[edit]

This page is for the proposal of new properties.

Before proposing a property

  1. Search if the property already exists.
  2. Search if the property has already been proposed.
  3. Check if you can give a similar label and definition as an existing Wikipedia infobox parameter, or if it can be matched to an infobox, to or from which data can be transferred automatically.
  4. Select the right datatype for the property.
  5. Read Wikidata:Creating a property proposal for guidelines you should follow when proposing new property.
  6. Start writing the documentation based on the preload form below by editing the two templates at the top of the page to add proposal details.

Creating the property

  1. Once consensus is reached, change status=ready on the template, to attract the attention of a property creator.
  2. Creation can be done 1 week after the creation of the proposal, by a property creator or an administrator.
  3. See property creation policy.

Motivation

[edit]

Wikidata items of cemeteries in Germany often have no external identifiers despite to OpenStreetMap. With grabsteine.genealogy.net there is database maintained by the Association for Computer Genealogy which maintains several other databases and projects around the topic of genealogy. They systematically record cemeteries including their tombstones in Germany (and other countries). By the way, the already established property Historical Gazetteer (GOV) ID (P2503) also references to a database of Association for Computer Genealogy. It seems to be a reliable source and, therefore, could be valuable when we connect to it. --Arnd (talk) 17:30, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation

[edit]

With the thumbtime parameter one can set the thumbnail of videos at the places they're embedded such as Wikipedia articles on the Commons frontpage. See c:Commons:Video#Setting a video thumbnail image.

I'm proposing a new thumbtime property is used as a qualifier for video (P10) which can then be used to:

  • eventually display a good fitting thumbnail in the Wikidata item (this may require some code changes)
  • display the specified thumbnail for videos in the Wikidata infobox that's shown in Commons category pages
  • include this in the thumbtime parameter of video suggestions if videos set on Wikidata items are suggested for Wikipedia articles that are linked to that item
    • see W310: Suggest media set in Wikidata items for their Wikipedia articles (voting on it open; this would make contributions to Wikidata much more valuable as the videos specified there find their way into Wikipedia articles that lack media and because few people adding media to WD items also add them to the linked Wikipedia articles…I recommend you check that page out which has more info on this)

Furthermore, I suggest that the readily-available thumbtime data of Commons' Media of the Day videos is imported to where these videos are used. This would set a good thumbtime to maybe 100 items or so – see this Commons search query that shows the pages this could be imported from (note: it uses two formats 01:01 and 61). Maybe somebody knows how this could be done. Maybe one could show all WD items that have a video in the Media of the Day category set that has its thumbtime specified so that one can then copy the thumbtimes over manually.

Data type should be the number in seconds but I could not find it in datatypes.

