Example 3	The Ego and Its Own (Q1193108) → Datenbank des deutschsprachigen Anarchismus (Q1172352)

Motivation

Many research projects contribute substantially to Wikidata. They might even use Wikidata as their main database, e.g. the research project "Places of Gestapo terror in present-day Lower Saxony" (Q107008182). At this moment, research projects have no proper way of displaying items which they have created or to which they have contributed. Neither can they cannot isolate items important for their research via a simple query.

As a workaround, "Places of Gestapo terror" uses the property "collection" (P195) pointing to the item "Places of Gestapo terror in present-day Lower Saxony (test version)" (Q106571749), which is an instance of a "collection | version, edition or translation". In our view, this is not a satisfying solution.

A similar property (P131) already exists in FactGrid (https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/Property:P131), demonstrating the utility of such an identifier for collaborative research.

Motivation

(Related to this discussion)

Acute accents are used in some languages (e.g. Russian and Ukrainian) for showing stressed vowels. They are optional but show this phonetic property and so are often useful (probably the situation is similar to vocalized name (P4239)) and ruwiki and ukwiki require names with acutes to be used as the definition in lead sections. Probably the property will be most usefully used in people but it can be used in all items. Well very well (talk) 05:57, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tend to Oppose as very tailored to a specific pronunciation denotation scheme in a specific language. I wonder if broadening the scope of pronunciation (P7243), which too was initially proposed for Russian but since expanded to other languages, might be more appropriate here. Mahir256 (talk) 21:55, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't see that property before this proposal, thanks! I'm not sure why is it called that way if it means the same thing...
I would suggest then renaming that property (probably "name with stresses"/"name with acutes" doesn't really fit for lexemes, but it's still OK in my opinion — at least it conveys the meaning better than "pronounciation") and expanding its scope to include items. Well very well (talk) 22:43, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The only thing is — if we rename it then probably pronunciation audio (P443) and IPA transcription (P898) should no longer be used as its qualifiers (and just be used as standalone properties of the lexeme), so a bot run will be required. Well very well (talk) 22:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Well very well: Any name that involves a specific diacritic is in some sense a tailoring to particular schemes or languages (not all languages use acute accents to denote stress, after all), which the broadening of P7243 has tried to avoid, so renaming that property is something I too would oppose. I do not believe disallowing certain qualifiers as a consequence of a broadening of P7243 would be appropriate, but I wonder what others think of such a broadening in the first place. Mahir256 (talk) 21:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you've broaden the description of it (and the old description should've corresponded to a narrower name) — could you please share some examples of how it is used for other languages currently?

In any case, even if it would be not specifically for acutes, I still think "pronounciation" is a bad name — maybe "name with pronounciation marks"/"name with phonetic marks" then... Well very well (talk) 09:19, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Well very well: Here are some examples in Turkish, Hausa, Igbo, Zulu, and even English. Mahir256 (talk) 16:47, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Isn't it just a mistake in the last case? Yiddish lexeme is not the same as the English one, no?) Well very well (talk) 22:30, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahir256 @Well very well I do think there is a case to be made for a property like vocalized name (P4239) with a broader scope for lexeme forms specifically, and distinct from the pronunciation (P7243) property for canonical diacritic-bearing forms. There are some semantic difficulties in coming up with an appropriate name. This is a more specific use case than pronunciation which can include pronunciation respellings, and exclude notation systems which are still opaque about details of the pronunciation.

If we take the lexeme L1311650, the inflections are differentiated by accent/pitch; however, this accent can be grave or acute, and the absence of a diacritic is still information which can be used to distinguish forms. In the cases of pitch accent, an accent is actually marked by the absence of a diacritic. If a property is created with a broader scope than this proposal, I would suggest calling it something like "fully diacriticized form" or "fully diacriticized representation", and have it take monolingual text (not a bare string). عُثمان (talk) 19:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@عُثمان @Mahir256 I don't think it should be a distinct property, in my opinion all we need is:

rename the property from "pronounciation" to a more concrete name,
broad the scope to include items,
fix the descriptions (currently most languages use the old one about only acutes),
move the qualifiers with a bot.

