Motivation edit

Since Fellow of the Royal Society ID (P2070) is only applicable to current (i.e. alive) Fellows, this identifier can be used to link to past (i.e. deceased) Fellows of the Royal Society. Jay D. Easy (talk) 18:18, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

The fourth article refers to an article, not a person.--GZWDer (talk) 18:28, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! My mistake! I've removed the example. Jay D. Easy (talk) 20:12, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I wanted to add an ID for a deceased fellow, but then discovered you could only add for current Fellows - Robert John Tillyard (Q326396) (NA7952). Much better to use stated in and an ID instead of just a link, particularly for references. David Nind ~~~

Jay D. Easy, ~~I had to change P1630, because there was a restriction.~~ There are several format constraints, so I put your P1630 back.

Since this was added the Royal Society has changed the URL to their new catalogue which means the formatter should change to https://catalogues.royalsociety.org/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Persons&id=$1 (existing links still work, but I assume at some stage they won't) - I attempted to change the formatter but I'm not sure how long it takes for this change to take effect, or if I've done it right (or should have done it!)
