Motivation
[edit]This new property will make it much easier to track items about Ukrainian natural objects in Wikidata, and so, it will be easier to update such items with valuable information, like images or sizes of area. Also, it is a valuable external identifier, as it links to an entry in a table of natural objects, which was provided by the government and published by the WLE-UA organizers, and which holds a lot of useful information.

Discussion
[edit]- This is an identifiers invented by Wikimedians or based on something external? Multichill (talk) 10:48, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- It is invented by wikimedians (first five digits are Classification of objects of the administrative-territorial system of Ukraine (Q1564708) code of administrative unit and last four are the sequence number), but there are no official government identifiers for natural objects, so this is the best we can have. Government keeps account of all natural objects in Ukraine, but they do not publish their lists anywhere. WLE organizers each year write a request to the Ministry of Environmental Protection for those lists, and after receiving them, publish them. Those lists have information about natural objects which is hard to find elsewhere, if possible at all. --Tohaomg (talk) 08:24, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Tohaomg: When Wiki Loves Monuments was started, we allowed these kind of made up id's because we had no alternative. Now we have an alternative: Wikidata. Instead of introducing a new made up foreign key here, I would introduce the Wikidata qid in your dataset. That way you can link everything together. Take for example w:uk:Вікіпедія:Вікі любить Землю/Черкаська область. See for example w:nl:Lijst van rijksmonumenten in Vogelenzang how I added the wikidata item on the Dutch Wikipedia.

Comment @Tohaomg, Multichill: Completely internal external-ID, I am unable to give an opinion, perhaps a URL type. —Eihel (talk) 01:24, 24 August 2020 (UTC)- @Tohaomg, Multichill, Eihel:
