Wikidata:Properties for deletion

Properties for deletion This is the page for requesting the deletion of a property (for items, with IDs beginning with "Q", please use requests for deletions). To nominate a property for deletion, complete the following steps: Place the {{Property for deletion}} template on the property talk page. Open the discussion by typing the property number below and pressing "Add a new request". Transclude the subpage under #Requests below. Notify the user who originally proposed the property and the property creator who created it on their respective talk pages. Check if the property is being used in other projects (using {{ExternalUse}}) and if it is, leave a message on a project discussion page by notifying the participants. Requests may be closed after 7 days, but may be extended if consensus is not reached. If an extended discussion becomes stale and has been left unclosed, a request for closure can be made at the administrators' noticeboard. If the request is uncontroversial, for example "accidentally created with wrong datatype", please use the faster-moving requests for deletions instead. Properties for deletion may be used: To merge a property to another, or request to deprecate a property in favor of another. To change the data type of a property currently being used. Rarely, to delete a property with no replacement (e.g. it refers to an external website that is closed and/or not suitable for Wikidata). Properties for deletion should not be used: To change the scope or purpose of a property; these should be discussed at the talk page of the property, project chat, or requests for comment. To request of undeletion of a property. To challenge a recently closed properties for deletion, you may use administrators' noticeboard; otherwise, you may repropose the property. Edit

On this page, old requests are archived. An overview of all archives can be found at this page's archive index. The current archive is located at Wikidata:Properties for deletion/Archive/2023/2.

Kicker.de player ID (former scheme) (P6615)

Kicker.de player ID (former scheme) (P6615): (delete | history | links | entity usage | logs | discussion)

Kicker changed its website, and all the IDs that we have stored are invalid now. Therefore this property is not useful anymore. Steak (talk) 15:38, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

many of the id's links are archived. e.g. this one. though the link format is broken at the moment. deprecate and mark as obsolete but keep. here's a list of archived entries. BrokenSegue (talk) 16:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

If this property is deleted, the non-numeric identifiers should be transferred to the new property prior to being removed. S.A. Julio (talk) 17:28, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Kicker.de player ID (actual scheme) (P8912) has been created. Pamputt (talk) 21:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

I would love to say  Delete, @BrokenSegue: to me the scheme has been largely changed, results the former property can't compatible with the current scheme entirely, probably the core algorithm of this service has re-written. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 14:48, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

•  Keep Even though the ID is not visible in the URL anymore, it is still present in the source code of the page and still works fine to redirect to the page (eg.). I added some Wikidata usage instructions within the property page in order to retrive the ID : "To find the Kicker ID, open the page source and look after "objectId: "spielersteckbrief: XXXXX"" where XXXXX is the ID". Therefore I think this property has no reason to be deleted Kwayst (talk) 16:22, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

  @Kwayst: in light of the comment by CennoxX are you happy to now support deletion? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:36, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Delete I have added all IDs that were only in the old kicker format in the new kicker format to the Wikidata-Items. Therefore there shouldn’t be a need for the old property.–CENNOXX (talk) 10:13, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Bashkir encyclopedia (Russian version) ID (former scheme) (P4211): (delete | history | links | entity usage | logs | discussion)

In 2019 Bashkin Encyclopedia opened a new websize bashenc.online, opened a new website, where versions in Russian, Bashkir and English were combined under a single code (Property:P9222).

  @MSGJ No, the data has not been migrated. Therefore, a special bot is needed here to transfer all identifiers before deleting the property. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 08:29, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

  In Wikidata:Properties for deletion/P4210 the question was asked about how to map one to the other. Can you provide any detail on this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

  @MSGJ With regards to this, the Bashkir Encyclopedia used to have two different versions with different pages. Now there is one version with three languages - Russian, Bashkir and English. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 04:48, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

• What is the problem? If it's discountinued project just modify url with archived version to Wayback Archive to property or just update to new url if project was just moved.

• There are currently 912 uses as main statements. There is also a separate Mix'n'match catalog for this: https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog/272

This in addition to the 1057 uses of Bashkir encyclopedia (Russian version) ID (former scheme) (P4211) mentioned above and its https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog/271 catalogue.

Oddly the two aren't kept in synch (maybe identifiers for both properties (or all three) could be added to these.

bashenc.online ID (P9222) is hardly used (45 uses almost a year after creeation) and doesn't have a Mix'n'match catalogue.

