Hi all,
Hope you are all safe and well. After having finalized our plans for WLM integration into the Commons app based on community feedback (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mobile_app/WLM , which was posted to this mailing list a couple of months ago), we have started work on implementation.
Realistically speaking, it would be really difficult for us to account for every possible identifier that every country uses, and it would also make stability and maintenance much more tricky. We can try, but it would be risky and tedious.
On the other hand, it was suggested to me that if there is WLM community consensus that P2186 should be used as a universal identifier, countries might be willing to adopt P2186 for the sake of harmonization.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Many thanks.
Best regards,