I didn't know about Vedic accent, thanks! Probably in such a case "fully diacriticized/accented form/representation" is indeed the best name (using monolingual text is already a part of the proposal, and existing property also has that).
I'm not sure about difference between diacriticized/accented — as far as I understand difference of their meaning (I'm not sure that I understand it correct) — "accents" is used only for stresses/long vowels/tones, while "diacritics" refer to general "marks on letters", which can turn a sound into a completely different one. E.g. "ï" in "naïve" is considerably different from "i" and I don't think we should put "naïve" as a value for this property into a lexem for "naive".
(By the way, are there some property like "alternate spelling" for lexemes? E.g. it's strange that naive (L24695) and naïve (L227251) or матрас (L125965) and матрац (L125969) aren't only not the same, but even don't link to together in any way) Well very well (talk) 22:57, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Well very well Diacritics can be used for things other than accent, stress, or pitch in some languages. In Hausa for example, there are diacritics used for vowel length and the retroflex allophone of "r" which is not normally shown in writing.

Lexemes are generally split based on etymology and/or distinct syntactic behaviour or inflection, with some case by case discretion depending on language. I would suggest merging those two English lexemes, since naïve is just an older spelling of naive, but leaving the Russian ones separate as various languages which borrow extensively from Russian have a word derived from one of those forms but not the other. عُثمان (talk) 23:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I am fine with "full diacriticized form/representation" name if you think it's better. Well very well (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahir256 @عُثمان @ArthurPSmith Do you agree to such a proposal (the numbered list in the comment above)? If so, I think I can try to implement it. Well very well (talk) 02:48, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This seems like it should be a property of lexemes - (A) this is language-specific and (B) stressed syllables wouldn't generally be different for different people with the same name, would it? Also why is this proposal limited to names? ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:50, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This was discussed above — it was found that there already is a property for lexemes and it was proposed to extend it to items. It should not be exclusive to lexemes.
> stressed syllables wouldn't generally be different for different people with the same name, would it?
There are ton of cases where names could be spelled in one language the same but had different stressed syllable. Also I don't think we have an item for every given and family name (probably a very small percent actually).
Proposal is not limited to names, even the examples include Australia (Q408). Well very well (talk) 02:57, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll defer to whatever Mahir256 thinks on this, I'm not really following. The reason I asked about "name" was from the proposed "name with acutes" label for the property; I guess the label is still under discusison here. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:15, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
TL;DR: first this proposal was created as a proposal for a new property but then (as the existing property was mentioned in the discussion) became a proposal for modifying and extending that property. The current proposed label ("full diacriticized form" or "full diacritized representation") doesn't include word "name" in it. Well very well (talk) 04:29, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation

capital cost (P2130) already captures the initial capital cost of an object (building, vehicle, etc) but there is no equivalent property for capturing the recurring ongoing costs of maintaining and operating an object.

Qualifiers such as determination method or standard (P459) and valid in period (P1264) would be very important to use with this property as there are many ways to calculate an operating cost for equipment or a building. In the Tesla Model 3 example provided (USD$623/year) this was only an estimate valid at a point in time, for the first five years of ownership of a car, and excluding a number of other operating costs such as electricity and insurance.

--Dhx1 (talk) 03:22, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Weak support A week support from me, because I think it needs a qualifier of sort. I think the cost of annual ownership can benefit from qualifier of a country, region, city, where it's owned. For example, cost of ownership of Tesla car in Norway and US differ tremendously. Also, I think it would benefit from more time periods like 5 year and so on, but I'm not certain about it. --David Osipov (talk) 12:11, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The time span should be specified using duration (P2047) qualifier; otherwise you need to create items for every combination of currencies with day/week/month/year, which would be a nightmare for editors and data consumers. Dexxor (talk) 17:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Operating cost will change over time and from place to place, while the cost of building a building is final at a point in time. There is no such thing as a fixed operating cost for most things, typically it will depend on a lot of factors. This means the value will have to be constantly updated and it may also like other time-series data start to accumulate. While the data might be of use to some, in all likelihood it will suffer from being permanently out of date meaning there are better sources for this data.

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]

Discussion

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.