    It would be Commons' way to set the thumbnail – if that ever becomes possible, the thumbtimes set there could maybe largely be imported to this property. I didn't link this issue and it's relating to this proposal in that it's also about the image thumbnail preview image (there: which thumbnail shows e.g. in Commons category pages). Prototyperspective (talk) 23:38, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Do we have confirmation from developers that this is the way they want it to be done or might we end up with two separate ways of doing this in the end? Ainali (talk) 07:42, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Again, I didn't link to this issue in this proposal. It's not part of the proposal. And I just clarified that this is a separate issue. Please see It would be Commons' way [not Wikidata's and/or Wikipedia's] to set the thumbnail – if that ever becomes possible, the thumbtimes set there could maybe largely be imported to this property […] (there: which thumbnail shows e.g. in Commons category pages [here: for Wikidata items and maybe/hopefully eventually their Wikipedia articles]. (added implicit things for clarity). Prototyperspective (talk) 12:55, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I must be missing something here, because exactly that is what confuses me. If we create this property, and then later the devs choose to implement another solution, then this has all been made redundant. Ainali (talk) 21:27, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Devs of which software? If you mean devs of the Wikidata software: the thumbtime of the videos has to be stored somewhere at the place where the video is used. If it's stored differently than via a qualifier – which afaik is how all things regarding statements in Wikidata items are stored – then the qualifiers could be imported.
    • If these were used for Wikipedia or for the Commons Wikidata infobox, the qualifier could already be used.
    • For the potential application of setting the thumbtime of the video within Wikidata item webpages and in sparql query results: if the qualifier is not used (seems rather unlikely) then one could use the values written to there and set them in whatever other method of setting the thumbnail is built.
    Prototyperspective (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think I meant the Mediawiki developers. If they implement a solution so that the thumbtimes can be set for the video on file page itself, and then reused everywhere where a video is being used, then this solution could become redundant. Ainali (talk) 22:52, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is based on the speculation that this is possible and if it is that it will be done. I don't think there is anything else on file description pages that can be used at the places where videos are being used so this would be a novum. By the way, the best thumbnail may vary per item/subject so it's an advantage to be able to set this on a per item basis (probably quite rare though). Maybe you could ask developers whether this could/will become possible. Seeing that the issue, as with many code problems, is open since 2009, I doubt that it will be implemented any time soon. In contrast, the Wikidata infobox could I think use the thumbtime as soon as it's implemented here. Prototyperspective (talk) 23:16, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Wait, this was not meant to be in SDC but on items? Then everything I said can be disregarded. I would support the proposal if this was possible to understand from the template, but there's way too many empty parameters in that one still. Ainali (talk) 09:15, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It was meant to be set as a qualifier on items. Note: I don't object for this to be used instead or additionally as structured data on Commons if that's identified as the better method to use this property. That currently can't be queried as well and can't be used by the Wikidata infobox etc so I think use as qualifier would be better. I thought the examples (the statements) make this clear. As far as I can see, all but the status parameter (which shouldn't be set by me) are set in the property proposal template but if there's more than these and I should set some of them (or if you mean another template), please tell me which. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:52, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the parameter domain would help a lot, subject item wouldn't hurt either, and explicitly adding allowed units to the template would also make it clearer to understand at a glance. Ainali (talk) 22:22, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    ✓ Done--Prototyperspective (talk) 00:04, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I am a bit confused by "property" as value for domain. I would have expected "item", because isn't it on items we will use this rather than on properties? If so, to express that it should be used as a qualifier, I think other-constraints could have property constraint (P2302)property scope constraint (Q53869507)property scope (P5314)as qualifier (Q54828449). Ainali (talk) 15:53, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Probably just a mistake on my side; the template documentation is imo difficult to understand: I meant it should be used on Wikidata items' properties, namely the properties into which video files on Commons are entered (video (P10) is the one I'm aware and which would be the main property). Will edit the domain – please let me know if I got it wrong. Prototyperspective (talk) 15:55, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Many awards have categories (besides the type of work rewarded, which is handled by awarded for type of work (P13713)) or ranks (e.g. gold/silver/bronze) that are currently expressed with a variety of inappropriate qualifiers (see queries in the examples). Different from ranking (P1352), which is numeric-valued. (Note: where the value of P166 is improperly a competition, with the award given as a qualifier, e.g. this statement, the statement should be reworked with P166 as main property and league or competition (P118) qualifying, rather than using the proposed property.)

Motivation

[edit]

Scholarly resource resulting from a finished project by Europeana, to help with more inclusive and respectful labeling. Adding this identifier to both Wikidata items (for the concepts behind the terms) and Lexemes (for the exact words) will help in analyzing where Wikimedia projects touch upon these topics. Some remarks which I couldn't fit into the proposal above:

  • I indeed recommend to use this property for both Items (concepts) and Lexemes (words).
  • The data URIs are not the easiest to parse (see the examples above), but there is an equivalent set of human-readable PDF files (CC BY-SA, available on Wikimedia Commons too) which contain URIs as well and can be used as references.
  • In the next months, as time allows, I plan to start with a basic mapping of the terms to Wikidata items (not yet Lexemes) using labels and aliases in the five languages, using batch editing tools. I will do this slowly and with care, but errors may occur. Help is welcome.
  • I have started building a prototype overview tool to help us Wikimedians check coverage of the terms in this vocabulary in Wikimedia projects. I may slowly work on this more, making sure the tool points to Wikidata items and Lexemes if this property gets approved. As I am not a coder and am developing this with "vibe coding" I would welcome help here too (or even a skilled coder who would take over).

