- Pro URL fragments treated like external ids, ChristianKl? --Succu (talk) 21:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- I support the general property and don't care strongly about the datatype. I would favor external-id but not very much. ChristianKl (talk) 21:46, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- See e.g. Encyclopædia Britannica Online ID (P1417) for similar URL/external-id structure. (t) Josve05a (c) 14:28, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

- This seems okay, but it is still in its early stages, with lots of pages that are almost completely empty. It is promising rather than valuable. - Brya (talk) 10:53, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Weak support. The sightings data seems to be the only offering at the moment that might be unique, if it is then it's worthwhile linking to the site. If that data is available elsewhere then maybe not. No opinion on the datatype. Thryduulf (talk) 17:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
@Josve05a, ChristianKl, Succu, Brya, Thryduulf: 
Done Now Butterflies and Moths of North America ID (P3398). I have not found a decisive argument against this use of the "external identifier" datatype, so I kept it as proposed. Lymantria (talk) 15:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
