Motivation edit

All health practitioners working in their field in Australia are required to be registered to do so. If a Wikidata item exists for a health practitioner in Australia that is currently practising, they will have an entry in this register. Inclusion of this property is important to prove claims of Australian individuals practising a health profession. The Register of Practitioners (Q108891158) managed by Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Q30264317) provides one (typically) or more (rarely) registration numbers for each health practitioner and provides details of their registration including the medical specialisation they are registered to practice, date of registration and qualifications held by the individual. Some individuals may be registered multiple times across multiple disciplines of medicine. I could not find a better formatter URL as it looks like the registration detail page for an individual is accessible only via a HTTP POST request. Dhx1 (talk) 13:31, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will need to be used in conjunction with the wayback machine, if the identifier is as described. It appears that when you are no longer practising you will be scrubbed from the register. This means that any article incorporating it, must be use the wayback machine or the reference will turn into a dead link.... MargaretRDonald (talk) 20:30, 14 October 2021 (UTC) By the way at the moment the links in the examples are not quite working correctly. MargaretRDonald (talk) 20:33, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@MargaretRDonald: I think we may just have to remove the formatter URL. As you've said, entries are deleted from the register as people retire (typically) or as people are forcibly delisted (in which case there is another list on the AHPRA website listing forced removals). The current formatter URL is the only one I could find and it returns a JSON blob rather than a HTML page. --Dhx1 (talk) 06:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
do not support I struggle to see the point of an ephemeral identifier..... (Persuade me) MargaretRDonald (talk) 06:24, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
