Why has the term New ID been introduced all reference to sailors should be based on the alpha numerical sailor ID this has been World Sailing common reference for 2020 years. Both the numerical page ID and the current word based URL are a consequence I suspect of the web design. Updating to the new website should have been as simple as editing the directional URL to https://www.sailing.org/sailor?ref=GBRCA1
Wikidata has always been based on the incorrect numerical data unfortunately I have been unable to find a user capable of correcting this. I certainly am not :-)

|new_id=
parameter to support the new ID format used at the World Sailing website. To see this, go to the
search page at www.sailing.org, type Hannah Mills
in "Search Name" or GBRHM15
in "Sailor ID", then click "View profile" for Hannah Mills, the URL displayed is
https://www.sailing.org/sailor/hannah-mills?ref=GBRHM15. I found that
https://www.sailing.org/sailor/hannah-mills will always display the page for Hannah Mills, but
https://www.sailing.org/sailor/?ref=GBRHM15 sometimes will and other times will not. When I go to
https://www.sailing.org/sailor?ref=GBRCA1 and in the page that opens, replace GBRCA1
with GBRHM15
, it just re-displays the page for Ben Ainslie when it should display the page for Hannah Mills. When I go to
https://www.sailing.org/sailor/ben-ainslie and in the page that opens, replace ben-ainslie
with hannah-mills
, it actually changes the page displayed from Ben Ainslie to Hannah Mills. --