Ich würde aber nicht für jeden Prefix der Nummer eine eigene Eigenschaft erstellen, sondern alle Typen von Einheiten, Betreibern usw. unter einer zusammenfassen. (Daher würde ich auch die beiden Wikidata Einträge zusammenlegen, weil es eigentlich der selbe Identifikator ist.) Weißt du darüber hinaus, ob das Online-Portal eine Möglichkeit bietet anhand der MaStR-Nummer auf den jeweiligen öffentlichen Registereintrag zu verlinken? (sowas wie marktstammdatenregister.de/{MaStR-Nummer} leitet dann auf die entsprechende Seite im Register weiter) Aus formellen Gründen wären außerdem zwei weitere Beispiele noch gut. Printstream (talk) 00:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi!
- Zwei weitere Beispiele habe ich ergänzt.
- Mir wäre es (leider) nicht bekannt, dass aus der MaStR-Nummer auf den Eintrag verlinkt werden kann
- Dein Vorschlag die IDs für Einheiten, Betreiber usw. unter einer Eigenschaft zusammenzufassen klingt sinnvoll. Ich ändere das und gehe davon aus, dass das kein Problem ist und kein neuer Vorschlag nötig ist.
P170 (talk) 08:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ergänzung: Zusammenfassen bedeutet allerdings, dass eine Einheit bei Wikidata mehrere MaStR-Nummern erhält: Für die Einheit an sich, dann gibt es bspw. noch eine MaStR-Nummer für die EEG-Anlage und teilweise eine MaStR-Nummer für die Genehmigung. Diese beiden letztgenannten Beispiele fallen ja auch unter das eine Wikidata-Objekt. Siehst Du da ein Problem oder hattest Du das schon einkalkuliert? P170 (talk) 08:59, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mehrere MaStR-Nummern pro Objekt sind kein Problem, können dann per Qualifier einfach spezifiziert werden. Da müsste man sich dann auf eine einheitliche Methode einigen. Vielleicht mit instance of (P31) und dann jeweils eigenen Wikidata-Objekten für die 23 verschiedenen Prefixe/Typen von Einträgen. Wegen der Weiterleitung habe bei der BNetzA mal angefragt. Printstream (talk) 10:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support @P170: @SuPich: Endlich nach viel hin und her: https://www.marktstammdatenregister.de/MaStR/suche/$1 ist der Endpunkt. Habe den Vorschlag dementsprechend angepasst. Printstream (talk) 00:05, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bzgl. der Verlinkung: In der URL ist eine eindeutige ID erkennbar, z. B. 3046180: https://www.marktstammdatenregister.de/MaStR/Einheit/Detail/IndexOeffentlich/3046180

Diese verändert sich auch nicht, könnte also auch als Referenz-ID verwendet werden, um auf das MaStR zu verlinken. Evtl. könnte man sich dann auch die übrigen IDs sparen.

Ansonsten würde ich dieses Proposal auf jeden Fall unterstützen, da im MaStR viele relevante Informationen drinstecken!

-- SuPich (talk) 22:36, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ein bisschen Reverse Engineering hat mich auf folgende API gebracht: https://www.marktstammdatenregister.de/MaStR/Schnellsuche/Schnellsuche?praefix=SEE&mastrNummerOrId=930503783721

Die Response ist {"url":"/MaStR/Einheit/Detail/IndexOeffentlich/3046180"}, liefert also die gewünschte URL.

Das gleiche funktioniert dann z.B. auch mit der EEG-Nummer, die auf (fast) dieselbe URL führt, nur mit dem passendem Abschnitts-Anker: https://www.marktstammdatenregister.de/MaStR/Schnellsuche/Schnellsuche?praefix=EEG&mastrNummerOrId=910547427461

{"url":"/MaStR/Einheit/Detail/IndexOeffentlich/3046180#eeg"}

Falls es also möglich ist, diese API anzubinden, könnten wir auch direkt diese Nummern verwenden. SuPich (talk) 22:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Are the entities described by this ID actually notable? Individual wind turbines for example? That seems a stretch to plan to include them all. ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't focus solely on wind turbines, as the ID also captures a wide range of other entities. The register contains almost all entities that are in some way connected to the German energy infrastructure. This includes larger power plants of all kinds, thousands of companies (e.g., grid operators or all German municipal utilities, for which, to my knowledge, there is no other identifier in Germany), as well as authorities, energy trading platforms, business associations, and more.

To add which licenses a person (or organisation for that matter) have I think would be useful. I'm new to Wikidata and this is my first proposal, so if I missed something just tell me :) // Kakan spelar (talk) 15:20, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think driver's license should be included because it's hard to determine that and so many people have it. --Prototyperspective (talk) 16:22, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agrees. Should also exclude trucks, buses, motorcycles, scooters, tractors and snow-scooters. Infrastruktur (talk) 16:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be open to allow the use for driver's licenses on fictional characters? In some TV shows there are whole episodes where someone getting an driver's license becomes an plot point Trade (talk) 00:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then I think this should be set on main subject or something like that. Driver's license could be added a later point maybe if there is some large database(s) that can easily be imported from *and* some bot/scripts that make sure all items with instance of: human have the accurate value set...but I doubt that would be a good idea for quite a while: if the driver's license is set then that may be outdated data or wrongly entered and if it is not set that doesn't mean the person doesn't have that license. Prototyperspective (talk) 01:25, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Prototyperspective That many people have it is irrelevant, right? Every human has a name, yet that hasn't been an opposing vote towards that property. Regarding how to determine it, verifiability through references is possible, as it is for all claims, so really not special for this property either. Ainali (talk) 18:22, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You did not address any of the points I was making. Prototyperspective (talk) 19:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Should we set the domain to human (Q5)? Are there long term permits that organization have that are worthy of mention? Contractors get permits to put up a house. SpaceX gets permission to fire off a rocket in a limited time-window. Some rights granted by laws are self-evident, e.g. police have a de jure monopoly on use of violence. Infrastruktur (talk) 16:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Including fictional human (Q15632617) will allow us to list James Bond as having a license to kill, lol. Infrastruktur (talk) 16:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if we should include driver licenses or not. I feel like it could be relevant, but at the same time many people have them so... Here in Sweden it would be simple to see if a person have a driver license or not because it is included in our Freedom of information but I don't know how it is in other countries.

