A project for Wikipedians using Unique Identifiers (UIDs) for article subjects; particularly where a more specific UID project does not already exist.
Aims
[edit]- To improve articles about UID schemes
- To standardise and encourage the use of UIDs in articles
- To formulate and deploy a policy for redirecting URLs for UIDs to articles (see UID interface to Wikipedia)
- To collaborate with Wikidata and DBpedia regarding the use of UIDs
- To develop MediaWiki feature requests relating to UIDs, if needed
- To liaise with external UID providers and consumers
To-do
[edit]- Work out how to achieve UID access to wikipedia articles
- Improve project templates (logo; category/ies; switch for non-article pages)
- invite relevant editors to join
