Format

the full code format is actually "xx xx xx xxx xxx xxx". See [1]

xx 00 00 000 000 000 for Province level division

xx xx 00 000 000 000 for prefecture level division

xx xx xx 000 000 000 for county level division

... ...

I support ignoring the trailing zeros. So does User:Stevenliuyi --凡其_Fanchy 14:31, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I changed the pattern above .. feel free to tweak it further. --  Docu  at 14:33, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

\d\d\(\d\d\(\d\d\(\d\d\d\(\d\d\d\d\d\d\)\?\)\?\)\?\)\?(vim regex format).

I tried this format. In this way, no space will be toleranted. Also I noticed that there is no code like xx xx xx xxx xxx 000.

xx xx xx xxx 000 000 for townships

xx xx xx xxx xxx xxx for the villages. the last 3 digits are for classification.--凡其_Fanchy 15:14, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Format#1:xx[ xx[ xx[ xxx[ xxx xxx]]]]

I changed the pattern above according to 国家统计局设管司解读《统计用区划代码》和《统计用城乡划分代码》，统计用区划代码和城乡划分代码编制规则，GB/T2260-2007.

((1[1-5])|(2[1-3])|(3[1-7])|(4[1-6])|(5[0-4])|(6[1-5])|(71)|(8[1-2]))( ((0[1-9])|([1-6]\d)|(70))( ((0[1-9])|([1-9]\d))( ((00[1-9])|(0[1-9]\d)|([1-5]\d\d))( ((00[1-9])|(0[1-9]\d)|([1-5]\d\d)) ((11[1-2])|(12[1-3])|(2[1-2]0)))?)?)?)?

Spaces are used, because it is very easy for computer to eliminate spaces, but with spaces it will be more readable for human.--凡其_Fanchy 10:02, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Last 3 digits

I changed the pattern a bit to make the last three digits optional. It's not available from all sources (specifically, current data on Wikipedia). Also, as seen on pages like [2], they're actually another code, and maybe feasible for a new property. Liangent (talk) 08:13, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

This property's P625 constraint...

...has the largest set of items under a single combination of property--this property--and constraint type--"item with this should have that" (it's very clearly not the ones for P17 and P131 that are populating this set). I don't think anyone came to a consensus on whether the information in this GitHub repo could be imported; should this not be the case, is there any other plan to add coordinates (as well as, at the bare minimum, Pinyin names) for every Chinese village? (Or should we shudders remove that constraint entirely?)

@Mahir256: Nobody has the time at this moment. But it will be an interesting task as a simple project in a month. But why you bring up P625 here?--89.160.24.163 18:10, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

If you look at this property, you will notice that there is a requirement that items with a P442 statement also have a P625 statement (one of the 'item requires statement constraint' statements on this property). Importing the coordinates from the dataset I mentioned above would immediately (wholly?) rectify this problem. Mahir256 (talk) 18:14, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• Maybe it should be added with a (new) property for the local coordinate system. It does seem odd that we have plenty of items for these without any coordinates and fairly uninformative descriptions such as "village in China". --- Jura 18:15, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

The IP address was me. I get your question now. It doesn't make sense for P442 having constraints P625 to me. One is coordination. The other is zip code designed by people. It should be purely orthogonal.--Fantasticfears (talk) 22:59, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

@Fantasticfears: So you don't think that items that clearly represent geographical places, if they have identifiers in a catalogue of geographic places provided by the Chinese government, should have at least coordinate locations as a way to identify these geographical places on a map? Mahir256 (talk) 21:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@Mahir256: Of course it does. But the properties are not on top of each other. If we only have a geo point, it makes sense to put them together as properties of a location. If we have a region coordinates like Sweden, we might design something else.--Fantasticfears (talk) 13:57, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Show warning when updating statement

I have encountered various instances recently that users directly replaced out-of-date IDs with new IDs, instead of adding new statements and setting qualifier end time (P582) to old IDs. So I think probably we can warn users when they are trying to update exisiting IDs with an filter like:

'/* wbsetclaim-update:2||1 */ [[Property:P442]]' in summary

Also we can display a warning message like:

Warning: If you are trying to replace out-of-date value of China administrative division code (P442), you should create a new statement for the new value with qualifier start time (P580) and preferred rank, and then add qualifier end time (P582) to the old value.

Any thoughts? --Stevenliuyi (talk) 00:50, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
