Motivation

The TopKar (Q124296935) is a geoinformation resource on the toponymy of Karelia. It describes Karelian, Veps and Russian toponyms in the North West of Russia. The article about toponym in TopKar describes a name, synonyms, incorrect synonyms (wrong names), geo type, geographical administrative division (region, district, settlement), etymology, location on the map (OpenStreetMap), main description of toponym (in Russian), date and place of recording of information about toponym, list of toponyms in this settlement. Each TopKar entry has own unique ID.

This would be a useful source of additional information about the writing, pronunciation and history of, for example, the villages, lakes and rivers of Karelia presented in Wikidata and Wikipedia.

A link to a TopKar entry can serve as an authoritative source for confirming information for Wikidata values. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 11:23, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lewis Hulbert: Dear Lewis, thank you! I added this property to object d:Q31871264 (lake Airanne). But this property was not transformed to a hyperlink http://topkar.krc.karelia.ru/ru/dict/toponyms/40933 (lake Airanne with TopKar ID = 40933). Can you fix this? -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 10:32, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AKA MBG: Unfortunately it takes a little while for changes to the formatter URL (P1630) to propagate. It shouldn't take any longer than 48 hours for the hyperlink to display on items, though individual items may need their cache to be cleared after it's functioning.

OK. Thank you for explanation. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 10:52, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
