This template might need updating

I randomly came across the article for Määri, which uses this template in a reference. It appears that the website linked from the template now redirects to a different page, which doesn't take into account the URL parameters (and so doesn't display information about the places it's cited from the articles for). Pinging Estopedist1 as this template's creator.

@A smart kitten. Very good catch! Etwiki has same problem. Want to say something, @Wkentaur? Estopedist1 (talk) 21:18, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A smart kitten, @Wkentaur: it seems that now stat.ee are using long identificators for Estonian villages (maybe for the sake of cybersecurity), e.g.

https://klassifikaatorid.stat.ee/item/stat.ee/df28359e-bae3-4de7-9646-e19077a7c61e #Määri village
https://klassifikaatorid.stat.ee/item/stat.ee/f895c79b-e9ae-443d-8784-174416602815 #Metste village

But maybe stat.ee are also using some kind of alternative URLs which allows us to just change URL in this template without changing old identificator (e.g. old URL for Määri village was http://metaweb.stat.ee/view_xml.htm?id=3787961&searchText=5295).

EHAK workers answered to me, but they don't help (probably not knowing this URL changing stuff). Current situation: the template is deprecated and cannot be used. I don't see point to change every reference manually in all of this 4000+ articles about Estonian villages. Possible solution is to fetch data from Wikidata, but I am quite sure that these URLs like https://klassifikaatorid.stat.ee/item/stat.ee/df28359e-bae3-4de7-9646-e19077a7c61e are likely to be changed in near future. So Wikidata entries should be manually checked and corrected if URLs will be changed. Massive manual work it would be :) Estopedist1 (talk) 09:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
