- Good idea, Entertainment Identifier Registry (Q5323129) also already stores Common Sense IDs. However, they don't use part of the URL, they use two different identifiers used by Common Sense: a normal ID ("domain: commonsense.org/nid") and an Universally Unique Identifier (Q195284) (UUID). See for example this record for Avengers: Age of Ultron (Q14171368). Such IDs are usually much preferrable to just using parts of the current URL, since URLs can change any time but IDs stay the same.
- The first ID there links to an URL that redirects to the corresponding Common Sense page. These IDs aren't present on the Common Sense pages themselves or in the URLs, but can easily be found in the HTML source. So this one could easily be used on Wikidata with a formatter URL. The UUID on the other hand doesn't seem to be present in the source code, so it's not easily available. But their API documentation says "We are transitioning over our unique identifiers to using UUIDs from IDs. Please store both UUIDs and IDs to future-proof your data.". But for the UUID, someone would probably need to get an API key to get the list of IDs. --Kam Solusar (talk) 16:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Oppose There's several reasons I'm against this property as it is:
game-reviews/fortniteis not an ID. It's a generated url for SEO purposes.- There is an actual integer ID for all of these: For the 3 examples in the page, they are:
- When you look at the source of the page, there's two links defined in the header to access the page:
<link rel="canonical" href="/movie-reviews/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse" />and<link rel="shortlink" href="/node/6065809" />. We should use the "shortlink" url that exposes the real immutable ID. --Deansfa (talk) 14:39, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- I'm withdrawing my proposal; I was unaware of the more stable ID. Trivialist (talk) 02:50, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
