Uzume has made some changes to Module:Authority control/config and Module:Authority control/auxiliary without any discussion. I'm opening this thread to give him/her the chance to explain and justify these changes — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:54, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[0123456789bcdfghjkmnpqrstvwxz]. It also still uses a Lua pattern to ensure the rest of the string is exactly eight decimal digits. I would be interested to hear if you find any false positives or negatives with the "check digit" algorithm. I personally think Wikidata should redefine Bibliothèque nationale de France ID (P268) to just be the eight digits and use something else to generate the identifier links (including the check digit) but that is a different problem needing a bigger solution (since it affects nearly 700k Wikidata items and numerous templates and thereby even more pages at several WMF sites that are consuming the Wikidata items). —Uzume (talk) 14:07, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]The ID for Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Collections Online is currently categorised 'Artists' but this database includes a wide range of people, organisations, and other entities like vessels. Should it be changed to 'Other'? Avocadobabygirl (talk) 22:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Edit Module:Authority control/config to insert Parliament of Australia ID underneath "ARLHS":
Note: tested at Module:Authority control/sandbox and works accordingly (see here and here).

Done. For future info, we have Module:Authority control/config/staging to prepare code for deploying to live version. So you can leave people's experiments in Module:Authority control/config/sandbox — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]Sorry! I have found a better URL from which 'https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=$1' is sourced from. It is https://handbook.aph.gov.au/Parliamentarian/$1 I have already changed it in the wikidata property. Thank you. GMH Melbourne (talk) 16:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