I don't think we should delete the properties before the Mix'n'match question is resolved. I don't have much of an opinion of any of the three properties are worth keeping.

Good afternoon! Bashwiki needs help :) We would like, if one of the programmers could help, to change all the old data to new ones with one click, if this is not possible, notify us so that we do everything manually. In the previous site, the index of articles in Russian and Bashkir was different, in the new site they are the same. We will be grateful for any help: practical or theoretical :) --З. ӘЙЛЕ (talk) 05:47, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

@З. ӘЙЛЕ: If you can supply the mappings between the old ids and the new ones, you might want to make a request at Wikidata:Bot requests. These can then be added to Wikidata and Mixnmatch. --- Jura 18:34, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

• Vigorous  Oppose Historical data with an associated time is still useful, and a low Alexa rank is a very useful indication that a website was of significant interest at the time. However, entries without "point in time" should be deleted, as they are now meaningless. It may be possible to use the Internet Archive to retrieve historical data, and to use a bot to popuate these with new, dated, values. A moment's searching finds extensive backups of at least the top 50, see https://web.archive.org/web/20190228235959/https://www.alexa.com/topsites , and there is also data accessible for the top 500 if we look deeper; see, for example, https://web.archive.org/web/20160819105430/http:/www.alexa.com/topsites . This data has also been used to drive web crawling activities by the IA, who may also have archived data that can be mined for this.

•  Oppose A value by itself is a meaningless data-point. To create information in the sense of knowledge-management, there is a load of additional information required, that is not available at any data point, e.g. total amount of clicks in that period, number of clicks in that language, geographical spread, etc. Therefore, the singled out number even with a date remains non-qualifiable and therefore basically useless.

Property:P5176

KIT Linked Open Numbers ID (P5176): (delete | history | links | entity usage | logs | discussion)

Per Property_talk:P5176, this is not really an ID. —GZWDer (talk) 09:05, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 Keep It's as much of an ID as all those other sites that use some form of a person's name as their ID's. ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

The talk page include two unresolved disputes:

1. Should items like RSA-370 (Q15990672) have this property?
2. How should this property be labeled?

--GZWDer (talk) 19:54, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Actually, I don't see any unresolved dispute. The KIT Linked Open Numbers (Q51279230) website provides data about 999,999,999,999 natural numbers (from 1 to 999,999,999,999), so the answer to the first question is "no". The answer to the second question is "the current one": any label that aims to generalize the property would make the property itself coincide with numeric value (P1181).

I think the only question we should ask ourselves is: is KIT Linked Open Numbers a valid resource deserving to be linked? --Horcrux (talk) 20:58, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Property:P10692

DBLP event ID (P10692): (delete | history | links | entity usage | logs | discussion)

dblp computer science bibliography (Q1224715) does not have such an external identifier. This was brought up in the creation proposal by MRA but went on to be ignored. It seems they are considering and working on something like that but it currently does not exist. The formatter URL (P1630) for this property currently can link to a whole host of different things are that not in fact events, e.g., ACM Inroads, Volume 13, The dblp Advisory Board. Further, the things it was envisioned to link to are conference events but instead the links are to proceedings contents which can be sticky as they frequently are not one-to-one with the events themselves, not to mention proceedings are often published as parts of journals and books series so the "identifiers" for such an event might not match DBLP venue ID (P8926), e.g., Conference on Philosophy and Theory of Artificial Intelligence (Q105698572) -> DBLP venue ID (P8926) conf/ptai is great but Philosophy and Theory of Artificial Intelligence, PT-AI 2011, Thessaloniki, Greece, October 3-4, 2011 (Q106332070) DBLP event ID (P10692) series/sapere/sapere5 does not really match since the proceeding is published in a book series. —Uzume (talk) 02:43, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Lacking notability. 沈澄心✉ 10:26, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

There are 5 entries and all added on the same date by @C933103. That looks indeed like lack of notability. Mbch331 (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

The intent of this property is to complement the main property of Moegirlpedia ID to achieve comprehensive correspondence, as this site function as a backdrop for content deported from the main Moegirlpedia site due to Chinese regulatory rules, however the uptime of the H-moe site have been far from best in recent months, hence it would be pretty difficult for anyone to try to add new entries for the site into Wikidata in the past few months, which explain its current relative low usage. C933103 (talk) 10:14, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Situation update: It is now commonly believed that (no official proofs), members, editors, and other persons related to Hmoe pedia are starting to be taken by Chinese polices starting from roughly July this year, and starting from September the site is rendered totally inaccessible until now, and many on Chinese internet estimated that this likely mean the site is not going to return, although archive of the site remain available on like Internet Archive. Chinese Wikipedia have voted to delete their article covering this site on notability ground on September 10 while speculating the site's fate.

