Hi Sic19; thanks for creating the new podcast identifier properties! Two questions about them: first, when they're added to sample items like The Daily (Q48741148), clicking on the string doesn't take you to the URL, as with Spotify show ID (P5916). Any way to get that working? Second, I notice that they add a suggested e.g. "An entity with Stitcher show ID should also have a statement distributed by Stitcher." Since any podcast with an RSS feed will be distributable on pretty much any platform, I'm not sure it makes sense to have a long "distributed by -> (all the platforms)" parts on every podcast item. Thoughts?

Hi @Sdkb, The formatter url can take a while before it starts to works but the identifers will be clickable when it does. It can sometimes take 24 hours.
I didn't add the item requires statement constraint (Q21503247) and it would make sense for you to discuss whether it is appropriate with @Trade.
Best wishes, Simon
Okay, thanks, that's helpful! A day's delay in the URL showing up should be no problem. I've added the new properties to w:Template:Podcast platform links, and they look like they're working at the pages I've tested. I wasn't able to figure out how to draw the URL formatting from Wikidata directly, so the URL structures are just copy-pasted to the template, but if you know how to get it to draw directly, that might be better.
Also, the next step would seem to be doing mass-imports to get these properties actually used on a bunch of popular podcasts. I'm not sure how to go about that or request it, though.
For the mass imports, the Wikidata:Bot requests page would be a good place to ask for help.
