The canonical form for VIAF URIs is http://viaf.org/viaf/66488489. That’s the 
form used in the VIAF linked data and informally declared on the HTML page as 
the “Permalink”:

[cid:CA6352AE-CBDB-4BE0-B533-FA07AE44A508]

Subject: Re: [Wikidata] Aren't pages too long?

That would be great, very helpful. Would this be a problematic value exists 
check, in terms of creating a lag in responsiveness?

I am also not clear on the fact that one of the Authority Control elements is 
populating in the top Statements section vs. the lower Identifiers section --

i.e., ISNI for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1160089

I wanted to update Father Berrigan's Authority Control and am having a really 
difficult time knowing what the best practices are -- if best practices exist 
-- for the reference area of Wikidata Identifiers. I would pull from the bottom 
"History" section here on VIAF -- 
https://viaf.org/viaf/66488489/#Berrigan,_Daniel. -- as the reference for these.

It's probably me thinking of references as they exist on Wikipedia vs. how they 
exist on Wikidata. But I've seen references on Wikidata presented in different 
ways, so wasn't sure.

A duplicates check seems a good idea - I've wondered about this
before, having added a lot of duplicate values in the past!

A quick UI suggestion - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134371 -
any thoughts?
