These codes are displayed prominently in the contents and URL of each Waymarking entry. Some Waymarking categories demonstrate notability. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 09:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Seems an interesting enough website, with quite a lot of potential for usage on notable items covering the globe. It seems like there's a lot of (identical!) duplicates for many locations though, e.g. Greyfriars Church, Reading (Q5608388) -> WM15245, WM15246, WM1524H and WM1524J. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 11:26, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lewis Hulbert: Interesting, WM15246 only exists to say that Wikipedia has an article about the place, which is to say that Wikidata has an item about the place. The "Wikipedia Entries" category would illustrate Citogenesis (Q18614873) pretty well, so maybe it shouldn't demonstrate notability? Minh Nguyễn ^💬 01:39, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And some ID created by the same person, but each ID has the content of the Wikipedia article. —Eihel (talk) 13:43, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mxn: What do you mean by « "Wikipedia Entries" category »? A link? —Eihel (talk) 14:28, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question @Mxn:, With Lewis Hulbert's examples, are you sure to use "single value constraint = yes" and "unique" in title? Since there are multiple possible values, this parameter does not allow you to add them all. Regards. —Eihel (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
