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.

‎thumbtime

Example 3	Roman aqueduct (Q13218676)video (P10)c:File:How did Roman Aqueducts work.webmthumbtime6
Allowed units	second (Q11574)

Motivation

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

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

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

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

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

•  Comment I would like to know how the Phabricator ticket T22647 is meant to relate to this proposal. Ainali (talk) 20:42, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

  It would be Commons' way to set the thumbnail – if that ever becomes possible, the thumbtimes set there could maybe largely be imported to this property. I didn't link this issue and it's relating to this proposal in that it's also about the image thumbnail preview image (there: which thumbnail shows e.g. in Commons category pages). Prototyperspective (talk) 23:38, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

  Do we have confirmation from developers that this is the way they want it to be done or might we end up with two separate ways of doing this in the end? Ainali (talk) 07:42, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

  Again, I didn't link to this issue in this proposal. It's not part of the proposal. And I just clarified that this is a separate issue. Please see It would be Commons' way [not Wikidata's and/or Wikipedia's] to set the thumbnail – if that ever becomes possible, the thumbtimes set there could maybe largely be imported to this property […] (there: which thumbnail shows e.g. in Commons category pages [here: for Wikidata items and maybe/hopefully eventually their Wikipedia articles]. (added implicit things for clarity). Prototyperspective (talk) 12:55, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

  I must be missing something here, because exactly that is what confuses me. If we create this property, and then later the devs choose to implement another solution, then this has all been made redundant. Ainali (talk) 21:27, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

  Devs of which software? If you mean devs of the Wikidata software: the thumbtime of the videos has to be stored somewhere at the place where the video is used. If it's stored differently than via a qualifier – which afaik is how all things regarding statements in Wikidata items are stored – then the qualifiers could be imported.

  • If these were used for Wikipedia or for the Commons Wikidata infobox, the qualifier could already be used.
  • For the potential application of setting the thumbtime of the video within Wikidata item webpages and in sparql query results: if the qualifier is not used (seems rather unlikely) then one could use the values written to there and set them in whatever other method of setting the thumbnail is built.

  Prototyperspective (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

  I think I meant the Mediawiki developers. If they implement a solution so that the thumbtimes can be set for the video on file page itself, and then reused everywhere where a video is being used, then this solution could become redundant. Ainali (talk) 22:52, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

  This is based on the speculation that this is possible and if it is that it will be done. I don't think there is anything else on file description pages that can be used at the places where videos are being used so this would be a novum. By the way, the best thumbnail may vary per item/subject so it's an advantage to be able to set this on a per item basis (probably quite rare though). Maybe you could ask developers whether this could/will become possible. Seeing that the issue, as with many code problems, is open since 2009, I doubt that it will be implemented any time soon. In contrast, the Wikidata infobox could I think use the thumbtime as soon as it's implemented here. Prototyperspective (talk) 23:16, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

  Wait, this was not meant to be in SDC but on items? Then everything I said can be disregarded. I would support the proposal if this was possible to understand from the template, but there's way too many empty parameters in that one still. Ainali (talk) 09:15, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

  It was meant to be set as a qualifier on items. Note: I don't object for this to be used instead or additionally as structured data on Commons if that's identified as the better method to use this property. That currently can't be queried as well and can't be used by the Wikidata infobox etc so I think use as qualifier would be better. I thought the examples (the statements) make this clear. As far as I can see, all but the status parameter (which shouldn't be set by me) are set in the property proposal template but if there's more than these and I should set some of them (or if you mean another template), please tell me which. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:52, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

  I think the parameter domain would help a lot, subject item wouldn't hurt either, and explicitly adding allowed units to the template would also make it clearer to understand at a glance. Ainali (talk) 22:22, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

   Done--Prototyperspective (talk) 00:04, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

  I am a bit confused by "property" as value for domain. I would have expected "item", because isn't it on items we will use this rather than on properties? If so, to express that it should be used as a qualifier, I think other-constraints could have property constraint (P2302)property scope constraint (Q53869507)property scope (P5314)as qualifier (Q54828449). Ainali (talk) 15:53, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

