We'll get this back from the WorldCat API and it's a useful number to return; we may need an additional way to map it to templatedata though, unless you know off-hand of the right thing to use? We'll need to add it to templates for it to be used, of course, but it's a helpful item to provide.

Is this a worldcat requirement?
The OCLC # is already in the URL.
It is indeed already a valid param on en wiki though so that's trivia to add to template data at least on en wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_book

It's a strongly requested feature, and I think it's worth adding. Having it in the citoid JSON response and encouraging wikis to use it in their templates is the limit of what I was thinking.

Does this also need fixes in the Citoid extension, or just in the templates and their TemplateData? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_book already has the oclc parameter, but its templatedata would need "oclc": "oclc", in the citoid map, I guess?
