Motivation[edit]

Completeness along GOG application ID (P2725) or Steam application ID (P1733), also would be useful combined with Visual Novel Database ID (P3180) since there is a few VN on itch.io Misc (talk) 19:42, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to use the full URL here, since itch.io has 1 website per creator, so using a external_id would requires some more complex transformation than just a prefix (like gog.com allow). A regexp matching would be fine, not sure if this can be done (something like https://$1.itch.io/$2 with external_id matched against (\S+)/(\S+) ). 

# All itch.io URLs 
SELECT ?item ?itemLabel (SAMPLE(?typeLabel) as ?nature) ?propertyLabel ?url
WITH {
  SELECT ?property WHERE {
    ?property rdf:type wikibase:Property.
    ?property wikibase:propertyType wikibase:Url .
  }
} AS %properties
WITH {
  SELECT ?item ?url ?property WHERE {
    INCLUDE %properties .
    ?property wikibase:directClaim ?wdt.
    ?item ?wdt ?url.
    FILTER regex (STR(?url), "itch.io").
  }
} AS %items
WHERE {
  INCLUDE %items.
  ?item wdt:P31 ?type.
  SERVICE wikibase:label {
    bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". 
    ?type rdfs:label ?typeLabel.
    ?item rdfs:label ?itemLabel.
    ?property rdfs:label ?propertyLabel.
  }
} GROUP BY ?item ?itemLabel ?propertyLabel ?url
Try it!
  • The proposed format is not an identifier used on that site nor does it allow to generate urls directly at Wikidata. The only advantage I see it that it might save 15 bytes per value. --- Jura 07:42, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support either way (URL or compound ID). Another small advantage of using this compound ID method is that if they change their URL format somewhere down the track, we can adapt more easily. --99of9 (talk) 03:20, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I have been thinking a lot about this, and I see more and more where Jura1 is coming from. I’m not sure I care either way − I think I’m just more "used" to the idea of IDs and compound IDs (pun intended ;)) than URLs. I wonder if this would be worth bringing to the Project chat to get more opinions involved? Jean-Fred (talk) 09:34, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think this really ought to be a URL, let's not invent our own formats and use a proxy to transform that into a URL. That is really against the philosophy of the semantic web I would say. − Pintoch (talk) 21:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Marking as not ready while the datatype and the examples do not match. − Pintoch (talk) 21:10, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would prefer it as external ID even if the content of the property is an url. On the pages of items the external IDs are sorted at the bottom and I think this belongs at the place where all the other IDs are listed. Listing some stores in the external ID section while listing others in the regular section is inconsistent. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:12, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think we should use external-ids for URLs merely because Wikidata's GUI is (currently) suboptimal. Maybe you could just follow up on the requests to improve this. --- Jura 15:54, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Misc, ChristianKl, Jura1: Another proposal was made at Wikidata:Property proposal/Itch.io ID and the property now created at itch.io URL (P7294). Jean-Fred (talk) 21:08, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
