•  Comment Why this property should be used on items, lexemes and senses instead of just items or senses? Midleading (talk) 09:53, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

  I think we should limit this to lexemes only. So9q (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 Comment @UWashPrincipalCataloger, Tinker Bell, Emwille, Kiwigirl3850, Midleading, So9q: this property is almost ready for creation but it would be good to clarify the domain of use first. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 11:05, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

• @VIGNERON: I've revised it to just items and lexemes. AdamSeattle (talk) 01:27, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
• For items I think the ID only makes sense as a reference. Infrastruktur (talk) 11:37, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

• IIRC Krbot might not generate constraint reports if there is different property scopes for items and lexemes so perhaps it's best to be permissive here? Edit: Nevermind, I was thinking of property constraints using the constraint scope qualifier here. Infrastruktur (talk) 11:43, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

In general, I think external identifiers should always be allowed as statements.

I might also use it as a qualifier on “described by source” statements. PKM (talk) 20:35, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Ok. That some people would like a more restrictive property scope, myself included, is not a good reason to delay property creation. So as far as I'm concerned this proposal is ready for creation. Infrastruktur (talk) 17:30, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
