• What's the age of sail? Can you make that clear in the property description? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 14:13, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

  Thanks for doing that, but I'm puzzled why the ID is a number when I added it to HMS Victory (Q213958) not a link to an external page. Compared with the very similar Three Decks people ID (P7389) which works as I'd expect, I can't see a discrepancy. Vicarage (talk) 14:52, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

I think that has to do with the way formatter URLs are updated. IIRC it should show a link within 24 hours of the property having its formatter URL set or changed. Infrastruktur (talk) 15:26, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
