mul for identifiers

edit

Hey Midleading, thanks for creating the IATI organisation ID (P13305). Why is it a bad idea to add a mul-statement to this identifier? It is the official-used name by the initiative. Best NGOgo (WikiProject Nonprofits!) 09:45, 17 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

There isn't enough labels in multiple languages yet to decide which one is the most common, and mul label is not a place for official label. Midleading (talk) 09:48, 17 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
I can live with that. But since the idea of mul is to reduce redundancy, I think for an international identifier, that is mainly used in English the fallback would be okay instead of waiting for multiple simmilar descriptions. Best NGOgo (WikiProject Nonprofits!) 10:55, 17 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Judging from many other properties I have created so far, there isn't a common label that can be used by identifier properties. The word "identifier" has to be translated into various languages, so these labels are not the same. Midleading (talk) 13:41, 17 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

National Trust Heritage Records ID

National Trust Heritage Records ID (P13301), which you kindly created for us on the 16th of Feb, still does not have the hyperlinks active. Can it be poked to get them working? Vicarage (talk) 06:48, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

It works for me. Could you please test it logged out or on another computer? Midleading (talk) 07:42, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Confirmed no link for Spalding Priory (Q7572987) under Brave on Linux logged in (my usual setup), for Brave and Firefox there logged out, and on Android and Windows (spit!) Brave logged out. Vicarage (talk) 08:07, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, quite strange. The link works for me but I use a very unusual interface language (Vahcuengh). When I switch to English, the links are gone. Could be a server or cache problem. I'm not administrator so I can't help you. Midleading (talk) 08:25, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
The admins fixed it with a purge. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard#c-Andrei_Stroe-20250225104300-Vicarage-20250225083300 Vicarage (talk) 11:29, 25 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Maybe I should not create properties while not using English Midleading (talk) 17:25, 1 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
