Recategorisation of Te Papa authority ID
editThe 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)
- Changed on the sandbox, example below

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).
{'AUSPARL',
property = 10020,
section = 6,
pattern = '[0-9A-Z]+',
link = 'https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=$1',
label = 'Parliament of Australia MP ID',
},
GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Could the label be shortened somehow? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:41, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps AUPARL, similar to UKPARL? GMH Melbourne (talk) 09:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)- @MSGJ: Sorry, I misread your question, perhaps "Australian Parliament", "AUS Parliament", or "Parliament of Australia" could work? — GMH Melbourne (talk) 10:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Happy with whichever one of those you think is best. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:25, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: Australian Parliament GMH Melbourne (talk) 14:17, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- 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)

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)
- @GMH Melbourne: are there additional edits to be made, or is this resolved? Rjjiii (talk) 22:49, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Rjjiii Yes, at Module:Authority control/config, replace
'https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=$1'
with'https://handbook.aph.gov.au/Parliamentarian/$1'
GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:22, 9 June 2024 (UTC)- Done and tested. MSGJ, I made the change directly to the live template after testing with URLs. Do I also need to make the change to /sandbox or /staging for the future? Rjjiii (talk) 05:13, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Rjjiii Yes, at Module:Authority control/config, replace
EU MEP (1186) addition
editMEP directory ID (P1186) might be interesting and straightforward to implement. Ipr1 (talk) 05:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Note that there is template {{MEP directory ID}} which used currently. Ipr1 (talk) 18:03, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
ELMCIP ID (P12204)
editI propose that we add the ELMCIP ID (P12204) that links to the ELMCIP Knowledge Base (Q113705072). It would go in the Other section. Peaceray (talk) 04:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
