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]

museum-digital (https://www.museum-digital.de/) is a increasingly popular platform for museums to document and present their collections. There are currently more than 680k objects from 900 museums in 6k collections distributed over several distinct (regional or thematic) instances. Most named entities are controlled by means of a series of vocabularies. One of them, covering place names, is referred to by museum-digital place ID (P9957). MD tags provides a curated list of keyword used in the descriptions of objects on Museum-Digital. Keywords are continuously reconciled with other relevant authority files. Many concepts, however, are very domain-specific, so that the museum-digital tag is the only authority file to cover these. This would make this property especially useful.

 Comment Considering that National Historical Museums of Sweden ID (P9495) exists and that other properties from SHM are likely to be proposed in the future(places, events, heritage sites, ect) maybe there should only be one property? As far as I'm aware the UUIDs are unique across the various types and even if that wouldn't be the case one could include the type prefix in the id. Abbe98 (talk) 22:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Abbe98: Sure, that would probably work. Do you have an example of another external identifier that includes several different types so I can check how it works? Is it possible then to change the name and details of P9495? LinneaKarlberg (talk) 07:22, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Europeana entity (P7704) would be one example. I would imagine migrating/generalizing National Historical Museums of Sweden ID (P9495) by: 1. updating the formatter URL 2. adding the agent prefix to existing values 3. updating the label/description of the property Abbe98 (talk) 10:08, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose Per the discussion above, I would suggest generalizing National Historical Museums of Sweden ID (P9495) rather than creating a new property for each type. I cave created a section on the discussion page. Abbe98 (talk) 10:20, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Abbe98 Hello, It would then be necessary to differentiate "agents" from "object". How would you like to do? (incorporate it into the identifier as a general property? or use an external URL formatter?) We can also consider that each property will be dedicated to the type (less errors with dedicated constraints). It would be necessary to recontact those who have already voted, as well as the voters of the other property, to find out if your idea appeals to them, but with more information. I don't see a URL leading directly to the correct page without using the type (with only the UUID). Example: type:UUID. Cordially. —Eihel (talk) 03:47, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I would imagine we would use one of the seven possible prefixes like agent/<UUID> and object/<UUID>. We could also use a generic resolver but there isn't an official one so I think such a solution is less optimal. Abbe98 (talk) 06:48, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Abbe98: @Eihel: @LinneaKarlberg: We just had a discussion about this with the Wikidata team at the National Historical Museums of Sweden. Our conclusion is that this property should not be created, and Abbe98's solution (using prefixes) is better. This will include us (WMSE is supporting the museum in their Wikidata work) generalizing National Historical Museums of Sweden ID (P9495) and removing /person/ from the formatter URL and then adding the person prefix to all the existing uses of the property. --Alicia Fagerving (WMSE) (talk) 12:10, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alicia Fagerving (WMSE) I have pinged all the people who voted on National Historical Museums of Sweden ID (P9495). I think we should leave it over the weekend at least but then if there are no one oposing this I can migrate it early next week. Abbe98 (talk) 12:32, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We at NHM are all on board with this approach instead of several Properties. LinneaKarlberg (talk) 08:09, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