  Probably just a mistake on my side; the template documentation is imo difficult to understand: I meant it should be used on Wikidata items' properties, namely the properties into which video files on Commons are entered (video (P10) is the one I'm aware and which would be the main property). Will edit the domain – please let me know if I got it wrong. Prototyperspective (talk) 15:55, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Motivation

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

Motivation

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

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

Spinster 💬 16:40, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Discussion

• @Spinster: I think I would need to better understand what this is about - why are there separate 'en' and 'nl' identifiers? Wouldn't it make more sense to just use the number (13, 19, etc.) as the ID here, or are there other reasons the full c_... identifier is meaningful? Also, a lexeme and a concept are quite different things - a concept is more closely related to a specific sense of the lexeme. Should this be a property for senses then? ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:19, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  Hi @ArthurPSmith, thanks for your questions! I've dived into this resource pretty deeply. It's built in a complicated way, it takes a while to grasp it unfortunately. The best instrument to "grasp" it is probably the set of PDFs in this Commons category, where you compare the lists per language and the identifier links at the bottom of each page.

  • The resource has five languages, and different lists of terms/concepts per language. Single numbers don't correspond with the same concept across languages, as you can see in the example above. 'Slaaf' in Dutch has a different number than 'slave' in English. Not every language lists the same terms/concepts. To be able to build persistent URIs pointing to this resource, we do need the full identifier string as I suggested above.
  • The resource describes both concepts and words, as I mentioned above. It's not just about (a single sense of) the Lexeme "slave" but also about how the concept of "enslaved person" (its Wikidata item) is labeled in various languages. I think it's useful for us, the Wikidata and Wikimedia community, to be able to compare this resource to both Wikidata items (with labels in various languages), Lexemes, and also to be able to connect it to Wikipedia articles (partly through Wikidata). Hence my suggestion to connect this property to both Lexemes and Wikidata items.
  • I agree that on the Lexeme side, it would be most correct to connect the identifier to a specific Sense of a certain Lexeme. But I think that's not technically possible (?); hence a compromise to (for now) connect it to the Lexeme as a whole.

  I really wish it were more simple; that would allow us to have more clear conversations on this topic. But it is what it is. I think that actually adding the identifiers to Wikidata items and Lexemes will clarify a lot :-) Spinster 💬 19:37, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  Properties can be specific to senses of lexemes - item for this sense (P5137) is specifically just for senses for example. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:46, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  It may be given the complexity you mention that this should be several distinct properties, not just one. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:47, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  If properties specific for senses of lexemes are possible, then I am all for that. Thanks for the suggestion!

  I've been thinking about the idea to split this into several properties but I think it has more drawbacks than advantages. It is one single resource with one single formatter URL. Potential users/re-users would need to know about all (probably five) properties to know what to retrieve. Same with querying; that would become more complex and similarly queriers would need to know that five properties exist. I am in strong favor of keeping this as one proposal.

Motivation

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)

• 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)

Sorry for the late response. The problem is, that I don't know, where outside Germany this identifier is use. But to my understanding a uuid is a global unique identifier. So it can be used everywhere else for this purpose. And: to my understanding an uuid is a global unique identifier and can be used for everything as long as it is global unique. [2]. The problem in WD is, that we have already uuid but to specific. So, please add either a specific uuid for Measuring points or an general uuid. I hope this explantation helps. --GodeNehler (talk) 20:55, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

•  Comment While I think the database would be nice to link to, the different examples shows that these are not really ID's, but rather URLs. Ainali (talk) 10:07, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

  While I agree with you that the structure isn’t ideal, that can be addressed using Wikidata usage instructions (P2559), can’t it? I also think the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks. After all, there are already many other properties of comparable complexity (e.g. North Data ID (P10306)) and also some with multiple path segments that essentially act as prefixes for the IDs (e.g. Google Knowledge Graph ID (P2671)/Freebase ID (P646), OpenCorporates ID (P1320)).

