[05:12:58] <Guest76>	 Hi
[06:14:02] <rdrg109>	 How likely is it for the number related to object to change? nearly impossible? I'm asking this because I'm working on a personal project that uses the number of an object for referencing that specific object, so this is why I want to know how likely it is for a change to occur. For example, I'm storing USBs in a table that contain hardware devices, so the USBs would have Q1647694 in the
[06:14:04] <rdrg109>	 "instance_of" column. In that scenario, my question would be: Is it likely that Q1647694 changes in the future?
[06:16:12] <jimman2003>	 I think it is nearly improvable that an ID changes

[07:18:53] <nikki>	 rdrg109: ids are *supposed* to be stable, so in theory they should always mean the same thing, but due to how openly editable wikidata is, mistakes can happen
[07:19:38] <nikki>	 it could be that someone merges it with another item about the same concept, in which case the id would redirect - the old id would still be valid but if you're fetching data from it, you might need to resolve the redirect first
