mirrors data from edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic

Done: mirrors data from (P3447) (Talk and documentation)

Description	The website automatically crawls or mirrors another website as it's data source
Data type	Item
Domain	websites
Example	Yahoo! JAPAN Talent Database (Q27048656) → Wikipedia (Q52)

Motivation

There are a bunch of websites that automatically mirror Wikipedia data. To prevent citogenesis it would be good to document when this is the case. Especially tools like the Primary Sources tool could benefit from having this data. ChristianKl (talk) 17:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think it could be expressed with the P794 (P794) qualifier with mirror storage (Q654822) and the reference URL (P854) http://website.net as a reference/source to state that it was mirrored from this URL, as discussed in this previous property proposal.

Support. Though not just for Wikipedia; for other resources as well, including DBs and External IDs. CC0 (talk)
Support. The use case of preventing Wikipedia-based citogenesis is helpful, but there's other good use cases too. —Tom Morris (talk) 14:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@ChristianKl, Thryduulf, Dachary, CC0, Tom Morris: Done - consensus seemed clear to create this. ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:30, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
