- Motivation
There is clearly a demand for this, as people have been misusing Facebook username (P2013) (e.g.) to add such values. The en.Wikipedia template has 340 transclusions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:54, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Discussion
Comment Is it a misuse Facebook username (P2013) to do this? I don't think we really need a separate identifier for something where there's a working solution already and only applies to a few hundred items. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:04, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a misuse, as the concepts are different, and so are the formatter URLs, meaning that the solutions was not "working" (as can be seen by examining the "before" version of the example I gave in my "Motivation"). There are for more than "a few hundred" such URLs, for notable subjects, on Facebook. I'm unclear why you think you have grounds to "oppose", when you are still asking such a question.

- @ArthurPSmith: Would you care to take another look at this, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- I modified it to a "comment" but the motivation mentioned only 340 uses in enwiki so it doesn't seem to be huge. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:36, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- The template has 340 uses; en.Wikipedia has over 10K links beginning

Support Given that it's another formatter URL and a person might have a Facebook page that differs from his personal account, I think it makes sense to have a property for both. ChristianKl (talk) 08:47, 22 May 2017 (UTC)- Support. Based on the point made that a person can have an official page in addition to another type of page, I agree that it makes sense to have this.

- Support - As mentioned above, a Facebook ID is an identifier for a particular user account, but a Facebook page is different as it represents an official public presence of a person or organization. Therefore it should be separate from Facebook ID. -- Fuzheado (talk) 02:41, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
