How are these IDs constructed? Is there a risk that they will get very long (in terms of characters per ID)? Equinox ◑ 02:34, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
- Wikidata IDs are "Q" followed by a number. Maybe you already know some of this, but I'll continue explaining as you asked. The number increments automatically by 1 each time a new data item is created. As of now, the newest data items created have these IDs, as per d:Special:NewPages: d:Q43725826, d:Q43725827, d:Q43725828... You get the picture. These new IDs have 8 digits. If I created an ID today for a small town that still didn't have any ID, it would have 8 digits too. Someday, IDs will get 9 digits. (this link should work at some point in the future: d:123456789) I'm not sure how many is too many digits. Maybe I'm right in assuming our sun will die before we get to the ID d:123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789.
- The newest data IDs created that I mentioned in the first paragraph above are for scientific articles, including "T validity of the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in children under two years of age". It seems Wikidata accepts data IDs for basically any concept, including the color "green" (w:Q3133), but as discussed somewhere in Wiktionary:Wikidata, they don't accept IDs for words themselves like "green", "verde", "vert". However, they have been working in creating a separate database of words in the future. Wikidata does have an ID for the phrase "carpe diem" (d:Q190273) because Wikipedia has the article w:carpe diem.
- A Wikidata ID may exist for any page of any Wikimedia project. (except our mainspace, because it's about words, not concepts) d:Q2695156 is Batman, d:Q116852 is one Batman film (the 1989 one by Tim Burton) and d:Q2111133 is about all Batman films -- because Wikipedia has articles for those things. d:Q43382135 is the ID for a Wikinews article: "Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe resigns presidency after military coup, threat of impeachment". --Daniel Carrero (talk) 07:09, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
- So basically a sequential serial number. Yeah, they will take a while to become really long. Thanks. Equinox ◑ 07:19, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
- That's nice. You're welcome. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 07:28, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
How can we catch "ID vandalism", where someone subtly messes with the ID numbers? Wikipedia probably has some strategies (same deal there with chemical formulae etc.). Equinox ◑ 19:04, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
