Motivation edit

Notified participants of WikiProject Canada, @Cortomaltais:

Hi, I know that Ontario MPP ID (P3054) was already proposed, but the ID and the url of the former property was changed, I asked some questions and it seem that the best practice is to propose a new property and mark the former as deprecated. Fralambert (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have aslo to notify

WikiProject every politician has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead.. --Fralambert (talk)

Discussion edit

The domain name for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario has moved from ontla.on.ca to ola.org probably sometime in 2019. On december 4, 2019, en user Bearcat has modified the template to use the new domain, but all uses of this template will have to be modified by hand. In Wikidata, maybe the tool Mix'n'match can help with the transfer to the new property. Pinging @Simon Villeneuve: who seems to be a regular user of this tool. --Cortomaltais (talk) 22:59, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cortomaltais, Fralambert: Hi guys !
mix'n'match isn't the good tool here. It can be done with QuickStatements. I already have done something like this for Classiques des sciences sociales ID (P5390) (example), without knowing the "best practice" that Fralambert is speaking about above.
So, if you want, it is easy to change all the actual entries with the new URL. Simon Villeneuve (talk) 20:14, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cortomaltais, Simon Villeneuve: If you thing that a replacement is fine instead of a new property, go for it! (I actually made the replacement instead of a creation for Heritage NL ID (P933), but there was only 36 items for this property at the time. --Fralambert (talk) 22:05, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I retracted my proposition, see Property talk:P3054#Major changes : community consensus. --Fralambert (talk) 02:52, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
