LCCN link in Editions - doesn't work

I don’t know if I am just unlucky, but every LCCN link that I have clicked on in an Edition page returns a message stating the LCCN entered can’t be found, e.g.: https://lccn.loc.gov/Q860831

I really don’t know what the Q number is all about. It is possible that the system was changed. The LCCN site uses a permalink url, e.g.: https://lccn.loc.gov/25015488

Maybe that is the link that should be entered as the ID.

Isn’t that the wiki data ID?

Well spotted young @indy133

Someone had used the wrong ID name, hence it was trying to link to the LCCN website. I will remember to check that next time I click on an LCCN link and it doesn’t work. Thanks.
