- Even though it's not part of the template, it would be nice to have a regular expression pattern for the JECFA numbers and a URL formatter mentioned here. In the past, I've been unhappy with many WHO resources that weren't particularly accessible. For example, the source listed goes to an error page. Cthoyt (talk) 13:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