I think for the time being it might make more sense to edit the property so that it link to internet archive instead, and to complete the collection of pages that have been archived by the internet archive engine.

  That is for another discussion. After the site being made unavailable since earlier last month, and then earlier this month rumor on Twitter surfaced that claim contributors from China being taken away by Chinese government, Chinese Wikipedia judged the the Chinese Wikipedia article did not meet notability guideline despite expecting situation might change in short term, and hence deleted the article. With the Chinese Wikipedia article deleted, the Wikidata item no longer have any Wikipedia link and likely being deleted because of it not meeting notability criteria #1. Yet, as far as this Prperty P10724 remain in existence, I think it still meet notability criteria #3, and thus shouldn't be deleted.

  It was not officially part of Moegirlpedia but more like a complementary site to it. In the early day HMoegirl shared account database and other resources with the main Moegirlpedia site, but such arrangement have been problematic as Moegirlpedia progressively move into Chinese server and subject the wiki to Chinese government regulation, while Hmoegirl continue to host content that are against Chinese law in multiple aspects. Hence as of summer of year 2022 the official stance is no official relationship between the two sites, despite editors and contents across the sites. C933103 (talk) 12:58, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 Delete in the past Japanese publisher sent cease and desist letters to aggregators for Scanlation. Having this property might essentially makes us an aggregator for Scanlation and thus opens up the possibility of legal threads against Wikimedia. I think it's ideal if your community can self regulate in this regard and delete the property without needing to interact with Wikimedia legal. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 15:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

(Japanese publishers having sent cease and desist letters for scanlation sounds … interesting given that it’s not their – arguably monetary – rights infringed upon, but those of the author, and in Japan itself it wasn’t possible until a few years ago to take legal actions on behalf of a third party against copyright violations. Just as an aside. --2A02:8108:50BF:C694:E0F2:7F6B:7EAD:26F9 15:53, 7 November 2022 (UTC))

 Delete I created this property honestly not knowing it was a scanlation website or what scanlation was. Linking to a website that distributes copyrighted material is basically assisting in that distribution which is illegal. Lectrician1 (talk) 20:18, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

 Delete As for scanlation sites, Japanese and U.S. publishers declared in a joint statement in 2010 that they are illegal. By making them available for free, they are infringing on the financial benefits that copyright holders rightfully deserve. Afaz (talk) 04:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

While this is undoubtedly true, there are no financial benefits for copyright holders anyway if nobody publishes their work commercially in a country. If there is no “official” translation that is sold in, e.g., the US, anyone who wants to read it (in English) there has to resort to “unofficial” translations, which have no choice but to infringe on copyright. I don’t want to endorse copyright violations, in no way, but the “financial” point of view doesn’t get us anywhere here. That said, what was the point of creating links to the specific site discussed here in the first place? What benefits were seen in linking it? --2A02:8108:50BF:C694:E83C:EBFF:49AF:23CC 10:18, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

As far as the laws are concerned people can import Japanese comics whether or not they are translated. The Berne convention exists to give mutual recognition of copyright and not require products to be marketed in a country to be protected in that country. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 00:13, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