I'm not aware how licenses for organizations work, I just guessed that they also have licenses given to them. For police, I don't know if it would work to have permits (P8738)→use of force (Q971119) in the item for a police department or something like that. But my main focus is for people.

About James Bond, I think that would be a perfect case for this property! :D // Kakan spelar (talk) 17:16, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would focus on companies' licenses to operate services, mineral extraction etc, rather than the trivia of people's driving or pilot's licences. Vicarage (talk) 19:01, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This would make more sense, agree. At least for a start, things could be changed once large databases can be imported from. Prototyperspective (talk) 19:08, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we need large databases to import from? Trade (talk) 04:27, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like reassurance that this property would be well-used, rather than created in a fit of enthusiasm, and then the creator moves on. The James Bond stuff is rather foolish, so it needs a proper mandate with expected numbers of entries. Vicarage (talk) 10:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Explained it above. Also it's useless, unreliable, and very incomplete. Prototyperspective (talk) 17:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We understand what uses the property can have on Q5, but should look more into which permits for organizations are worth listing. Rocket launch permissions are pointless to list since they are per-launch and implied. Mineral extraction permissions are given for a long term period IIRC and useful to list, same goes for extraction rights for other natural resources like oil, natural gas, wood coal and maybe fish. When we talk about services, aren't things like contracts for bus, rail or air transportation well enough covered by the operator claim with start and end time? Permits for financial institutions and insurance providers might also be implied, if they operate, they have a permit basically. Private schools and healthcare providers I'm not sure about, it might suffice with the personal authorizations, it might not. What about environmental permits? License to dam up a river for use with hydroelectric turbines, or permissions to pollute. Permissions to operate or work in hazardous conditions that would normally be forbidden: think privately contracted search and rescue or other critical fields. Infrastruktur (talk) 20:06, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The property is broad enough to see a decent amount of use Trade (talk) 22:44, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the use of that? It can't be used for anything because items could not have it set despite the person having some common license and vice versa if it is set that may be outdated if not wrong. Just a time-sink of no use as far as I can see but maybe using it for uncommon licenses would be useful, especially if there is a DB to import from.

- @VIGNERON, Maxime Ravel: I think that Wikidata's guideline when creating properties is to discern as much as possible the informational components of each website, and I believe that Universalis' indexes are clusters similar to newspaper and media topics. Therefore, the presence of this property is more than necessary in order to optimize access to the French-language content of this renowned encyclopedia. Regards. Soufiyouns (talk) 08:21, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Soufiyouns: yes, but only if the identifier are different. Are they here? Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 08:27, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@VIGNERON: A good example to think about is the British Museum (Q6373) website which is currently represented in Wikidata by 4 properties: British Museum person or institution ID (P1711), British Museum object ID (P8565), British Museum place ID (P3633), British Museum thesaurus ID (P3632). Regards. Soufiyouns (talk) 08:43, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the confusion stems from the fact that all the examples you put in the proposal are ones that are also articles. -Ash Crow (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, when entering a keyword in the search box of the Universalis website, you will have the results displayed in categories with the number of items in parentheses.

Motivation

VejinBooks is a modern initiative to collect and digitize Kurdish literary and historical texts, supporting Central Kurdish (ck), Northern Kurdish (nk), English (en), and Persian (fa). While I’m unsure about the expected completeness value, the project will likely reach a fixed number of authors. I mention Goodreads simply to highlight the type of project, making it easier to compare properties, not as a direct connection to VejinBooks. If this property is created, I will request another for their books. Years ago, I created ckb:داڕێژە:ڤەژینبوکس for this purpose, and I believe it’s time for VejinBooks to have dedicated properties on Wikidata. Thanks! Aram (talk) 05:13, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Example 8	Royal National Lifeboat Institution (Q2166873) → "en:RNLB"
Example 9	training vessel (Q660668) → "en:TS"
Planned use	populate using ship prefix (Q1501958) WP articles as a guide

