Copied from Special:Permalink/1260909288#ERIC_Thesaurus_ID_links_not_working_correctly
Hi,
Thank you for creating the ERIC Thesaurus ID property. I discovered that the links from identifiers that have the + character are not working properly. For example the link for Attention+Span gets converted to https://eric.ed.gov/?ti=Attention%2BSpan That link doesn't work, whereas https://eric.ed.gov/?ti=Attention+Span does work fine. It seems that the + is the only problem. In the example with parentheses, only the plus gets changed: https://eric.ed.gov/?ti=Accessibility%2B(for%2BDisabled)
Is there a way to fix this so that the links from Wikidata to ERIC will work?
Thanks.

- Hi UWashPrincipalCataloger I replaced the "+" by a "blank" (see on attention span (Q4115119)) and it seems to do the job. ERIC replaces "+" by "%2B" while it replaces " " by "+". Strange... Pamputt (talk) 21:50, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
- @Pamputt:, @UWashPrincipalCataloger:. it appears the issue, you encountered here, has recently been fixed in T271126. unfortunately https://eric.ed.gov/ does not work for me right now, so I can't verify it--Shisma (talk) 12:55, 28 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
- @Shisma: I'm not sure why the ERIC site doesn't work for you. I just checked and it was working fine. I checked some items that have the ERIC identifier with multiple words: allied health profession (Q349843), quantum mechanics (Q944) and molecular biology (Q7202). The links to ERIC all work perfectly. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 19:42, 28 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
- UWashPrincipalCataloger: the website was offline when I checked. I wanted to verify that the effect observed by Pamputt does not longer occur. And indeed, Q4115119#P8539 has changed:

- When the ERIC property was first created, identifiers with a + in them didn't work and Pamputt fixed it by taking out the + and just recording a blank space. This was actually a great solution since the result matched exactly the term in the thesaurus, so it was actually an exact match for the identifier. https://eric.ed.gov/?ti=Attention%2BSpan still doesn't work, but https://eric.ed.gov/?ti=Attention%20Span does.
