Formatter URL

@Alicia Fagerving (WMSE): Hi! What did you wanted to say with this edits? If you meant that the formatter URL should apply only if the ID format matches ^(?!SE).+, then 1) property applies if regular expression matches (P8460) now should be used for expressing this and 2) which formatter URL should apply instead when the regular expression is not matched?

Moreover, why did you remove the link to viss.lansstyrelsen.se? Horcrux (talk) 10:38, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Alicia Fagerving (WMSE): Could you please answer? --Horcrux (talk) 13:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry you weren't cooperative on this. I have rollbacked this edit of yours. --Horcrux (talk) 13:35, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Links are not correct anymore and may have been superseeded

Hi, the page behind the link to the Wikidata Property Example "Orlangen" states a Status:Deprecated - superseded with a change date 2023 and a replacement link.

I've also tested several IDs from https://viss.lansstyrelsen.se/ (VISS EU_CD) and for none of them the link created for P2856 values leads anywhere. Links created with values for "Lake ID (Sweden)" (P761) do work, so the numbers are ok. I guess the Property:P2856 needs an update but I have no clue how such pages work. Whoever has has set up this page (@Horcrux ?), would you mind to update the links and definitions? Uli@wiki (talk) 13:06, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@Uli@wiki: I'm sorry but I don't know how to help with this. --Horcrux (talk) 13:37, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
