Intention: An ORCID identifier [1] is like an ISBN or DOI for a person. We're discussing [2] adding them to citations on en.Wikipedia, and would encourage sister projects to do likewise. It is proposed to link such citations to a page, similar to 'Special:BookSources', called 'Special:ORCID', which would link to the corresponding page on the ORCID website [3], and to all the articles on the given Wiki which have citations that include the specified ORCID. (A mock-up is available [4].) This bug is to request the provision of a 'Special:ORCID' facility. [1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORCID> [2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Citation_Style_1#ORCID.2C_redux> [3] <http://orcid.org> [4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ORCID/0000-0001-5882-6823> Reproducible: Didn't try
For a given ORCID identifier, the author name can be retrieved using the ORCID API. In the short term, while a way to compile the list of articles is considered, a page just giving the name and a link would be an acceptable interim solution.
See bug 53348 Once thats implemented this could just tag onto that
I've added hCard microformat [1] markup to the mockup page, for added semantic richness. Where the person identified is the subject of a Wikipedia article, we should include a link to that (or to a Reasonator page [2], if there is no article in the user's preferred language). The existence of a Wikipedia article can be detected by looking for the ORCID in Wikidata (P496, [3])); in future it may be available via the ORCID API.