  The alternative would be to create many separate properties — one just for people, one for laws, for institutions, legislative periods, cabinets, etc. — and in my opinion, that would be completely unnecessary and even more complex than the above solution. --Printstream (talk) 12:13, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

•  Comment I can see the drawback of many separate properties here. Are there cases where a Wikidata item might have multiple id's under different categories though, or is it likely to always be unique? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:52, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

  That’s not the case, the categories are clearly distinguished from one another. Within a single category though – currently "resort", which covers the ministries – multiple IDs can occur. But that’s only because the modeling there is more detailed than in Wikidata. If a ministry changes its name and responsibilities, it’s treated as a new entity, something that isn’t currently represented in Wikidata. --Printstream (talk) 18:22, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Motivation

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

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

Comment: Upon further reflection, I feel the only sensible solution is to keep trial outcome and verdict separate, since 'verdict' will still be needed as a type of trial outcome, or a superset of trial outcomes like 'not guilty', 'not proven', and 'guilty'. Withdrawing my hairbrained suggestion to repurpose 'verdict'. --Pitke (talk) 10:02, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

  I don't know it this is a good definition. – Shisma (talk) 15:36, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

  @Shisma

  Generally, it's unlikely that a dictionary provides a good definition in a case like this. Dictionaries are not created to provide controlled vocabulary with terms for purposes like this.

  According to ChatGPT, meaningful definitions are:

  USDA: “A chemical substance in food that provides energy; forms body structures; or regulates body processes.”

  FDA: “any substance of nutritional value found in food, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.”

  EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006: "“Nutrient” means a protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, sodium, vitamins and minerals listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, and substances which belong to, or are components of, one of these groups."

  IOM: dietary substances required for normal physiological function, growth, and maintenance of health

  WHO: substances obtained from food that are used in the body to provide energy, structural materials, and regulating agent

  Codex Alimentarius Commission: any substance normally consumed as a constituent of food, necessary for growth, development, and maintenance of health

  Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: chemical substances in food that nourish the body by contributing to energy production, maintenance, and growth

  These are all organizations who actually developed controlled vocabulary and likely had committees who thought long and part about how to define the term and what gets kept in and out by the definition. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:35, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

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

Maybe it remains to be clarified whether amino acids should be a complementary new Wikidata property. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Motivation

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

•  Support. Seems useful to distinguish between causes related to the perpetrator and causes related to other agents. Another example where this would be useful might be something like criminal motiverevenge (Q1712140) has cause (P828)adultery (Q234213). –IagoQnsi (talk) 02:28, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

•  Comment Hmm, does this need to be restricted to "criminal"? I think any time you want to describe the reasoning of the person doing the action then "motive" or "motivation" works. ArthurPSmith (talk) 21:21, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

  Hmm, nothing specific, but I think life events like marriage or relocation (immigration) or change of careers etc. are things that you might often have a stated motive for that would be useful to record. But criminal actions are probably by far the most common case, I just didn't see that it needed to be restricted.  Support by the way. ArthurPSmith (talk) 21:42, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

• Slippery slope, I'm leaning towards an  Oppose. If there is potential for abuse it will be abused, so I think we should stick to documented facts. I think for people who have been accused of something we should explicitly forbid using such a property unless there is a conviction. I don't think any admins want to spend their day cleaning up claims that break the LP policy or links to gossip magazines. There's already plenty of people that abuse Wikidata to call people rapists etc. Maybe that's true in some of the cases, but the same people don't spend any time making sure such statements are entered in the proper manner and making sure they are policy compliant. Infrastruktur (talk) 08:24, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

  Anyone who is looking to abuse Wikidata can already use the broader has cause (P828) property. I don't think this should be a valid reason to stop well-intentioned editors from modeling this data. I specified that sources would be required, and they'd have to be reliable of course. I'll happily check in on the property often to catch abuse. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:05, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

  In this case the kami is not mortal, but is seen as an aspect of the Buddha, or vice versa in some cases.

  Likewise such kami themselves sometimes either are deified humans or incarnated as humans such as Ame-no-Oshikumone or Hachiman.

