Comment
editThe first institution named at the bottom of the page, after "All rights reserved", is Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Q15944807). As can be seen from the examples, one species might have more than one entry; the .../taxon/... entry appears to be the most comprehensive, so perhaps we should go with the formatter URL above (the $1 is long enough already, without having to add "taxon/" each time); if it transpires that there are many (sub)species with a .../dbb/... entry only, I guess we could always add a second property at a later date.
Motivation
editA potential Chinese (Q7850) Template:Taxonbar (Q22741012) item for Chinese Wikipedia (Q30239). Thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 02:34, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Discussion
edit- Comment It's definitely preferable for there to be only 1 or at most rarely some duplicate values for an identifer, so if you're ok with limiting it to the "taxon" case then I think that's the way we should go here. You could propose a second property for the other links (maybe a URL property)? Anyway, just 1 value for an external id is almost always the right choice because it makes lookup and matching much simpler. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- There is now a .../dbb/... proposal (here (for now, also with the external-id datatype, as I guess that would be better for the Taxonbars, but a suggested recommendation of 1 (best) match only)) as well as this (now) .../taxon/...-only proposal; thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 01:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @ArthurPSmith:, would you like to give your opinion? Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 07:44, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support. Should the formatter URL (P1630) change to "http://www.zoology.csdb.cn/taxon/{$1}"? --Kethyga (talk) 03:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I don't think the brackets should be considered part of the identifier. --99of9 (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
