Hi Lydia, If a separate section is needed for identifiers, I do not care. From the user perspective point of view my question would be what happens when a user tries to add an identifier in the statements section instead of the identifiers section? Besides users are used to add identifier

Hi! Quick hack: On your user common.js page, add: importScript( 'User:Magnus Manske/ext-props.js' ); Thanks a lot, looks nice! I think you missed a few there: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1015 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1005 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P949

Hoi, Reasonator is read only in the sense that the display does not update itself when you make an edit from it through Widar. Even that is not strictly true; the label of the article itself will update when you add a label in your language and once it has been included in Wikidata. I really

Ah, as Markus mentions, since we already have https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/ Property:P214 Then the rest of the problem is just a readability issue. So there is no need for renaming property names as I suggested and suffixing with ID P214 solves the grouping problem fairly easily. And Lydia

Why do you have to get lost in them ? Most already have the phrase ID or Identifier in their naming convention. So perhaps a better approach would be to standardize the naming convention used for External Identifiers and make it a best practice and golden rule during property creation and