(We've already talked about this in the video game project chat, but it will be useful to summarise it here too:) the "director" position is a tricky one regarding video games. When credits have "creative director" and "game director" at the same time, then I suppose it would mean that "game director" is rather a production lead position (cinema's en:unit production manager equivalent), than everything-at-once position or unspecified team leader as it usually is. Using two roles at the same time is not as common, but it still happens in some projects: 1, 2, 3, 4. MobyGames, in their documentation, describe "Game Director" within Production section next to "Project Leader/Manager" and "Production Manager", while "Creative Director" within Design positions among "Created by" and "Original Concept/Idea". I find such categorisation generally correct (while the current use of the Game Director/Team Lead position is not quite accurate as a shared position with a film/cinema director in this sense in my opinion). This looks handy as a general approach in an attempt to systematise things, but is unlikely to have 100% compliance, as it is likely that the responsibilities of the game director position vary from project to project and from person to person. It probably wouldn't be unreasonable to create a separate property for this in my opinion. As for "creative director", it seems to me that this is a much more specific position than "game director", and it would be fine if it would be specified in some video games instead of "director" if that's how it's listed in the credits. The enwiki infobox documentation currently specifies that "director" and "creative director" share the same parameter: en:Template:Infobox video game#Syntax guide – сombining two entries for the purpose of compactness is the prerogative of Wikipedia, and on Wikidata it is better to be precise with the data. Solidest (talk) 15:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just landed (by accident) on the Référentiel des métiers du Jeu Vidéo (="reference guide for Video Game professions") published by the French industry trade union Q3508526. The headlines are mostly in English, with French aliases in each section. It lists 6 "XYZ director" positions: “Creative director” and “game director” (under Design), “Audio director” and “Art director” (under Image/Sound), “Technical director” (under Technology), “Marketing director” (under Support). “Game director” is aliased to the French “Réalisateur”, which is what is also used for a (movie) director.
(Also, “Executive producer” is aliased to “directeur de production, directeur opérationnel, directeur du studio”)
So, given this new source which clarified things a lot (in my head at least), I would  Support this property.
P.S. If you Ctrl-F through the document, more "director" pop-up:
  • headline: “in game cutscenes director” (=réalisateur de cinématiques), “analytics director”, “business development director”,
  • in the "n+1" sections: directeur monétisation, UX director

Academy Awards International Submissions[edit]

Planned usetracking international submissions

Motivation[edit]

Countries can submit one film annually to the Academy Awards for consideration. Right now, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) does not keep an external database of these records other than producing a list of the final submissions. The most comprehensive listing of these submissions is maintained on the English Wikipedia articles related to the submissions.

This proposal creates a space to capture and maintain these submissions in Wikidata under the film. These submissions are an important way of understanding and recognizing international film and adding them to WikiData would contribute to a rich and queryable dataset.

Based on the English Wikipedia articles, there have been 2,883 international submissions to the Academy Awards. Example table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_submissions_to_the_83rd_Academy_Awards_for_Best_Foreign_Language_Film

Once created, SPARQL queries could generate the tables used to display International Submissions and their statuses. This would create a better way to query and track international submissions and perform data analysis on the award process.

Four proposed property values:

  1. Submission Ceremony: AMPAS Ceremony of Submission
  2. Submission Country: Country submitting the film (countries can only submit 1 film and can't submit together, so this can differ from the country/countries involved in production)
  3. Submission Title: Title used in the submission (AMPAS generally asks for an English title)
  4. Submission Status: Status of the submission


Current Submission Statuses (a nomination can only be in 1 of these statuses at any given time)

  • Won Academy Award
  • Nominated
  • Nominated and Disqualified
  • Shortlisted
  • Not Nominated
  • Disqualified
  • Not on Final List (country reports submitting the film, but AMPAS didn't include it on the final submissions)
  • Withdrawn
  • To Be Determined (used until the final submission list is made public)

Note 1: these statuses are in alignment with the AMPAS International Submission process and the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Separate from this process, an international film can be considered for other awards.

Note 2: these statuses are also in alignment with prior iterations of the award and the related submission process, like Best Foreign Film (prior to 2020).

Motivation[edit]

KupiGolos (Q125199075) is a Russian-language database of voice actors, which will be useful as an external id to keep track of video games with Russian dubbing. On Wikidata we have Behind The Voice Actors video game ID (P4965), Il mondo dei doppiatori ID (P5099), and the recently created ‎DoblajeVideojuegos game ID (P12290), and we clearly lack such databases, especially Russian-language ones, and in general, I think, we have never had them. As soon as the property is approved, I plan to first match the identifiers via OpenRefine (99% matched already) and then create a Mix'n'Match catalog, if of course the tool starts working properly again. Unfortunately it stopped working and does not allow to update or upload catalogs correctly yet, so we will have to wait a bit. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 23:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation[edit]

Cite Q and similar templates expect that title (P1476) property would be the name of multivolume edition. Although many multivolume works doesn't have volume names and have only volume numbers, so volume name in such cases would contain the same name as the multivolume work name. Storing volume title in the title (P1476) property makes confusion with items that have multivolume title in the title (P1476) property.

