Euring number edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

   Done: EURING number (P3459) (Talk and documentation)
Descriptionnumber used to identify a species or subspecies, in the Euring database
Data typeExternal identifier
Domainbirds
Allowed values\d+
Example
SourceEuring, BTO
Formatter URLhttp://app.bto.org/birdfacts/results/bob$1.htm
Motivation

European Union for Bird Ringing (Q3060810) uses these UIDs to identify bird species and subspecies, during bird ringing (Q319436).

Note: The formatter URL shown above is for one Euring partner, British Trust for Ornithology (Q2925763). Others Formatter URLs be available, but Euring appears to have none itself. The BTO drops the leading zero(s) used by Euring. Constructive comments on how to handle this would be appreciated.

Discussion

@Pigsonthewing: What about links of the form https://euring.org/edb/species-maps/sp01630.htm for this property? The leading zero could be a problem. Jts1882 (talk) 10:46, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
