https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=$1&text&app_absent=0 is redirected from wa.me/$1 which was blocked by the spam filter. Hddty (talk) 02:14, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Oppose in favor of phone number (P1329) qualified with online service (P2361) WhatsApp (Q1049511). Mahir256 (talk) 17:40, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment WhatsApp is big when you travel in Asia so maybe a good idea - Salgo60 (talk) 00:30, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think it makes more sense to be a separate property as there are other qualifiers that can then be used such as start time (P580). If overloading phone number (P1329), we would lose this ability to have qualifiers about the subject's use of WhatsApp. Per phone number (P1329) I suggest a string data type and no "tel:" prefix. --Dhx1 (talk) 16:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Added a regular expression as the number appears to be an integer representation of an E.164 number {e.g. phone number (P1329)). --Dhx1 (talk) 22:31, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not really convinced by this. Isn't this and Wikidata:Property proposal/Signal number today the default use for phone numbers? Not sure if Wikidata isn't a good way to check for availability. Potentially we would end up adding additional properties for other services. --- Jura 15:11, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as per Mahir256: it's nothing else but the phone number. If you need to express different start dates for "plain phone" vs "Viber phone", use two statements with the same prop & value but different qualifiers. --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 11:50, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Mahir256. Every WA number is a phone number too, so qualifying phone number (P1329) makes more sense IMO. --Nw520 (talk) 15:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