That’s not the point. There are probably many people in the world who want to read Japanese comics, but cannot read Japanese. That’s the reason why scanlation (and regular translation) exists in the first place. Of course it would be better if they paid the original authors, but the author doesn’t get any money regardless of whether someone abroad reads their comic in scanlation form (without paying) or doesn’t read it at all. Hence the “financial” point of view doesn’t get us anywhere here. There’s more to copyright than remuneration (and the Berne convention presumably exists regardless of financial considerations). --2A02:8108:50BF:C694:E83C:EBFF:49AF:23CC 12:45, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Copyright is driven by actual laws. You might disagree with those laws but they exist. Scanlation clearly creates deriviative works of copyrighted works. In the US context where Wikimedia has it's legal home, that's forbidden by copyright law unless you have permission or can argue for fair use. Courts have made many rules on copyright and have developed a concept of financial interests in the process. You might not like it or disagree with it, but that's still the law of the land. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 12:20, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Neither do I disagree with copyright laws (where did I claim that?) nor do I deny that scanlation violates them. All I’m saying is that it does not hurt the authors financially and that the claim by Afaz that they infringe on “the financial benefits that copyright holders rightfully deserve” is therefore misleading. Of course they have “financial interests” – they are selling their works in Japan, after all –, but that’s different from “financial benefits”. (Easy example: A greengrocer has a financial interest in getting vegetables sold, but no financial benefit if nobody buys them – a reason for which might be that all the people who would like to buy them live in another city. Does this make stealing the vegetables from the greengrocer and giving them away for free in that other city legal? Obviously not. Does the greengrocer have a financial damage? No, he doesn’t receive money for the vegetables anyway.) But let’s stop this pointless discussion here – both of us agree that scanlation is a copyright violation, while we seem to disagree on why it is (or maybe not; the deriviative work argument is independent of financial aspects, and I’m not sure the US context is actually necessary for it, but anyway). The reason why it derailed was probably my justification for the continuing widespread existence of scanlation despite its illegality – which is unnecessary for the point I wanted to make, I think (now). --2A02:8108:50BF:C694:29E6:BE9C:1625:78C8 20:07, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

The reason why I’m so nit-picky about this is that it often gets mixed up. If remuneration were the problem, scanlators could solve it by taking money from their “customers” and using it to pay the original authors – but in the absence of permission to do so this would still be a copyright violation. That there is more to copyright than remuneration can also be seen in the advent of Creative Commons licences, where copyright holders waive their right to remuneration without (necessarily) waiving other rights they deserve, such as proper attribution (a misconception many have: “It’s free, so I can use it any way I want”). --2A02:8108:50BF:C694:29E6:BE9C:1625:78C8 20:33, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

•  Question I see questions of copyright here but if this was actually an issue of concern with wiki projects merely linking, then wouldn't this be a major issue with wiki projects linking to the Internet Archive (Internet Archive ID (P724) and the works there that are still under copyright?

@Jeanjung212: Can you link any item there where the site infringes the copyright? On the first look, all the content looks like public domain and creative commons as well as previews. Also, not that copyright is not the problem. There are also links to Netflix. Copyright infringement is the problem. --Christian140 (talk) 07:58, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

This website (linked from Tetris (Q71910)), for example, doesn’t seem to be public domain, so technically (ianal) the Internet Archive is infringing on the creator’s copyright by making a copy of it available. (It’s just that no one bothers to sue the Internet Archive, I think.) --Data Consolidation Officer (talk) 21:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Hmmm. But on all websites where every user can upload content, copyright infringement happens. On wikipedia and commons, too. Just, eventually it gets deleted. However, for mangadex, copyright infringement is the core of the website. For internet archive, they have this site: Rights – Internet Archive Help Center. So, you could report content you think that infringes copyright. But here, I am actually not sure if it is copyright infringement. A lot of old software is made available for free and you can download them from many serious websites. --Christian140 (talk) 08:01, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Internet Archive, or archiving in general, might even be covered by Fair Use (I simply don’t know). And given the large number of pages archived there, reporting copyright violations would be a Sisyphean task. As I stated below, I don’t think there’s a legal issue with mere linking, but P10589 is very dispensable anyway. --Data Consolidation Officer (talk) 20:23, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Linking doesn’t mean endorsing, afaik, so the site’s copyright violations alone wouldn’t be valid grounds for deletion of this property. Having a look at the property proposal discussion, however, it seems that the property was created without thorough discussion, basically because “I think properties for it would be useful”. Wikidata should, imho, be extremely restrictive with respect to which external databases it chooses to systematically link, given the considerable effort of maintaining such link collections, avoiding inconsistencies and so on. That’s why I’d tend to vote for deletion at the moment, unless someone provides a good reason why having external identifier links to the site in question is essential. --Data Consolidation Officer (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  It's 100% endorsing. You're exposing the copyrighted works to a wider audience by linking to them. You're clearly assisting in their distribution. Lectrician1 (talk) 21:30, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  Sorry, I should have made clearer that I was specifically talking about legal issues. There can of course be ethical issues with linking (depending on intention), but afaik (and ianal, so please correct me if I’m wrong) courts in various contries have established that website operators cannot be held liable for criminal violations by other sites they merely link, so Wikimedia Foundation could not be (successfully) sued for those links or something like that. Anything else is a question of whether we, as a community, want those links, but as I said, I don’t really see any reason anyway why we should. --Data Consolidation Officer (talk) 20:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