Discussion

[edit]
  • @Spinster: I think I would need to better understand what this is about - why are there separate 'en' and 'nl' identifiers? Wouldn't it make more sense to just use the number (13, 19, etc.) as the ID here, or are there other reasons the full c_... identifier is meaningful? Also, a lexeme and a concept are quite different things - a concept is more closely related to a specific sense of the lexeme. Should this be a property for senses then? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:19, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @ArthurPSmith, thanks for your questions! I've dived into this resource pretty deeply. It's built in a complicated way, it takes a while to grasp it unfortunately. The best instrument to "grasp" it is probably the set of PDFs in this Commons category, where you compare the lists per language and the identifier links at the bottom of each page.
    • The resource has five languages, and different lists of terms/concepts per language. Single numbers don't correspond with the same concept across languages, as you can see in the example above. 'Slaaf' in Dutch has a different number than 'slave' in English. Not every language lists the same terms/concepts. To be able to build persistent URIs pointing to this resource, we do need the full identifier string as I suggested above.
    • The resource describes both concepts and words, as I mentioned above. It's not just about (a single sense of) the Lexeme "slave" but also about how the concept of "enslaved person" (its Wikidata item) is labeled in various languages. I think it's useful for us, the Wikidata and Wikimedia community, to be able to compare this resource to both Wikidata items (with labels in various languages), Lexemes, and also to be able to connect it to Wikipedia articles (partly through Wikidata). Hence my suggestion to connect this property to both Lexemes and Wikidata items.
    • I agree that on the Lexeme side, it would be most correct to connect the identifier to a specific Sense of a certain Lexeme. But I think that's not technically possible (?); hence a compromise to (for now) connect it to the Lexeme as a whole.
    I really wish it were more simple; that would allow us to have more clear conversations on this topic. But it is what it is. I think that actually adding the identifiers to Wikidata items and Lexemes will clarify a lot :-) Spinster 💬 19:37, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Properties can be specific to senses of lexemes - item for this sense (P5137) is specifically just for senses for example. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:46, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It may be given the complexity you mention that this should be several distinct properties, not just one. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:47, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If properties specific for senses of lexemes are possible, then I am all for that. Thanks for the suggestion!
    I've been thinking about the idea to split this into several properties but I think it has more drawbacks than advantages. It is one single resource with one single formatter URL. Potential users/re-users would need to know about all (probably five) properties to know what to retrieve. Same with querying; that would become more complex and similarly queriers would need to know that five properties exist. I am in strong favor of keeping this as one proposal.

[edit]

In Germany, for example, the measuring point uuid is used as a unique identifier for water level measuring points (Stream gauge). At these points, the current level of the water of rivers, channels, lakes or the sea will be collected. These Measuring points have a coordinate. This will belong to the Project Germany, WikiProject Rivers and WikiProject Geology. These Measurement points indicates the difference between standard sea level and actual water level. As alternativ a general uuid value can be implemented. There are already uuid properties, but they are to specific, either people World Rowing UUID or books BHCL UUID. If a universal uuid is implemented, it would be fine for my project. I like to add all wate level measurement point in Germany. They are used at rivers, Canals, at North- and Baltic Sea. In Germany there are more than 650 measurement points. See also extern: [1] GodeNehler (talk) 16:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Take a look at how property descriptions are usually written, and write one for this property in the same form. Currently, it's not clear to me whether this is supposed to be a property about a certain German identifer (so a standard external ID property) or supposed to be something more general.
Is there some regulation that codifies these measuring points? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 21:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late response. The problem is, that I don't know, where outside Germany this identifier is use. But to my understanding a uuid is a global unique identifier. So it can be used everywhere else for this purpose. And: to my understanding an uuid is a global unique identifier and can be used for everything as long as it is global unique. [2]. The problem in WD is, that we have already uuid but to specific. So, please add either a specific uuid for Measuring points or an general uuid. I hope this explantation helps. --GodeNehler (talk) 20:55, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    [edit]

