If you change the datatype for identifiers from string and the other properties with string datatype are changed to monolingual then we won't have much need for the string datatype On 6 Apr 2015 15:09, "Lydia Pintscher" lydia.pintscher@wikimedia.de wrote:

Quick hack: On your user common.js page, add: importScript( 'User:Magnus Manske/ext-props.js' );
This will "move" all statements for external IDs (to be exact, all properties with a "URL formatter" property) to the sidebar. The statements in the main body are just hidden; there is a toggle link
in
the sidebar to make them visible again, qualifiers and all.
This is, of course, just a demo to show what the main body would look
like
without such statements.
Magnus, as always you're a treasure ;-) I hadn't thought about the toggle option yet.
So let me summarize the options I see for identifiers:
- we give them their own section below statements
- we give them their own section in the right sidebar and have some
compact way of showing and editing references and qualifiers 3) we do both of the above and have a way to toggle between the two
I initially was set on 2 but am coming around to 2. 3 seems like the easiest way out right now but it'll feel awkward to new users.
On the technical side I see the following options to identify which statements to group into the identifiers section:
- we make them sitelinks
- we we give them a special datatype (We should be able to migrate
the existing ones in a one-time operation without changing their property IDs) 3) we rely on a statement on the property 4) we have a list in the wiki configuration
1 seems bad because we'd lose references and qualifiers 3 seems problematic from a performance point 4 is ugly and not maintainable So I am coming around to 2.
Cheers Lydia
