Recategorisation of Te Papa authority ID
[edit]The ID for Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Collections Online is currently categorised 'Artists' but this database includes a wide range of people, organisations, and other entities like vessels. Should it be changed to 'Other'? Avocadobabygirl (talk) 22:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Changed on the sandbox, example below

[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Description of suggested change: Edit Module:Authority control/config to insert Parliament of Australia ID underneath "ARLHS":
Note: tested at Module:Authority control/sandbox and works accordingly (see here and here).
{'AUSPARL',
property = 10020,
section = 6,
pattern = '[0-9A-Z]+',
link = 'https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=$1',
label = 'Parliament of Australia MP ID',
},
GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Could the label be shortened somehow? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:41, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps AUPARL, similar to UKPARL? GMH Melbourne (talk) 09:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)- @MSGJ: Sorry, I misread your question, perhaps "Australian Parliament", "AUS Parliament", or "Parliament of Australia" could work? — GMH Melbourne (talk) 10:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Happy with whichever one of those you think is best. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:25, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: Australian Parliament GMH Melbourne (talk) 14:17, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done. For future info, we have Module:Authority control/config/staging to prepare code for deploying to live version. So you can leave people's experiments in Module:Authority control/config/sandbox — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry! I have found a better URL from which 'https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=$1' is sourced from. It is https://handbook.aph.gov.au/Parliamentarian/$1 I have already changed it in the wikidata property. Thank you. GMH Melbourne (talk) 16:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- @GMH Melbourne: are there additional edits to be made, or is this resolved? Rjjiii (talk) 22:49, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Rjjiii Yes, at Module:Authority control/config, replace
'https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Parliamentarian?MPID=$1'
with'https://handbook.aph.gov.au/Parliamentarian/$1'
GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:22, 9 June 2024 (UTC)- Done and tested. MSGJ, I made the change directly to the live template after testing with URLs. Do I also need to make the change to /sandbox or /staging for the future? Rjjiii (talk) 05:13, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Rjjiii Yes, at Module:Authority control/config, replace
EU MEP (1186) addition
[edit]MEP directory ID (P1186) might be interesting and straightforward to implement. Ipr1 (talk) 05:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Note that there is template {{MEP directory ID}} which used currently. Ipr1 (talk) 18:03, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