    For conclusion of criminal charges and civil complaints: we have verdict (P:P11922) but this is not sufficient, as charges can also go away in other ways: charges 'dropped' (dismissed by prosecutor's motion); charges dismissed (by defence's motion); AFAIA, the judge can even discretionally dismiss the entire case without a motion for reasons like clear and unmitigable prosecutorial misconduct); mistrial (hung jury etc); jury nullification (where jury validates the elements of the charge but give a 'not guilty' verdict); in civil cases, the claimant could withdraw or the parties could settle at any point; the defendant could die or become unfit to stand trial while the trial is underway; and if the trial goes tits up for any reason, prosecution could refrain from bringing the charges to another trial...

    Perhaps "verdict" property should be renamed and modified to cover and allow all these non-verdict conclusions? --Pitke (talk) 01:43, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: Upon further reflection, I feel the only sensible solution is to keep trial outcome and verdict separate, since 'verdict' will still be needed as a type of trial outcome, or a superset of trial outcomes like 'not guilty', 'not proven', and 'guilty'. Withdrawing my hairbrained suggestion to repurpose 'verdict'. --Pitke (talk) 10:02, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    And by 'trial outcome' I of course meant legal case outcome. Many cases end before a trial. --Pitke (talk) 10:32, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Casting support votes before the question is answered, is bad for the property creation process. Only cast support votes, when all the outstanding questions are answered to your satisfaction and the property is well-defined and it's clear that the property is needed and existing properties can't do the job.
    •  Oppose with current description and four word label. The description should define what it means with nutrient. Does USDA have a controlled vocabulary here?

      @Shisma
      Generally, it's unlikely that a dictionary provides a good definition in a case like this. Dictionaries are not created to provide controlled vocabulary with terms for purposes like this.
      According to ChatGPT, meaningful definitions are:
      USDA: “A chemical substance in food that provides energy; forms body structures; or regulates body processes.”
      FDA: “any substance of nutritional value found in food, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.”
      EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006: "“Nutrient” means a protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, sodium, vitamins and minerals listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, and substances which belong to, or are components of, one of these groups."
      IOM: dietary substances required for normal physiological function, growth, and maintenance of health
      WHO: substances obtained from food that are used in the body to provide energy, structural materials, and regulating agent
      Codex Alimentarius Commission: any substance normally consumed as a constituent of food, necessary for growth, development, and maintenance of health
      Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: chemical substances in food that nourish the body by contributing to energy production, maintenance, and growth
      These are all organizations who actually developed controlled vocabulary and likely had committees who thought long and part about how to define the term and what gets kept in and out by the definition. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:35, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      If there are some nutrients that the FDC has no data on then this would just mean that the data would have to come from other sources. I think the link in Source in the proposal is not exclusive – if there are other sources, these could be added alongside. A problem that becomes clear by the above list is that foods usually would have a long list of nutrients. But it's more or less the most valuable data for foods and well-worth it. It needs to be added in one edit though instead of for example 50 successive ones. Also it would be good to lock such fields so they can't be vandalized and reliably show what data FDC has.

    This would be a subproperty of has cause (P828), which is too generic. The cause can be separated from the motive of a crime. A cause could be entrapment (Q1066302), but a motive cannot be. This can also be useful for specifying 'unknown value' in cases that have not yet concluded. Only reasonings of a crime by the suspect would be valid, and sources would be necessary to verify the claims. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 03:40, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    [edit]

    Sources for product models often will detail accessories, adapters, and other items that are packed in with the product. This information is often important for understanding the usefulness and compatibility of an item. If an item has claims that indicate an obscure value for connector (P2935), source of energy (P618), network bands (P8097), etc, it may imply that it is only compatible with very specialized hardware, but often this is not the case if the device comes with adapters/cables/chargers/etc that make it compatible with more common standards. More broadly, this property would also be useful for describing the customer experience of this product, and may tie in to the cultural impact and societal perception of this product.

