Undiscovered Scotland ID[edit]
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control
| Description | identifier for a page on the Undiscovered Scotland website |
|---|---|
| Represents | Undiscovered Scotland (Q113699295) |
| Data type | External identifier |
| Domain | mostly geographic location (Q2221906), but there are also some biographies, a few regular events, and even a handful of recipes, so perhaps best left general. There are also some general history and practical orientation articles, some of which we may be able to match. |
| Allowed values | [/a-z\.]* |
| Example 1 | Whithorn (Q1788927) → whithorn/whithorn |
| Example 2 | Leadhills (Q1810466) → leadhills/leadhills |
| Example 3 | Museum of the Isles (Q113363708) → skye/museumoftheisles |
| Example 4 | Calton Hill (Q1199959) → edinburgh/caltonhill |
| Example 5 | Forth Bridge (Q275) → queensferry/forthrailbridge |
| Example 6 | Tam Dalyell of the Binns (Q4154150) → usbiography/d/tamdalyell.html |
| Example 7 | cranachan (Q2628185) → usrecipes/cranachan |
| Example 8 | Scottish Enlightenment (Q1063038) → usscotfax/history/enlightenment.html |
| Example 9 | East Lothian (Q207257) → usfeatures/areas/eastlothian.html |
| Source | A-Z indexes, thematic categories |
| External links | Use in sister projects: [ar] • [de] • [en] • [es] • [fr] • [he] • [it] • [ja] • [ko] • [nl] • [pl] • [pt] • [ru] • [sv] • [vi] • [zh] • [commons] • [species] • [wd] • [en.wikt] • [fr.wikt]. |
| Planned use | Strategy probably first to go through the A-Z index and match all place/place entries there as settlements; then go through the categories, matching with the assistance of the geographic location and feature-type, then finally look through the scotfax section to see which pages there are where we may have an exact existing match already specific to Scotland. |
| Number of IDs in source | 2850 |

Motivation[edit]
Undiscovered Scotland (Q113699295) is a site with extensive descriptions of places of interest (settlements, museums, historic sites, etc) in Scotland. I believe it would be a useful resource for Wikidata (and Commons categories) to systematically index and link to, in particular for its content on smaller and often less well-known places and museums. We should already have existing items for almost all entries; any that we do not have items for, we probably should have. -- Jheald (talk) 10:49, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
