['CITEREFTolkien2017'] = {'ME-ref'},

The B&L isn't part of the template name. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240826203400","author":"ActivelyDisinterested","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-ActivelyDisinterested-20240826203400-Andy02124-20240826165100","replies":[]}}-->

Template:Cite Cambridge History of China (which I've had no involvement in yet) is needing the module-level whitelisting to avoid miscategorisation. There are (to date) seventeen volumes, so there are a lot of things.

@Renata3: can you add (*deep breath*):

['CITEREFLoeweShaughnessy1999'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFDienKnapp2019'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFPeterson2016'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFChaffeeTwitchett2015'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFTwitchettSmith2009'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFPeterson2002'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFTwitchettMote1998'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFMoteTwitchett1998'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFFrankeTwitchett1994'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFMacFarquharFairbank1991'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFMacFarquharFairbank1987'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFTwitchettLoewe1986'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFFairbankFeuerwerker1986'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFFairbank1983'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFFairbankLiu1980'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFTwitchett1979'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}, ['CITEREFFairbank1978'] = {'Cite Cambridge History of China'}

Thanks in advance and sorry. (Noting for clarity that "TwitchettMote1998" alongside "MoteTwitchett1998" is not an error) Folly Mox (talk) 14:58, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241019145800","author":"Folly Mox","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Folly_Mox-20241019145800-Big_ole_whitelist_request","replies":["c-Folly_Mox-20241019170100-Folly_Mox-20241019145800"]}}-->

Oh actually it turns out I'm the most recent contributor to that template 🫠 I added a parameter two months ago and forgot all about it.