    The scope of this property needs some clarity – I think it should be limited to items that are included all or most of the time, and are considered a fundamental part of the experience of buying this product. For items that are only included as part of limited/special bundles/promotions (such as the numerous games that the Xbox One was bundled with), those are probably better not to include in this property. This is somewhat subjective, but I think in most cases it will be intuitive. –IagoQnsi (talk) 23:20, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Tinker Bell: In cases where a product has many editions and there are good sources that detail those editions, such as major video game consoles, I think having product bundle (Q1020767) instances makes a lot of sense. But the vast majority of products are not documented so thoroughly. For the Logitech M510 (Q135904184), for example, I can find sources (e.g. retail listings, user manuals, etc) to show that it always comes with a Logitech Unifying receiver (Q6667696). But I don't have any data about all the editions it came in in the 14 years it was on the market. Anecdotally, I've seen that the logo on it changed at least twice, that red and blue editions existed at some point, that they switched to a matte finish at some point, and that there are numerous versions of the packaging; however, I wouldn't be able to find reliable sources providing concrete info about these versions that we could use in Wikidata. And even for those few products that do have well-documented editions, there are still some objects that are always included that would be nice to have linked from the main item, as they can give hints about compatibility or the most common ways the product was experienced (e.g. all editions of the PlayStation 2 always came with a Composite cable, which confirms that it's compatible with Composite and gives a hint that that may have been a common way to connect the PS2 to a TV). –IagoQnsi (talk) 21:04, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    for example, I'm an anti-abortion activist, I denounce pro-abortion group from killing babies. This could appear on wikidata using this property, but they are unfounded denunciations. So the statement should have a deprecated rank.
    We also have a lot of politician doing SLAPP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation. They should have a deprecated rank Haymillefolium (talk) 18:18, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    this seem related to this property proposal that aims to avoid creating statements that are not based on reliable sources. Haymillefolium (talk) 18:22, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The point of the property is not to try to say whether or not the denunciation was fair and just, but just to say whether it happened. We as Wikidata are not saying "the invasion of Ukraine was bad"; we're just saying "the United Nations passed a resolution saying the invasion of Ukraine was bad". By their nature, most denunciations will be seen as unfounded or unfair by someone (why bother to denounce something that everyone already agrees is bad?), but that doesn't mean they're not worth documenting.
    I think the "formally" part is really important – there should be the expectation that the entity making the denunciation has some sort of formal process for doing so. So an individual or activist group simply putting out a press release against an abortion care provider wouldn't belong in this property, because it's just a one-off publication; there was no process used to make that decision. But if there was an activist group that maintained a list of care providers that they do/don't oppose based on some criteria, that would be more likely to be appropriate for this property.
    That's not to say that we are assuming that whatever formal process they have is good or fair or unbiased. For example, we might use this property for the Extremist Files maintained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, even though the SPLC has faced some political opposition in recent years and is certainly not a neutral party. The point is not for us to say "Andrew Tate is an extremist", which is an opinion, but rather to say "SPLC has included Andrew Tate in their Extremist Files", which is a fact. We'd just be tracking who has denounced whom, and it's up to the data consumer/reader to decide whose denunciations carry any weight. –IagoQnsi (talk) 17:36, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    yes I totally agree with all this. I was just saying that the statement can be confusing and formulating the necessity to add a deprecated rank for unfounded denunciations seems an important thing to me. Even a institutions can "formally" denounce another one for political or communication reason that had nothing to do with facts (facts are reported by independent medias).

    Motivation

    [edit]

    Wikidata currently provides the property convicted of (P1399), which models crimes only after a formal judicial conviction. However, convictions alone do not fully capture the social, historical, or political significance of many cases where individuals or organizations are credibly accused but not convicted, sometimes due to reasons unrelated to truth or evidence.

    Large corporations or powerful personalities often use vast financial and legal resources to delay or fragment judicial processes for years or decades. These delays prevent convictions from being issued even when accusations are widely substantiated through investigations, whistleblower reports, or NGO findings.

    Examples and sources:

    On top of that research shows that:

    These cases show that powerful companies can avoid judicial outcomes for extremely long periods meaning that Wikidata cannot represent credible, well-documented accusations for decades if it relies only on the convicted of (P1399) property.

