             Bug #: 36887
           Summary: minimal VIAF and GND / PND length
           Product: Tools
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: VIAF
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Hi!

http://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/search.php?exact=0&type=2&f=13&startNum=2250&stepNum=0001&q=-ZCZC+-LC+-PND+VIAF#
(with the final / trailing "#")
will generate today also erroneous links as:

2251 - 2252 of 2361 results| previous 13 DNB BVB LT de en ru epo TS G GWP |
next 13 DNB BVB LT de en ru epo TS G GWP

In order to avoid the generation of such links we should implement asap a
minimal length for

a) GND / PND and require five significant characters. i. e. GND:123-4 is to
"short" because the MINUS character should not be taken into account.

b) For VIAF we should require five digits as well.

Note: If the implementation is easier fixing bug 36882 immediately this is OK.

Kind regards Reinhardt
