@John Cummings: It's not at all clear what you propose as the ID value then. If you were to use the last part of the URL you gave (0041950) that seems like it would work nicely in a formatter URL. But I'm guessing that's not what you are proposing? ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:28, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ArthurPSmith:, should I just rename this proposal Site Reference rather than ID? Then we can use the URL structure. Its a strange choice by the website to do it this way.... --John Cummings (talk) 17:41, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@John Cummings: I think that makes the most sense - this way it's easy for people to follow the link and confirm things, and they can get the ID there too if we want a property for that later or to add it somehow separately. This one seems more useful. I've modified the proposal along these lines, looks ok to you? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:49, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ArthurPSmith:, perfect, thanks. --John Cummings (talk) 17:56, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@John Cummings: I think it would be good to somehow link to the real ID. Maybe we can contact the website to ask whether they offer a way to link to the ID? ChristianKl (talk) 13:34, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Namibia uses three different ids: SiteId, SiteReference and GazettNo. The id used for the url is the siteReference but with the "/" removed. /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 10:34, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