Motivation

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

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

Items that are not always included can be qualified with nature of statement (P5102), point in time (P585), etc. Property should list contains (P4330), connects with (P2789), and maybe operating system (P306) as related (and vice versa), and together with (P1706) as "different from". Swpb (talk) 17:23, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

  That all sounds good to me; "product comes with" seems like a good main label. I agree with using qualifiers like that for sometimes-included items; my concern was to make sure this property doesn't end up being a cluttered mess of dozens or hundreds of insignificant one-off deals that certain products have had. Like for the example I gave of Xbox One's numerous bundles – I think that rather than having a link from Xbox One (Q13361286) to every one of those games, it would be more useful to have a more generalized statement like Xbox One (Q13361286)comes withvideo game (Q7889)nature of statement (P5102)often (Q28962312). If we really wanted all those individual games listed somewhere, it seems like it'd be better to have, say, a new item called "list of games bundled with the Xbox One" or something (and then we could add a statement is subject of (P805) qualifier to the previous statement to link to the list). But I'm not deadset on this model; would love to hear your thoughts. –IagoQnsi (talk) 19:26, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

  You can look at https://www.mobygames.com/game/genre:physical-extras/ to see what i am referring to

  Yeah those could definitely be included. For digital soundtracks, we could link to the item for the soundtrack (or just soundtrack (Q217199) if it doesn't have its own item), and have a qualifier "distribution format: digital download". –IagoQnsi (talk) 14:27, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

  Well actually, thinking about it a bit more, if the game is also distributed as a digital download, it seems redundant/unnecessary to have that qualifier. There should probably only be a 'distribution format' qualifier on the 'product comes with' statement if the game has multiple distribution formats, but the object is exclusive to a specific distribution format(s). –IagoQnsi (talk) 19:26, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

. --Tinker Bell ★ ♥ 19:56, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

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

I listed determination method or standard (P459) as a required qualifier to discourage trivial uses of this property.

• we could add the obligation of putting a deprecated rank when this is sone by organizations that don't have any evidence to support their claims. ON the contrary this could be used/look like legit denunciation when it's actually only a communication strategy (for example in the case of Anti-abortion movements) --Haymillefolium (talk) 21:02, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

What are you talking about @Haymillefolium:--Trade (talk) 01:56, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

for example, I'm an anti-abortion activist, I denounce pro-abortion group from killing babies. This could appear on wikidata using this property, but they are unfounded denunciations. So the statement should have a deprecated rank.

We also have a lot of politician doing SLAPP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation. They should have a deprecated rank Haymillefolium (talk) 18:18, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

this seem related to this property proposal that aims to avoid creating statements that are not based on reliable sources. Haymillefolium (talk) 18:22, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

The point of the property is not to try to say whether or not the denunciation was fair and just, but just to say whether it happened. We as Wikidata are not saying "the invasion of Ukraine was bad"; we're just saying "the United Nations passed a resolution saying the invasion of Ukraine was bad". By their nature, most denunciations will be seen as unfounded or unfair by someone (why bother to denounce something that everyone already agrees is bad?), but that doesn't mean they're not worth documenting.

I think the "formally" part is really important – there should be the expectation that the entity making the denunciation has some sort of formal process for doing so. So an individual or activist group simply putting out a press release against an abortion care provider wouldn't belong in this property, because it's just a one-off publication; there was no process used to make that decision. But if there was an activist group that maintained a list of care providers that they do/don't oppose based on some criteria, that would be more likely to be appropriate for this property.

That's not to say that we are assuming that whatever formal process they have is good or fair or unbiased. For example, we might use this property for the Extremist Files maintained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, even though the SPLC has faced some political opposition in recent years and is certainly not a neutral party. The point is not for us to say "Andrew Tate is an extremist", which is an opinion, but rather to say "SPLC has included Andrew Tate in their Extremist Files", which is a fact. We'd just be tracking who has denounced whom, and it's up to the data consumer/reader to decide whose denunciations carry any weight. –IagoQnsi (talk) 17:36, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

yes I totally agree with all this. I was just saying that the statement can be confusing and formulating the necessity to add a deprecated rank for unfounded denunciations seems an important thing to me. Even a institutions can "formally" denounce another one for political or communication reason that had nothing to do with facts (facts are reported by independent medias).

