•  Support Since referencing podcasts is generally a mess and Wikidata is, to the best of my knowledge, the only hub that links different platforms/databases, every identifier is welcome. So I second the proposal. Awinkler3 (talk) 07:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

• @Josh404, Awinkler3, Shisma, Back ache, Waldyrious, Jrubashk, @Trivialist, Egon Willighagen  Done: ‎Overcast episode ID (P12872), however, the proposed formatter URL is not working due to URL encoding. I changed to another one, it should work, at least it did when I tested it on test.wikidata (proposed formatter URL and new one). Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 02:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

  Since (according to the given allowed values), the '+' is always part of the identifier, removing that in Wikidata is a good idea. It happens for many identifiers in Wikidata. Semantically it may not be entirely correct, but a lot easier. Pragmatic and useful. Egon Willighagen (talk) 07:54, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
