InciWeb

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

   Done: InciWeb ID (P8582) (Talk and documentation)

Description	InciWeb is the United States federal website that provides data related to wildfires on federal land, including day to day updates on the status of the fire, location, damage, fire crew work, photographs, videos, closures, announcements and more. Each incident (fire) has its own incident number. This would allow us to ensure each wildfire has a link to its appropriate InciWeb page. All InciWeb information is public domain under United States federal law.
Data type	External identifier
Domain	wildfire (Q169950)
Allowed values	\d+
Example 1	East Canyon Fire (Q96574025) → 6776
Example 2	Lump Gulch Fire (Q96619152) → 6770
Example 3	Mangum Fire (Q96418877) → 6748
Source	https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/
Planned use	We are entering wildfire season here in the western United States, so I'll be adding it to current and past wildfires on Wikidata.

Expected completeness	always incomplete (Q21873886) (new wildfires all the time)
Formatter URL	https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/$1

Motivation

I write a lot about wildfires, and I'm sure the folks at Wikipedia's Wildfire Project would appreciate this, too. It is just another data source for Wikidata and the Wikimedia Community. Thank you for your consideration! (I don't really know if this is the right section for this, I was sort of at a loss on where to put it!) Missvain (talk) 04:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