  There's a difference between having a simple link to MangaDex and having a system on Wikidata that tells Wikidata users for every manga, the exact page where they can download a copyright violating copy of that manga. Having a link to every single manga, is like torrent websites that link to individual content and torrent websites do face legal problems. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 11:12, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

  Which all the more raises the question why Wikidata would want such a system in the first place; a question the answer to which I still don’t see. Given that it took nine months (the property was created in early April) until someone noticed that there are copyright violations linked, I wouldn’t consider any claim about copyright infringement endorsement intentions plausible (in contrast to torrent sites; and indeed those links will have been created in good faith in most cases), but let’s the lawyers fight that out (or not). --Data Consolidation Officer (talk) 19:36, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Maybe deletion can be waited on until my bot is able to copy as many of the external linkings as possible. In that case, there is another issue brewing, as whenever my bot pulls information from MangaDex it makes a reference and puts the full URL into the reference URL property, although I theorize it would be trivial to clean those up (SPARQL query for stated in MangaDex would bring them all up).

 Weak oppose Linking isn't endorsement, and it's very useful for getting links to other manga services. Although, ultimately if it is deleted we can still use its API to grab links as long as one of AniList/MyAnimeList/Kitsu are linked, so it wouldn't be the end of the world. Ultimately, my opinion would be based on the opinion of the Wikidata team as to whether this kind of site should be linked to. FWIW, from what I can tell MangaDex does respect the wishes of copyright holders if they do request a takedown, although whether that redeems the site is debatable. Nicereddy (talk) 02:09, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

 Keep, Mangadex is just a platform (non-commercial and ad-free), which like other platforms like YouTube or Facebook could be used for publishing anything, but no evidence provided by nominator that this website opposes copyright holders in any way (other than "it is free, therefore it is illegal"). The rules are pretty restrictive there, cases when obtaining a license is required are mentioned. Lockal (talk) 04:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

The “rules” are not that “restrictive”:

Any scanlated release is allowed to be uploaded regardless of the existence of official translations […]

And even if there’s no official translation or it’s out of print, translating something that is copyright-protected and uploading it to the web is still illegal per the Berne convention (see above).

The difference with Facebook or YouTube is that they disallow illegal content and respond to DMCA requests. Thibaut (talk) 09:53, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

This property is non-free, so nobody is able to populate it. Very few uses on Wikidata. —Midleading (talk) 07:46, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 Keep At least a number of ORCID profiles contains such information (google:WOS site:orcid.org) and can be imported to Wikidata. Also it may be a good idea to introduce a subscription by The Wikipedia Library (though Scopus is not subscribed either). GZWDer (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

It's still impossible to dump the 132,277,722 records through Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library (Q16463359) and redistribute it under CC0 (Q6938433) - simply because it is unfree. For uses as references, use DOI (P356) instead. Midleading (talk) 02:52, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Many other properties link to unfree resources and Wikidata is not required to be complete. GZWDer (talk) 16:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

 Keep We are never going to be bulk-importing this (as you say, WoS is not free) but where we do pick up the ID, it is useful to keep it for future indexing/deduplication. DOI is not an adequate replacement as WoS contains a lot of material produced before DOIs were routinely issued. Andrew Gray (talk) 13:50, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

"Unused" is by itself not a valid reason of deletion. More research on this ID is needed (is this ID deprecated? succeeded by other scheme?) GZWDer (talk) 15:00, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

The URL for ICTV virus ID (P1076)source website for the property (P1896)http://ictvdb.bio-mirror.cn/Ictv/vc_code.htm seems to be invalid, although ICTV is still a thing from my google search. RPI2026F1 (talk) 19:04, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

ICTV still has a database of viruses. It seems to be on their main site now. But the database includes all the different ICTV releases of the data. Luckily, it seems to follow a semi-predictable pattern. For example, SARSr-CoV (Q278567) has the IDs 202101868 and 202001868 for the 2021 and 2020 releases, respectively. It also has a bunch of other previous releases that seem to follow the same pattern of year+id. It seems to exist, but I'm not quite sure how to use it.

