- Motivation
The Guardian (Q11148) is a substantial British newspaper; now with US and Australian outposts. As shown on the examples, topics may be first- (/music) or second-tier (music/aretha-franklin). Template:Guardian topic (Q14396650) exits in 18 Wikipedias. en.Wikipedia alone has 280 of these topics, in templates, with potential for many more.

Comment @Pigsonthewing: I think you've transposed your examples? Thryduulf (talk)
- Fixed. Thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:42, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Is there a source page for these (outside of enwiki)? Is there a commitment to keep the links stable? It's not clear to me they are consistent even between sites - for example I (in the US) seem to see US topics when I hit the "browse all sections" - and the labels don't seem to always match the url, for example "Arts" which links to "us/culture", "Small business" links to "business/us-small-business". Maybe better as a string than an external-id datatype. ArthurPSmith (talk)
- The ID (and it is an external ID) is the URL slug, not any text that may be used in a link to it. I (using a UK ISP) can access any of https://www.theguardian.com/uk/culture or https://www.theguardian.com/us/culture or https://www.theguardian.com/au/culture - which therefore represent three distinct IDs.

Support ok, I think that makes sense. Might as well have this in wikidata then. I do agree it should be external identifier assuming it is applied to items that are the topics of those pages as in your examples. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)- Support per the above. Thryduulf (talk) 19:41, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
