Motivation[edit]
This is a fairly extensive architecture database maintained at the University of Washington Libraries. It seems useful to be able to bring in these IDs, especially for West Coast architects, buildings and firms that are less well-covered by other sources. Certainstars (talk) 20:48, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Comment You can't have 3 different formatter URL's for one property. Are the numeric ID's (1364 etc from your examples) unique across the different types? If so perhaps there's a better formatter URL that works for any type? Otherwise you will need to prefix the numeric values with the type - I've edited your examples to do this right now. The other option is 3 different properties here. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I was initially unsure how best to handle that. The numeric IDs are not unique across types, so I think prefixing the numeric value with type, as you've done, makes the most sense: seems tidier than creating three properties. Thank you! Certainstars (talk) 18:49, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

- Comment. Creating 3 properties would be better for constraints. Thierry Caro (talk) 10:29, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
Oppose I think we need three separate identifiers. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:34, 3 August 2018 (UTC)- Oppose @Certainstars: you probably want to start Wikidata:Property proposal/Pacific Coast Architecture Database person ID, Wikidata:Property proposal/Pacific Coast Architecture Database building ID & Wikidata:Property proposal/Pacific Coast Architecture Database firm ID. I expect everyone to give the thumbs up for these. Multichill (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks all for your feedback in getting this figured out. It's my first time proposing a property, so I really appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to get back to this in a bit, but will work on creating the three separate proposals. --Certainstars (talk) 00:48, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

- Comment Update: P:P5745 has been created (see Wikidata:Property_proposal/Pacific_Coast_Architecture_Database_person_ID. Holding off on the firm and building IDs for now as they're not as immediately relevant to what I've been working on, but support anyone else proposing/creating them. How do I withdraw this proposal?
