Discussion

 Comment The slug ("cambridge-companion-to-american-islam") is not needed, the actual id is the string following. You can replace it with '_' in the formatter URL, so they don't need that prefix string at all. So we can have 93529C9BCA2398163C90AD5053629161 as the ID example. ArthurPSmith (talk) 21:15, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@ArthurPSmith: Thanks for the excellent clarification which allowed me to remove the unnecessary prefix string, and here we are now with an alphanumeric identifier. Soufiyouns (talk) 05:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support by the way. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Comment The examples given here are not in conformance with the WikiProjects Books policy (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books) of creating an item for a work, and then other items for each edition. This proposed identifier identifies a particular edition/manifestation, since it is an ISBN. It belongs on items that have instances of version, edition or translation (Q3331189) on them. I would support this proposal and others like it if it followed the WikiProjects Books guidelines. Also incorrect: these items listed as examples have instance of book (Q571) but they should be instance of written work (Q47461344). AdamSeattle (talk) 02:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

  @AdamSeattle: Thanks for the clarifications, and I've just added the written work instance (written work (Q47461344)) to the property proposal. Regards. Soufiyouns (talk) 05:46, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
