Motivation
[edit]This is an important property covering news and instances of special events, which we don't have as many properties for. The scope is similar to YouTube video ID (P1651) or Instagram post ID (P11036). Many broadcasts use the same identifier as the former Periscope service, and are compatible with the Twitter formatter URL. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 00:16, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
