Be more flexible about QID in extra field #93

Open diegodlh opened 3 years ago

diegodlh commented 3 years ago

The QuickStatements export translator intentionally doesn't output anything if the item already has a QID in the extra field. However, it is strict about the format how it has to be specified: "^QID: " (uppercase "QID" at the beginning of the line, followed by ":", followed by space".

Although this seems to be the format suggested in the Zotero documentation, and it has been said that it is Zotero's main developer preferred way, they don't seem to be strict about it.

Do you think we could make it more flexible? That is, case-insensitive and with or without a space after the colon?

BTW, apart from this translator and the Wikicite plugin I'm developing, do you know of any other plugin/translator that expects the QID to be in the extra field? The Wikidata web translator currently doesn't, as proposed that it does here.

The changes look fine in general (still thinking about the space and wether it makes a difference...), but the repo for this translator changed.

The QuickStatements translator was now in the meantime integrated in the official Zotero translator repository https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/2339 and therefore you should place a pull request there. I need to do some follow-ups here and especially to link to the new and official version of the translator.

Thanks for adding the QID field to the web translator. I was quite sure that it was there already, because that is the whole idea how to avoid duplicates from exporting items which have been imported before already from Wikidata.
