Motivation

In my opinion this link to an external database/catalog would be an added value for wikidata. The wreck database is huge. And if you see a wrecksite page, you can get a lot of information about the wrecked ship, both technical details and the history behind it.

For this reason, this database is often taken as wikipedia external source even for the wrecked ships.

We could also create new wikidata elements according to the wrecksite catalog.

Any improvement to this property proposal is welcome. Thanks! --Luca.favorido (talk) 14:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
