NFL.com ID[edit]
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Sports
| Description | This is a property to replace the rotted NFL.com ID (former scheme) (P3539). Unfortunately this has not been handled well as people tried to either deprecate the rotted links (not correct) or repurpose the old property for the new format (also not correct). |
|---|---|
| Data type | External identifier |
| Template parameter | nflwd at en:Template:Infobox NFL player |
| Domain | American football players |
| Allowed values | [a-z-]+\d? |
| Example 1 | Brian Schweda (Q24810030) → brian-schweda |
| Example 2 | Larry Allen (Q25464) → larry-allen |
| Example 3 | Warren Moon (Q126710) → warren-moon |
| Formatter URL | https://www.nfl.com/players/$1 |
| See also | NFL.com ID (former scheme) (P3539) |
Motivation[edit]
The current situation is very bad. Some items have the old numeric ids. Some were incorrectly converted to the new format that would be used for this new property. And some are randomly deprecated. We should point the old property at an archive.org url and keep them undeprecated. Unravelling this mess won't be easy. Hopefully those involved in making it will help undo it.

Discussion[edit]
Support I agree, this property is desperately needed. --Nashona (talk) 11:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
