Motivation[edit]
DACS ID (former) (P4663) was set up for IDs of the type [0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}. DACS now uses a different form of ID: ARTS followed by 6 digits. The former ID is still available through the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive, so I have changed the formatter URL on DACS ID (former) (P4663) to access the archived pages. This proposal is to establish a separate ID for DACS ID with the new IDs. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 20:11, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Support However the former ID has been used 65,000 times, is there a plan to add this to all those items, i.e. a mapping from old to new perhaps? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

- Support, an important property for policy.--Arbnos (talk) 17:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support why not "ARTS" in the formatter and have a clean numeric ID Germartin1 (talk) 12:05, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
