Until December 2019 the Media Arts Database (Q54760023) had different identifiers and URIs for different material in their database. There was Media Arts Database manga ID (former scheme) (P6369), Media Arts Database anime ID (former scheme) (P6368), Media Arts Database console games ID (former scheme) (P7117) and P3231 (P3231). But they have changed their IDs and the structure of their URIs without redirection. Now there should be only one identifier property for all material. This was also discussed at the project chat Wikidata:Project chat#From 4 Identifier Properties to 1 Identifier Property Diggr (talk) 13:20, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Makes sense. Jean-Fred (talk) 20:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment I don’t fully understand how the M and C prefixes map to entities… It seems that “M” are works (manga volumes and episodes) while “C” are collections (manga series and tv series) ; but then authors are C as well so… Jean-Fred (talk) 20:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I don't fully get it either. They only have two types of data "items" and "collections". They are briefly described here: [1]) Diggr (talk) 09:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
