Check date errors

Could someone please check this template to see why it's generating the Check date values in: |accessdate= messages? For example, see the post above and List of Farm to Market Roads in Texas (1–99) refs #51 & 52. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 14:47, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It said the accessdate was 2001-01-05, which is pre-Wikipedia. –Fredddie ™ 15:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2018 edition now online

TxDOT has replaced the 2014 edition with the 2018 edition. In this edition, the page numbers are drastically different due to the changed scale of the maps. However, unlike the changeover from the 2012 to the 2014 edition, they appear to have overwritten the respective PDF files in the same directory on their server, so presumably all citations to the 2014 mapbook now link to the wrong files. For now, I have (a) updated the documentation, (b) added in a function to state the correct scale of the map (2018 is 1:72,224, while 2014 and 2012 are 1:120,000), and (c) updated the conditionals that display the dead link and OCLC information for the still-dead 2012 links. Any other suggestions or thoughts? --Kinu ^t/_c 07:27, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at citations that reference the 2012 (by default) and 2014 editions, and editing one to reference the 2018 edition, nothing looks broken, but feel free to edit anything as needed if I'm wrong. :) --Kinu ^t/_c 07:52, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
