Motivation
[edit]Couldn't figure out how to find the formatter URL that only requires the PID and not either a person's name or the newspaper that published the obituary. 1Veertje (talk) 08:44, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- found it.--1Veertje (talk) 21:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- it happens very regularly that a person has had their obituary printed in multiple newspapers. Each publication gets its own ID so so instead of a single-value constraint (Q19474404) there should be a requirement to qualify in which paper it was published in (P1433). --1Veertje (talk) 21:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Can this be done with single-best-value constraint (Q52060874)? --1Veertje (talk) 10:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Discussion
[edit]
Comment} a formatter URL is good to have, but it's not a requirement for an external-id property. Maybe the actual URL could be stored as reference URL. --- Jura 17:22, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
