Discussion edit

Support We already have Fancyclopedia 3 ID (P9307) which covers science fiction fanzines, this would be complementary. Vicarage (talk) 04:52, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support The ZineWiki ID would increase our coverage of independent publications. I added three examples and transcluded this proposal. Susmuffin (talk) 20:18, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Hyju, Vicarage, Susmuffin: because this wiki uses MediaWiki what about using the numerical identifier (called "curid") instead of the plain text ID? For example, the numerical ID for "The Fantasy Fan" is 7551. To find this numercial ID, simply click on "Page information" on the left column, then the ID is indicated as "Page ID". The advantage of the numericla identifier is it is stable even when the page is renamed. See Wikisimpsons article ID (P10291) for another property that uses curid.

More robust, but less readable and more work to find out when importing. And I suspect that the curid would be a big barrier for manual adding of new entries. As this seems to be a standard mediawiki feature, follow standard practice when connecting WD to a mediawiki. Vicarage (talk) 17:11, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a barrier to finding the page IDs, as finding them requires the editor to either look through the source code or look at the page information. Adding the page's title simply requires that the editor look at the page. Fancyclopedia 3 ID (P9307), which is linked in the first vote, uses the given format.
