Motivation

(This proposal has been superseded by Wikidata:Property proposal/EMIS codes for Pakistani provinces.)

This will provide authority control for Pakistani schools, mainly those with a government affiliation. The present state of the property proposal allows for the codes of multiple EMISes to be safely used with a single property; I don't know if there are EMISes (or if they exist, how to access them) containing information about schools in Islamabad, the former FATA, Azad Kashmir, or Gilgit-Baltistan.

Given that there are distinct EMISes for the provinces of Pakistan, should there be different properties for each region (which would allow the ISO 3166-2 prefix to be removed)? Mahir256 (talk) 04:16, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

• @Jinoytommanjaly, Dhx1, ArthurPSmith: The question I had above about potentially splitting this property still stands. Mahir256 (talk) 19:17, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
  • @Mahir256: I did read your question there but I assumed you didn't have a good reason for splitting. If there were separate formatter URL's for each region or something that would be a justification; just shortening the codes I don't think is sufficient. Is there any kind of formatter URL here at all that would work? ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
    • @ArthurPSmith: There may be useful ones for Punjab and Sindh (using the examples of schools in those provinces); can't find any for the other two. Mahir256 (talk) 02:02, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
      • Ok, that may be reason enough. Feel free to propose new properties and withdraw this one if you feel that's the right way to go! ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:52, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