    We should also note that absence of conviction is not a reliable indicator of absence of wrongdoing. Focusing only on convictions creates a structural blind spot in Wikidata. We should also raise that a tribunal can be wrong and can be corrupt. We need wikidata to stay a reliable place to find informations about criminals and the judicial system is not the only source that exist.

    An important point is also to note that you can be convicted of things that are not crimes. For example homosexuality is a crime according to some tribunals : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113867078. This also reflect the need to have a more generic and neutral property, allowing only rational allegations.

    Therefore, the proposed property would allow Wikidata to capture credible allegations with reliable sources (NGO reports, regulatory filings, investigative journalism, court documents, etc.) without waiting for convictions that may be delayed, obstructed, or rendered impossible due to power inequality.

    Has a summary this property:

    • complements (but does not replace) convicted of (P1399)
    • allows Wikidata to represent socially relevant accusations
    • reduces bias created by strict reliance on convictions
    • improves representation of corporate wrongdoing that remains unconvicted for procedural reasons
    • increases transparency for researchers, journalists, NGOs, and the public

    For reference a related proposition was made here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/accused, it's not the same proposition but it's closely related.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Haymillefolium (talk • contribs) at 21:48, 23 November 2025 (UTC).[reply]

    We have public key fingerprint P3721 property, but not yet more fundamental public key one, which is often used directly, especially e.g. for elliptic curve crypto, because of significantly shorter keys when compared to traditional RSA.

    Example of direct public key usage is SSH keys or some operating system package repository signing keys.

    The SSH example would probably have to have the key type like ssh-ed25519 as a qualifier separately. If we want to allow it included (as in the original James Bond example; btw found here) or not depends also on if we would like to allow white space characters or not. —Mykhal (talk) 13:29, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Not sure yet. E.g. checksum uses determination method or standard. I don't see "algorithm" or even "key type" among existing qualifiers (of total 290, currently). Not sure if we want specific ones like these. —Mykhal (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I have several things to note about this:
    String fields in Wikidata have a maximum length of 1500 characters - that limits the key length that can be represented, but maybe we don't need to worry about that yet.
    If these Wikidata statements are used to confirm identities it seems likely that malicious actors may try to abuse this by changing the values.
    Wasn't there a development effort to add "signed statements" to Wikidata? This seems relevant/related...

    In Dutch, many words are neuter, or the masculine form also serves as the neuter form. For example, ondernemer can be both masculine and neuter, while onderneemster is feminine. In French, a recent trend has emerged to create explicitly neutral forms, such as entrepreneur·euse, which serves as a neutral alternative to the masculine entrepreneur and the feminine entrepreneuse.

    [edit]

    Object Answer (previously Entity Search) is a knowledge database by Yandex (Q5281) similar to Google Knowledge Graph (Q648625) which allows for displaying a card or rich snippet with a summary of a searched topic referencing different websites, including Wikimedia projects. The id of a topic can be obtained by opening the Network tab in the browser’s Developer Tools while viewing a page that contains such a snippet, and then searching for \"name":"ento","value":\.

    One caveat is that Yandex doesn't allow the empty search queries. Therefore, when retrieving a card by id, some additional ?text= should be included in the query (e.g. [3]).

    The tech doesn't have a proper English name; however, "Object Answer" seems to be the best fit. Vonavy (talk) 03:23, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      The official Unicode SignWriting block is not sufficient to fully define a sign. Unicode encodes individual symbols only; it does not include the characters needed to represent structural markers or spatial relationships, which are essential for defining a complete sign.
      In addition, the Unicode encoding is not compatible with existing community data because it includes facial diacritics that are not used in current datasets.
      Finally, there is currently no real-world SignWriting data that uses the official Unicode encoding, whereas FSW is already widely used and supported by existing tools and data. -Slevinski (talk) 20:41, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Motivation

    [edit]

    I believe it would be valuable for Braille cells to have their corresponding graphemes and phones (for IPA). Since Braille differs across languages, the writing system (P282) should be a mandatory qualifier. This would improve accessibility and provide a structured way to link written characters with their tactile representations. JhowieNitnek (talk) 20:06, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Motivation

