Motivation

Current IDs for rivers don't provide much info apart from the location. This gives river cross sections and charts water flow and levels over time. 99of9 (talk) 14:12, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

•  Support. I also updated the regex to use "+" instead of "*". In other words, empty values aren't allowed. Dhx1 (talk) 14:27, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. The leading [1-9] will ensure the string is not empty. The extra \d characters could in principle be unused. --99of9 (talk) 14:36, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

@99of9: Oops I completely misread the first regex. Thanks for reverting! Dhx1 (talk) 15:21, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

•  Support. Good to have our most important resource, water, better identified. Oronsay (talk) 20:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Support MargaretRDonald (talk) 20:24, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Support. Will be very useful. Lots of ambiguity around stream names in enwiki at least. A unique identifier will help (at least for NSW). -- Mattinbgn (talk) 22:56, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

• @99of9: I tried to create this property but an automatic check failed: example value "412106" does not match regular expression regex: [1-9]\d*.. Please fix your proposal and your property will be created shortly. This is an automated message but do not hesitate to ping me if you need any help. − Pintoch (talk) 18:29, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
