- Thank you for posting this. It allowed me to realize that I was conflating ID with username. — Dcflyer (talk) 11:05, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Constraint violations: format
editAs of this writing, there are 753 format constraint (Q21502404) violations for format as a regular expression (P1793), out of 897 uses of Flickr user ID (P3267). After looking at the history of this property, it doesn’t appear that the regular expression (Q185612) was subject to any changes; however the overwhelming number of Flickr account usernames do not match this regex.

How to record corresponding username and its changes?
editFlickr usernames can be changed, hence why the unique ID is used here instead. For example, SpaceX (Q193701) had the username 'spacexphotos' until sometime in 2016 or early 2017 (based on Wayback Machine snapshots), when it was changed to 'spacex' instead. What would the best way of recording this be? (The current situation seems very poor to me.) One idea that comes to mind is having two entries with the same ID value but a different website username or ID (P554) qualifier and giving the current one a preferred rank. –JustTheRealArchivist (talk) 23:29, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Converting existing entities to use the user ID
editSince Dcflyer’s post in 2019, the number of entities which use a text string rather than a user ID has risen to a little over ~1000.
As part of the data modelling for Flickypedia, I’d quite like to use this field! In particular, when linking to a Flickr photographer in creator (P170), I want to link to the Wikidata entity where it exists. And in turn, I’d rather my code only had to query for the canonical user ID, and not look for the text versions as well.
I’ve got a script which can do bulk lookups of the "username ~> user ID", so I’m going to do that and gradually clean up the existing data in this field. I won’t be able to get everything, because some of these entities are protected or semi-protected, but hopefully I can make it a little better! Alexwlchan (talk) 15:35, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
constraint should include events
editEvents like science fiction convention Glasgow 2024 (Q110281448) often have Flickr albums, the constraint should allow them. I've added occurrence (Q1190554) Vicarage (talk) 06:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
