Motivation

Currently there is only two Letterboxd identifiers which severely limits our efforts to import the identifiers to Wikidata. Instead of continuing to make an endless amount of Letterboxd properties i propose i just use one universal identifier for all Letterboxd persons instead

If someone could find a full list of occupation prefixes on Letterboxd that would be highly appreciated--Trade (talk) 06:51, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

We could do with also adding festivals to the letterbox id setup as they have just introduced film festivals to the platform as seen here https://letterboxd.com/members/hq/festivals/ S6GHSAM4 (talk) 05:30, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Comment I would much rather prefer to drop the occupation prefix, but I don't know what the correct formatter would be. It seems to recognize any individual regardless of the occupation prefix you choose, even if they have no credits in that category, e.g. https://letterboxd.com/additional-directing/pamela-anderson/ -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 23:05, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

  Actually, given this information, it seems that all these examples already work on the existing Letterboxd actor ID (P6119). It may be better to just expand the property's scope. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 23:07, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

  Without any credits the identifier becomes useless Trade (talk) 18:36, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

•  Oppose the identifier doesn't work properly. --Sabelöga (talk) 03:38, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
