Discussion

•  Support - this looks great. Is it possible to simplify the ID further, though? It looks like Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Act, 2009 (Q4763703) works OK with just 2009/act/1 - it doesn't seem to need /enacted at the end of the ID or /en in the formatter. Similarly for SIs, 2020/si/1 seems to work. Andrew Gray (talk) 17:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

It would be nice to simplify the ID, but I encountered some issues while experimenting with it. While the removing /enacted (or /made in the case of SIs) still leads you to what appears to be the correct page, the 'View Full Act' button on the page no longer seem to work. Additionally, the website recommends linking in this format. See http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/pdf/ELI_URI_schema.pdf for details. I have no issue either way as long as the identifiers work as expected. Teester (talk) 22:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
