This discussion should be on a prominent place at wikidata because the community has to decide about this.

I assume we're still talking abiut things to link into a Wikidata entry? I could see a place for official social media accounts, and even for the related Wikia site, but definitely not for fan sites.

Hey,
It woud be great to have keys into other databases from Wikidata. I'd
be
happy to contribute Freebase IDs to matching Wikidata concepts.
However, I'm
wondering if it really makes sense to have a separate property for
every type
of ID. Shouldn't it be modeled more like interwiki links so that each
concept
has many foreign keys each with an associated data source. That's how
we've
modeled it in Freebase and it scales quite well.
If I'm not mistaken this is what we plan to do. The current system
we're using
for the language links can certainly handle it, as it's not WP specific.
I would love to see equivalency links to other sites with stable identifiers, such as IMDb and MusicBrainz.
What would the linking policy be for the wider web? We are interested in:
- Official Twitter
- Official Facebook
- Official Homepage(s) and blogs
- Fan sites
MusicBrainz have done quite a lot of work on this, for example: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Category:External_Website_Relationship_Class
They also have some nice JavaScript in their editor to make sure that
URLs
are consistently formatted for well-known sites.
