Given one of the above, the Wikidata API will always return the current Wikipedia URI, in German or any other preferred (or other available, as a fallback) language. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
