Discussion

 Support This could indeed be useful for connecting movie theater entities that are in use today to the Bioguiden database --Sverigesbiografer (talk) 14:49, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

• If "cityid=" is part of every identifier, shouldn't that be incorporated into the formatter so it doesn't have to be given as part of the identifier? UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 16:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 Support to include the Bioguiden database in Wikidata. That said, I really don't like how this identifier looks like. It looks so random and unstable. Couldn't the programmers come up with something more human-readable? With this ID you could probably identify all atoms in the universe, seems like quite the overkill for the couple hundered cinemas I expect Sweden to have... --Anvilaquarius (talk) 18:29, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