Discussion[edit]

Would not subtitle (P1680) work for this? Solidest (talk) 21:54, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. It is related to the title (P1476) property and must be used in the same context. See United Nations peacekeeping in the Congo: 1960-1964; an analysis of political, executive and military control. Volume 1. Summary and conclusions (Q115926177), for example. And also see comparison of common patterns: Wikidata talk:WikiProject Books#Volume title. D6194c-1cc (talk) 09:58, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment not in favour Typically you should be citing the parent work, and citing a volume number as a qualifier, as has been done for thousands of works. Works perfectly well for "cite Q". Citing an item for a specific volume seems unnecessary.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:26, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We do have subject named as (P1810) which could be used, and then train "cite Q" to read that if present, or pushed.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:30, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This property might be misleading. Is it whole work name or just volume name? D6194c-1cc (talk) 07:41, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I found another problem. Issues have titles, too, and their structure is the same as that for volumes. So I probably will use object named as (P1932) for the volume/issue number and subject named as (P1810) for the volume/issue title. But they can be only used as qualifiers. So it's rather temporary solution, since those properties can be used only as qualifiers. D6194c-1cc (talk) 07:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Volume has specific google books id, URL (if it is in open access), ISBN, pages count and other properties that can be used by citing template. Citing whole multivolume edition is not always convenient. Although Red Data Book of Russia, volume "Animals" (2nd edition) (Q115189432) is an example of book that doesn't have multivolume edition. This volume published independently from other one and have no volume number. D6194c-1cc (talk) 07:39, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata projectWikidata:WikiProject Russia, Wikidata:WikiProject Books

Motivation[edit]

Lib.ru is an oldest Russian internet-library, was founded November 1, 1994. In subdomain az.lib.ru there are 74k written works of 6000 authors. It is the most comprehensive source of full-text written works in Russian language. For foreign authors translations are published. Copyrighted materials usually are not present. Having these ids in Wikidata will allow to jump from a person to his works in a single click.

It is different from Lib.ru author ID (P10362) in two ways - it has more materials (compare Bulgakov and Bulgakov) and for every person it provides some additional information - specifically, birth/death dates, which will be used to quickly match thousands of authors to their Qids. Also az.lib.ru has a focus on people whose write language is Russian.

Cons: there are some other prefixes at lib.ru: http://lit.lib.ru/ http://fan.lib.ru/ http://det.lib.ru/ http://music.lib.ru/ http://world.lib.ru/ . Generally it is not an issue since these sub portals exist for people to publish their own works and are not of great interest. Podbrushkin (talk) 14:10, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

canon status[edit]

Motivation[edit]

This would open up more far possibilies when modeling fictional entities and works both as a statement but also as a qualifier

We might or might not want to have a mandatory applies to work (P10663) qualifier but i'll leave that decision up to the community. Same applies to unconfirmed canon (Q124162270) and disputed canon (Q124162276) being allowed values--Trade (talk) 03:11, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so canonicity doesn't seem to be a boolian value–Shisma (talk) 12:48, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing to stop a work from having multiple canons Trade (talk) 19:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose This would mean adding a "canon: yes" statement to pretty much every existing item for a canonical subject in a work, which is needless bloat IMO. Also, as mentioned above, there's the matter of things existing in multiple canons. One of the proposed examples is for Star Wars, which has its regular canon and also "Legends". I think the idea behind this is good but there are just a lot of problems I can see in trying to implement it in practice. OmegaFallon (talk) 13:14, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Weak oppose I’m not 100% sure (as I would need to think way more about this), but my gut feeling is that canonicity is something that is inherently contextual − which canon are we talking about? «Official StarWars» vs « Legends » come to mind − and thus needs to live as a qualifier on something, not as a main statement. Would it then work to have it qualify takes place in fictional universe (P1434)? or media franchise (P8345)? Or is canon something orthogonal to both the universe and the franchise, and needs a separate proposal entirely (Perhaps Shisma’s alternative proposal aligns better with my thoughts) Jean-Fred (talk) 11:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation[edit]

This proposal is an alternative proposal for Wikidata:Property proposal/Canonicity.

