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.

•  Comment Do these sites correspond to existing Wikidata items, or are you proposing to add them all (over 1 million), or what is the plan here? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:39, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  The sites are not in Wikidata from what I could tell. I assume there is somewhere for import discussions here so I would make a proposal first. We could import all historic sites or limit it just to currently active sites. I still think the identifier would be useful regardless of whether people want these bulk imported.

  If limited to currently active sites I think this would be fine. 1.7 million records added to Wikidata for the historic sites seems too much. I wonder if that would be better recorded on Commons using the tabular data format? ArthurPSmith (talk) 21:14, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

ConLang Code Registry code

   Under discussion

Description	3-letter identifier for language defined in the ConLang Code Registry, using codes reserved for private use in ISO 639-3
Represents	ConLang Code Registry (Q107713633)
Data type	String

Planned use	assign value to relevant languages
Number of IDs in source	255
Expected completeness	eventually complete (Q21873974)
Robot and gadget jobs	Not that I know of

Motivation

Currently, many conlangs (constructed languages) that don't have official ISO 639-3 codes have an ISO 639-3 code (P220) value listed anyway, for a code issued by the ConLang Code Registry; they generally take the format Black Speech (Q686210)ISO 639-3 code (P220)qbsissued by (P2378)ConLang Code Registry (Q107713633). The problem is that this is wrong: the ISO 639-3 standard defines the codes qaa-qtz as "reserved for private use", which means that anyone can use them for any purpose, and still be compliant with the standard. The fact that the ConLang Code Registry has issued codes in this range does not mean that these conlangs have actually received ISO 639-3 codes, though; it just means that a completely separate organisation has decided to issue codes which just-so-happen to be in ISO 639-3's private use range.

This is obviously intentional, as it allows them to be used as language codes without conflicting with the official ISO standard, but that doesn't mean we should have statements which claim they're actually part of the standard. Simply saying that the code is "issued by the ConLang Code Registry" doesn't make it clear that the ConLang Code Registry is not entitled to issue ISO 639-3 codes, and therefore obscures the fact that the code isn't actually part of the standard in the first place (i.e. that the statement is wrong). Outside of conlang communities, these codes see almost no use, and they may conflict other privately-issued codes used in other communities.

To get around the issue, I'd like to propose a separate property for the ConLang Code Registry, so that these codes can be listed without polluting the data for those who only want information on official ISO 639-3 codes.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theknightwho (talk • contribs) at 12:47, August 16, 2024‎ (UTC).

Discussion

•  Support This makes sense to me. Are there really 255 of these? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:24, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

  @ArthurPSmith Yes - 252 active codes and 3 retired ones according to https://www.kreativekorp.com/clcr/. There are 520 codes in the private use range (qaa-qtz), which is the theoretical maximum, and growth is quite uneven, with some years seeing very few codes added (2 added in 2021), while others see many (32 added in 2023). Codes are retired if they're replaced by genuine ISO 639-3 codes. Theknightwho (talk) 21:18, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

•  Support --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 11:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don't think this would be a good idea.
  It's not a coincidence that the ConLang Code Registry (CLCR) codes are in ISO 639-3's private-use range, the whole point is that they are private-use ISO 639-3 codes for use as ISO 639-3 codes.
  ISO 639-3 provides the set of private-use codes for people to use how they want, which means that users assign their own meanings. It's true that other places may assign conflicting meanings, but that's why those statements all have a qualifier saying who gives it that meaning. Conflicts shouldn't be a problem either, we can use constraints like single-best-value constraint (Q52060874) and/or add separator (P4155) to the constraint.
  The existing statements shouldn't pollute the data if you're using it correctly. The items with private-use codes also have a no value statement set to preferred rank to indicate that they have no official code, and if you're looking at all statements, you need to take ranks and qualifiers into account for the data to be meaningful anyway.
  The real issue here is: How should we model usage of private-use codes? This isn't limited to CLCR or even ISO 639-3 (e.g. XK is widely used as the ISO 3166-1 code for Kosovo, Qaag is used by Unicode and CLDR as the ISO 15924 code for Zawgyi, U+F8D0 is the Unicode codepoint normally used for the Klingon letter "a"), so I don't think it makes sense to have a property specifically for CLCR's private-use ISO 639-3 codes. We should have a model we can apply to private-use codes in general instead.
  - Nikki (talk) 09:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  @Nikki These are not ISO 639 codes, though - these are codes assigned by another body which have been intentionally designed to match up with ISO 639's private use range. It's not a question of qualifying the codes or setting no value as a preferred rank - it's the fact that it is factually wrong to say that they are ISO 639 codes at all, and they shouldn't be listed there at all.

Motivation

This is a restart of WIPO Lex ID (P12720), which I proposed in Wikidata:Property_proposal/case_number_(mainland_China), but the community finally defined the property as WIPO Lex ID, since all examples (court judgements/decisions) I introduced in the proposal were from the WIPO website. :D
Today when I wanted to enter data for this property, I find it completely changed, but reasonable.

I'm re-proposing the China property here.
For any formal judgement from a court (or eligible authority) in mainland China, there's a unique case id (案号, lit. case number) assigned to that legal proceeding. See third line (right-aligned) of Page 1 of a formal court decision. This id is almost the same as U. S. Supreme Court docket number (P7063).

There's a definitive regulation of case ids published in 2015 by China's supreme court. An unofficial English translation is available here if you're interested.

Case ids before 2015 (start of nation-wide digitization) can't be expected to follow a fixed style or format. So I would like to allow this property as a free-form text field, rather than a very strict one. --XsLiDian (talk) 14:04, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Motivation

I was approached by them to help sync their data with Wikidata, and I think we should support this! They already have plenty of entries associated with Wikidata/Wikipedia and also GND/VIAF/etc on their side. Mix'n'Match already has half of their IDs matched to Wikidata items.

 Support very useful, especially as the institution is part of a larger body that might be inspired to follow suit Awinkler3 (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

 Support. The Münzkabinett is not only one of the most important and alongside London, Paris, Wien and St. Petersburg one of the biggest numismatic collections with a long history in the world, this museum/collection is also a great friend of the Wikiverse and tries to connect in a lot of ways. We should support this too in all possible ways. One way is to create this very usefull property. 22.000 objects in the moment are just the beginning. The collection of the Münzkabinett incloudes a half million objects. So this number will increase ongoing, due to there will be worked on regular. And in a second step, there will be probably the numid notwork with other collections, mainly in Germany, but also Austria, Switzerland and Greece, and their online catalogue (one part of this catalogue is the smb-ikmk, of which we're talking here). -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 16:50, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Nono314 contact me as the new French région "Grand Est" finally has one online database. We can now have a property for the heritage inventory (General inventory of cultural heritage (Q3153865)) of this région like for the others régions (see the "see also" above). There is also some overlap with Mérimée ID (P380).

Expected completeness	eventually complete (Q21873974)
Implied notability	Wikidata property for an identifier that does not imply notability (Q62589320)

Motivation

The Western Australian Biographical Index (Q130366635) (WABI) was compiled in the 1970s by Rica Erickson (Q4357043) and many other people, to build a database of people relating to Western Australia in the 19th Century (up to 1914). It has been transcribed and is published by the State Library of Western Australia (Q7603408) under a CC-BY license.

Although lots of the entries will not be matched to Wikidata items, a great number will and the cards often contain useful information about the people.

This property will also be useful in references, where knowledge is extracted from the cards (but no item created for the primary person).
