Comment For external IDs, string is not the correct data type. The current proposed data type should be changed to |datatype = external-id. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 03:15, 30 October 2023 (UTC)- Support Mcampany (talk) 12:55, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Comment I am a bit unhappy with having the strings "museums/" and "artists/" as part of the ID, when clearly they're just part of the URL pattern (and not even a necessary one, as the first letter of the ID clearly distinguishes the categories (M for museum, A for artist, W for work). While I don't suppose creating three different properties is a good idea, I would like to raise this issue with the database hosts and ask them if they have a way to redirect to the longer URL form by using just the ID without the preceding strings "museums/" and "artists/".
