If exists an online database then the internal id of the url can be used as identifier and for deeplinking. For Barcelona we have faced a special case with protected monuments not included in other registers. We have used the local identifier and a prefix with the municipality code: 08019/1234, that is 08019 as the official code for Barcelona and 1234 as a local id. Using a slash as separator is useful as wiki templates can split the two parts.