Motivation

Ship prefixes (and more generally watercraft prefixes to include submarines and boats) are commonly used for both naval and merchant vessels. They are initialisms to a complicated pattern (see Ship prefix on Wikipedia), often varying in time and with language, and as yet we have no way of recording them. This property could be combined with short name (P1813) as an alternative to coding many name (P2561). I would be sympathetic to having this property broadened to be be just "prefix" if other similar use cases can be identified. Vicarage (talk) 09:28, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really monolingual text, or just a string value? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:50, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I mean - yes I see the two different ones for Canada for example, but are both really used? I only ever saw HMCS when I was there (but admittedly an English-speaking area). ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Format needs to be the en:"" one, whatever that is called. No idea what non-English speakers actually do beyond what their WPs say, I was expecting them to document that side of things. Vicarage (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I guess it would be better to use a country qualifier instead of monolinguals since there are countries where they speak more than one language and, some languages are spoken in more than one country, for instance english is spoken in the US and the UK as a native language. I support the proposal in general, but this should be left open for a while so it can be properly discussed. From an earlier discussion this is to be used on items for navies and ship classes primarily, yes? Or do you want to use it individual watercraft items too? Infrastruktur (talk) 09:44, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My first thought for recording it was with navies, where the country is stated elsewhere. I guess a French Canadian would query Royal Canadian Navy (Q25387) and FILTER on LANG fr. Certainly watercraft. I don't like narrow proposals, as in encourages others to create duplicates with their sub-interests. No reason why it couldn't be called "prefix", as that's what I'd have used for this if it were available.

I can't think of naval examples with different prefixes adopted by different countries with shared languages, perhaps there are merchant ones, but en-gb and en-us etc should cover that, and a very few country qualifiers for edge cases.

Not so clear where to record this for merchant vessels, probably at watercraft type (Q16335899), for consistency we could not use navies but naval vessel (Q177597) and rely on a query stopping at the first match in the chain, to handle the {His/Her Majesties} {Ship/Submarine/Tug} change of letter.

Motivation

The Japan Standard Industrial Classification (Q11508310) is the standard industrial classification system in Japan, managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (総務省). It is widely used in statistics and administrative processes, similar to ISIC, NAICS, and SIC.

Adding JSIC as a property in Wikidata will improve the organization of industry-related data and facilitate cross-referencing with international classification systems. By applying this property to industry sector items rather than individual companies, and linking them using main subject (P921), industry (P452) or similar properties, it will help better structure company-related data in Japan and enable more precise categorization and analysis.--Likibp (talk) 15:44, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Single-value constraint	yes
Distinct-values constraint	yes

Motivation

Breitbart News is one of the most well-known news websites in the United States (if not the English-speaking world) so it will fit well on Wikidata along with all the other news website tag identifiers

I'm just gonna point it out before anyone else. Having this identifier does not mean that either i or Wikidata endorses the website or it's content or opinions – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trade (talk • contribs) at 16:06, February 18, 2025 (UTC).

Discussion

Oppose Just because it's a frequented website doesn't make it useful to interconnect it here. Not useful. --Prototyperspective (talk) 17:22, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Unfortunately a valid Wikidata property to identify news website topics (Q105946994) just like any other. Necessary for a balanced coverage of news website topics. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 04:26, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not it's necessary kind of depends on how the properties to identify news website topics are being used. If they are actually used in some way where adding this one would be useful, e.g. similar to Ground News then adding this one may make sense and I may revoke my opposition / a new proposal could be made.

marshmallow shouldn't be linked like that – create an item about roasted marshmallow or marshmallow-roasting if there is none yet and add it there. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:34, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What about recipes and DIY projects on wikiHow that start with "Make", "Create" or "Cook"? Xeverything11 (talk) 19:04, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should be added to items about xy as food / xy dish. Would be easier to say with examples. If it's an instance or subclass of type of food or dish (Q19861951), I think it generally could be added there. Prototyperspective (talk) 15:24, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

As a wikifarm, it is not a uniform site, and there is no connection between the URLs across the different sites. If an individual site is notable, its own property could be proposed, though more likely described by source (P1343)/URL (P2699)

I've been following the gradual decline of Wikidot for years, and no development is occurring, attempts to sell it have failed, and most of its sites are moribund. It is no longer a significant player in the wiki market. See https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Wikidot

For these reasons, I Oppose the proposal. Vicarage (talk) 19:16, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The wiki have 12 million page. I think we can justify an identifier even if the site is not in it's best shape Trade (talk) 05:37, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