    [edit]

    This can replace some ad hoc negative domain constraints on individual properties. For example, the domain of MetroLyrics ID (P2624) includes audio track (Q7302866) and explicitly excludes song (Q7366):

    MetroLyrics ID (P2624)property constraint (P2302)conflicts-with constraint (Q21502838)property (P2306)instance of (P31)item of property constraint (P2305)song (Q7366)

    However, this negative constraint is not specific to MetroLyrics ID (P2624). It is just a consequence of mutual incompatibility of the mentioned types. It can be expressed independently from the property as statement

    audio track (Q7302866)incompatible typesong (Q7366). — Petr Matas 05:39, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Addition: Property proposal/instances must not have is a generalization of this property. It cannot replace it completely however, because the statement instances must not haveinstance of (P31)item of property constraint (P2305)other class does not apply to subclasses of other class, whereas incompatible type does. — Petr Matas 10:09, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Question This can replace some ad hoc negative domain constraints on individual properties. So you imagine this being respected by the constraint system? Did you ask developers (e.g. on Wikidata:Report a technical problem) how feasible this is? The property may make sense even if the software cannot respect it (it makes users or bots aware, who can copy it to the properties), but far less convenient. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:05, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
      Exactly. I did not ask the developers yet, because I believe that first we should discuss the need here and make the request to the developers if we get a positive result. The feasibility can be an important input to this discussion though. Can you suggest where I should ask? — Petr Matas 10:09, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    • Edited description: In addition to instances, the constraint should also apply to subclasses of the two types. It is because if a type is a subclass of two mutually incompatible types, then also every its instance will be an instance of two incompatible types and thus it will violate the original constraint.

    Motivation

    [edit]

    This proposal is a generalization of property proposal/incompatible type. Both aim to replace property constraints, which naturally belong to the domain of the property.

    For example, constraints on country (P17) are a mess. Constraints like

    country (P17)property constraint (P2302)conflicts-with constraint (Q21502838)property (P2306)instance of (P31)item of property constraint (P2305)film (Q11424)replacement property (P6824)country of origin (P495)

    should be replaced with

    audiovisual work (Q2431196)instances must not havecountry (P17)replacement property (P6824)country of origin (P495).

    Note that unlike the property constraint, the new statement needs to be added only to audiovisual work (Q2431196) and not to its subclasses like film (Q11424), because it applies to them automatically.

    @Eric Schucht: Now, we have to implement this property the choice between an integrated design and an expanded one. If we opt for a single identifier for Algeria Press Service (Q1162323) supporting about 8 languages, we have the model of Fandom article ID (P6262) with 3 parameters. If on the other hand we lean towards the distributed choice, we have the model of the 4 multilingual identifiers of France 24 (Q166180): France 24 topic ID (French) (P9346), France 24 topic ID (English) (P9347), France 24 topic ID (Spanish) (P9348), France 24 topic ID (Arabic) (P9349).

    •  Oppose The website seems minor and it's not clear to me what Wikidata gains by adding the tag. No reasoning is provided for why creating the tag would be a good idea. On the other hand the costs of adding a tag are clear. They make items bigger and thus increase load time and also take up user time by showing up on watchlists.

    Motivation

    [edit]

    Currently there no property for a MediaWiki revision (except for Wikimedia projects where Wikimedia page-version URL (P7569) exists), this page propose a property that is similar to P7569, but for any MediaWiki wiki (Q15633582).  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by DinhHuy2010 (talk • contribs) at 11:17, July 1, 2025 (UTC).

    Motivation

    [edit]

    We have Vikidia article ID (P12800), so why shouldn't we have this? I wonder why this isn't on Wikidata. Plus, Swedish, English and French are popular languages: QwertyZ34 (talk)

    While the site was initially a fork of various Russian-language (and Russian minority language) Wikipedia's it still contains a significant amount of rewriting from their originals.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trade (talk • contribs) at 23:49, January 28, 2026 (UTC).