  • This is a subproperty of part of (P361).
  • The subject of this property must be a work (Q386724).
  • The object of this property must be a canon (Q53815)
  • The property may be used in reference statements, if the object of the reference has no wikidata item. For instance if it is merely a url.

The truthfullness of statements should be evaluated using references. Conflicting statements of non-work entities should be ranked with

Preferred rank preferred
reason for preferred rank (P7452)at least one source is considered canonical (Q106831793) (example)
Deprecated rank depricated
reason for deprecated rank (P2241)source is not considered canonical (Q124173200) (example)

Non-conflicting, statements should not be qualified with any canonicity evaluations. Instead a reference statement with stated in (P248) should be present. The object of stated in (P248) should itself have a is part of canon statement. This way a user can query which statements are relevant for a particular canon.

A statement without a reference statement should not be considered canonical – Shisma (talk) 09:16, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

 Comment Why are we not allowed to use this on fictional entities?--Trade (talk) 02:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you could qualify almost every statement of a fictional entity with with whether it is canon or not but that would be:
  1. a lot of work
  2. a lot of redundancy
because the question can be answerd purely on the fact if the information is taken from a work that is part of the body of a canon or if it isn't. thats why I propose only qualify conflicting statements with existing properties. It is a common misconception that an information or statement can be canon. A canon is a collection of works – Shisma (talk) 08:10, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I literally said nothing about statements Trade (talk) 14:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. do you have an example? – Shisma (talk) 15:42, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ah, you mean like a character? – Shisma (talk) 15:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah Trade (talk) 16:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
so you mean statements like:
Professor Moriarty (Q283111)is part of canoncanon of Sherlock Holmes (Q2316684)
I think it would be more correct and straightforward forward to say:
Professor Moriarty (Q283111)present in work (P1441)The Final Problem (Q228119) + The Final Problem (Q228119)is part of canoncanon of Sherlock Holmes (Q2316684)
But I'd be fine with the former too. Other opinions? – Shisma (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support, an important property for fiction.--Arbnos (talk) 14:00, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I have a slight preference for this one. But Trade's proposal has the advantage that it is possible to make it explicit that something is not part of a certain canon (using canon status:non-canon, restricted to the canon using applies to work (P10663), for instance). With this property we can only express that something is not part of a certain canon if we are complete with respect to that canon. We can use <no value> if there is really no canon this work belongs to, but couldn't there be a Simpsons-Sherlock-Holmes-Crossover that is considered part of the Simpsons canon but not part of the Sherlock Holmes canon? (I could not think of a real example and I'm not sure if this is a likely scenario). How would we express this? - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 12:47, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I suppose proving that something is not part of any canon is like proving that something doesn't exist. Maybe it is part of my headcanon that I published on my entirely irrelevant weblog in the late 90s. There would also be an infinite number of works that are not part of a canon. For instance: every Episode of the Simpsons is not in the Sherlock Holmes Canon. I'd say we can add unknown if we don't have a complete catalog of canon items. – Shisma (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    In general you're right. I was just thinking of cases where one would expect that a work is part of a canon but it is not. E.g. for every episode of The Simpsons (Q886) it may be expected that it is part of The Simpsons canon (or I would expect that), but Treehouse of Horror II (Q2376730) is not. It is somehow more interesting that an episode of The Simpsons (Q886) is not part of The Simpsons canon than that it is part of the canon. It is somehow similar to does not have part (P3113) - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 08:03, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Valentina.Anitnelav: you mean like not found in (P9660) (opposite of described by source (P1343))? – Shisma (talk) 13:00, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, or like this (depending on how you think of the relationship between a canon and its "parts"). On the other hand I think my Simpsons-Holmes-expample (where we could not use <no value>) would be very, very rare. Probably we can just forget about it. - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, lets keep in mind that is not part of canon could be useful in the future for edge cases – Shisma (talk) 16:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support - Weak support. Preferring Trade's proposal. My focus (admittedly I've been on a bit of a wiki-break lately due to IRL priorities) around here has been with works such as the Touhou Project, where canonicity can be fuzzy at times, thanks to the series mostly being the work of just one developer. The first five games in the series were made for the Japanese PC-98 computer in the late '90s. After the PC-98 was discontinued around the turn of the millennium, the series "started over" with 2002's Touhou Koumakyou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, featuring Reimu and Marisa (the deuteragonists) but none of the other characters from the PC-98 games. Only two PC-98 characters (Yuuka Kazami and Alice Margatroid) have ever reappeared in a later Windows game, with both having been redesigned to some degree. When asked about the PC-98 games' canonicity, ZUN (the sole creator) has stated multiple times that (paraphrased) "PC-98 canon applies as long as Windows canon doesn't conflict with it." However ZUN doesn't always section everything off, and the fans are left with "Is this still canon or is this decanonized?" type-of-questions. (For example, Yuuka Kazami had a big mansion-esque building in Touhou 4 (a PC-98 game). She (eventually) reappeared in Touhou 9 (a Windows game)... just in a big flower field, with no sign of a mansion. Did it get removed (decanonized) and replaced with the flower field? Did we just not see it in Touhou 9? Who knows! So would "stuff" (I use the term loosely) discarded in such a manner - never outright stated to have been decanonized, but partially overwritten and otherwise not brought up again - be considered part of a "canon of X" item, or do they not? Or would they be part of a separate "canon of X (old)" item? -- Kurzov (talk) 17:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know any particulars of this franchise. But here's my interpretation and how I suppose the proposed property would apply: There is apperently a work that "is part of a canon" and another work that is "(only partially) part of a canon". Sorry for repeating myself: this property is only concerned with works, not anyone's interpretation of what can be seen in them. In short, i'd model this with the qualifier: nature of statement (P5102) partially (Q100349848)Shisma (talk) 19:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We could probably use an item named "loose canon" for this. Trade (talk) 02:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation[edit]

