It looks as if there is no longer a way to directly link to an entry, only the index. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:23, 31 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've just had a go at calling the REST interface in Template:Gazetteer of Australia/sandbox --Scott Davis Talk 05:25, 7 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
This is good. It would be pretty trivial to set up a website to make this request, return as JSON, and pass it through some simple XSLT to display it nicely at a nice sensible URL. Is it something in the scope of Wikimedia Australia to be the host for something like this I wonder? Did you mention this to JarrahTree at the meetup, ScottDavis?

FYI WMAU doesnt get involved with content issues as such - but I do know that specific oz eds are involved in or are enthusiastic about linking with datasets JarrahTree 14:05, 30 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
