There are a couple of steps involved here.  One is the recreation of the
brief records, that in general should be automatic, but not when the
template is changed.  Just run bibreformat --all, and wait until those
already formatted records are reloaded into the database.  Monitor it
with bibsched.

Then you must refresh the initial static pages for the collections,
running webcoll, maybe with --force.

Again, it depends on how those display definitions are set.  If a title
is when tag is 245 and indicators are blank, those titles are not
shown.  With wildcards as indicators, they show up.

I hope this is explained above.  If not, please insist.

I'd appreciate some feedback by the CERN developers about this
indicators policy in the default values of the software, because I think
it causes unnecessary trouble for new adopters.  It also happens in most
other formatters, not only HTML: Dublin Core, Refworks, EndNote, field
definitions, etc.

Best regards,