Various websites, articles and scientific papers come with comma seperated tags that represent the content of a page often marked with the HTML tag <meta name="keywords" content="keywords, go, here, …"/>. Those can be actually helpful to find things using the good old search function (of this very website) as it finds strings in every entity. it might also be helpful in data mining. Not unlike author name string (P2093) values should ideally main subject (P921) or alias or something similiar.

I'll make sure Wikidata for Web (Q99894727) will be able to semi-automatically extract keywords from websites. –Shisma (talk) 19:26, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

 Comment a couple of thoughts on this:
* a comma-separated list is rather unstructured (and there's a length limit on values in Wikidata) - I think it would be better to have each string (separated by commas) entered as separate values.
* You could use main subject with <unknown value> and the string value as object named as (P1932) qualifier value.
ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:54, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Conditional support if they can be separate values. I like it as either main statement or qualifier, no preference. If it is a main statement, it would be nice to qualify them with the item for their concept. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 03:33, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see your points. author name string (P2093) has the same issues (and solutions) doesn't it? How about I change the title to document keyword(s) and say it can be used as a claim or qualifier for url properties. – Shisma (talk) 08:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tend to  Oppose as not structured and not clearly resolvable to structured information; author name string (P2093) has the clear implication that it should in the future be resolvable to author (P50), and (it is stated that even something like) scope and content (P7535) has a particular structure to its values. Arthur's suggestion to use 'unknown' main subjects with P1932 qualifiers is much better. Mahir256 (talk) 16:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
