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”:

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.

As someone very intimidated and overwhelmed by the

agree the list of elements is too long. I was trying to update Authority
Control for a Wikipedia entry and it was a lot of scrolling around to make
sure I wasn't adding duplicates, etc. A Table of Contents would be a huge
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 -

any thoughts?