This property doesn't do anything that can't be done with instance of (P31). It's needless couplication, from the discussion it seems to exist due to a misunderstand of taxon (Q16521) being a second-order class (Q24017414). If taxon (Q16521) would be a normal class it would be understandable but it being a second-order class (Q24017414) makes instance of (P31) work for the usecases.

Delete and replace with coordinate location (P625) Multichill (talk) 15:39, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

---

P10628 (P10628): (delete | history | links | entity usage | logs)

We normally use coordinate location (P625) for coordinates on multiple globes, and this is how the use of coordinates is implemented on multiple Wikimedia projects. Having a separate property for Martian coordinates just confuses things, and it isn't necessary. The main issue about not being able to select the coordinate globe via the UI is at phab:T56097 - and supporting work on that ticket would be much more useful than having a separate property for this. I can offer bot support to migrate existing uses of this property over to coordinate location (P625) with the correct globe. Thanks. —Mike Peel (talk) 20:38, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Furthermore, it seems that the support the proposal received was largely from editors that the nominator blatantly canvassed, and that valid objections were overlooked. And that proposal was only made after Wikidata:Property proposal/planetary coordinates was rejected with only a single supporter. The objectors on the original proposal were not pinged when the second one was made; and neither were the relevant projects (who were pinged for the first proposal). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:48, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
•  Keep at LEAST until the UI issue is fixed. And can you please explain "this is how the use of coordinates is implemented on multiple Wikimedia projects"? Specific examples would be nice. When we were looking at this earlier the Commons UI for example was quite confused about Martian coordinates with P625. Distinguishing between different globes with the properties is helpful for constraints and for any end-use application that doesn't know about or care to check globe - the vast majority of P625's are for Earth and don't require that check. ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

  @ArthurPSmith: Waiting until the UI issue is fixed is OK, but I'm worried that more of these are being created over time? Please at least comment on the phab ticket to help make its importance clear? For use on other Wikimedia projects, just look at the uses of coordinate location (P625). In particular, P625 is used in "coord" templates on Wikipedias, and in the Commons infobox, but this property is not. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:11, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

  @Mike Peel: "just look at the uses of coordinate location (P625)" - can you be clearer - how does one do this? Post a link? ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:33, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

  @ArthurPSmith: Go to the talk page, search for "This property is being used by:", click 'Expand'. Wish that were easier to link to! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

  @Mike Peel: Got it, thanks. That's a lot of templates, but the vast majority wouldn't apply to non-Earth objects, right? How many of them correctly handle the globe component? ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:43, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

  @Pigsonthewing, ArthurPSmith, Mike Peel: I have created a gadget to display and change the globe for P625. Add the following line to your Special:Mypage/common.js page: importScript("User:Bamyers99/CoordGlobe.js"); Clicking the globe name will display a dialog with a list of globes to choose from. Here is a query [2] of some items to try it out on. --Bamyers99 (talk) 13:17, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

  @Bamyers99: That is very nice, thanks. Hmm, I guess I really can't complain about this being missing in the UI now. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:37, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

  Nice script; thank you. I'm seeing lots of cases of features with located on astronomical body (P376) set to another body, but with the coordinates' globe set to "Earth". Is that something a bot could fix? @Mike Peel: Something for PiBot? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:31, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

• Ok, I've slashed out my "vote keep" above - I'm still not entirely comfortable deleting since I do see other reasons to have separate properties here, but I don't feel strongly about it now either way, given the UI solution we have now. ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:42, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Replace

I see clear consensus to delete P10628 (P10628) and replace it with coordinate location (P625). @Mike Peel: do you have a bot to do that? Multichill (talk) 15:39, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for closing it. I should be able to migrate values over soon. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:47, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

@Multichill: Update: I can copy over the values fine, but I can't currently figure out how to copy over any qualifier or sources at the same time, and quite a few seem to have a reference. Perhaps @Jura1: could do this more easily, since it looks like they moved the values over from P625 in the first place? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:48, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Peel: I only see five left now to do by hand. Multichill (talk) 16:54, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

@Multichill: Ah, I was mostly focusing on lunar coordinates (BEING REPLACED) (P8981), which has a few thousand. I'll clear through these ones by hand now, but ~2k is a few too many to do that with. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:57, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

OK, this one now has no uses left, and is ready to be deleted. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