Example 3	Energoatom (Q938225)→corruption (Q366)
Allowed values	Q83267

Motivation

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

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

Examples and sources:

• Corporations strategically prolong litigation (“slow justice”) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378023001280
• Corporate accountability mechanisms show major obstacles in bringing multinational firms to justice https://media.business-humanrights.org/media/documents/files/documents/New_Mechanisms_for_Accountability.pdf
• “Stalled litigation” used as a tactic that undermines judicial process https://lexlaw.co.uk/solicitors-london/when-stalled-litigation-is-an-abuse-of-the-proper-process-of-the-court/
• Historical example: **Wiwa v. Royal Dutch Shell Co.**, where Shell delayed litigation for over 10 years. Well-documented case illustrating obstruction through procedural tactics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiwa_v._Royal_Dutch_Shell_Co. There is also the case of dupont and pfoa : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont#Perfluorooctanoic_acid_(PFOA;_C8;_%22forever_chemicals%22).

On top of that research shows that:

• socio-economic bias influences who gets arrested or prosecuted. The crime of being poor (arXiv:2303.14128)
• systemic racial disparities in criminal justice are documented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lammy_Review

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

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

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

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

Has a summary this property:

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

For reference a related proposition was made here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/accused, it's not the same proposition but it's closely related.

  I don't know where WD is based legally (Germany?) but you'd be very unwise to repeat here a claim from a source in a different legal jurisdiction.

Vicarage (talk) 13:46, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

  it make no sense to accuse wikidata of defamation, wikidata is a db, it doesn't say anything, it save data. If a complain would be made it would be against the source that is actually making the statement.

  I doubt you will be able to have an opinion from a lawyer from the wikimedia foundation. Feel free to try if you want.

  Take into account that defamation is used has a way to silence critical voices. Opposing the property here using this argument seems to go on the road of censorship. It blocks the possibility to save and analyse publicly available information. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation#Criticism Haymillefolium (talk) 14:55, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

  also see : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation.

  I cannot find a proper debate around the living people policy in the past proposition (nobody explain which part of the policy the propositon would go again). In the current case I don't think there is a risk to go again privacy because we would only allow sourced statements. If there is a reliable source it mean it's public knowledge. Which is explicitly allowed by the living person policy.

  Since wikidata allow primary source we could force a deprecated rank for them or even forbid them on the property (and make secondary or tertiary source mandatory).

  We could also add on the property description that this property is meant for organizations/institutions and for public personalities. Living people would be protected by the living people policy anyways. Haymillefolium (talk) 13:14, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

• Zelensky is credibly accused of supporting neo-Nazism, Biden is credibly accused of electorial fraud, Netanyahu is credibly accused of genocide. Yeah, they are so credible as promoted by brainless media, but in the context of legal dispute, it should be the court to decide which is credible and which is fake, not media. If a court ruling does not exist, then by definition it is both completely credible and completely void at the same time, depending on whether one supports defendants or plantiffs, rather than the law. Midleading (talk) 03:55, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

  let's use your examples, can you give a source that show that "Zelensky is credibly accused of supporting neo-Nazism" or "Biden is credibly accused of electorial fraud" ? I doubt you will find any credible source. So this property could not be used for these false claims. I don't ask about Netanyahu because there is too much sources that show there is a genocide in Gaza. So yeah I suppose their must be credible sources that state "Netanyahu is credibly accused of genocide".

  Also you didn't not respond to any arguments again the fact that only relying on tribunals to state who did a crime is subject to a lot of biases. For example there are tribunals that consider homosexuality is a crime. Haymillefolium (talk) 11:33, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

What qualifier would you use to indicate which algorithm is being used? Vicarage (talk) 15:43, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Not sure yet. E.g. checksum uses determination method or standard. I don't see "algorithm" or even "key type" among existing qualifiers (of total 290, currently). Not sure if we want specific ones like these. —Mykhal (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

•  Comment I have several things to note about this:

String fields in Wikidata have a maximum length of 1500 characters - that limits the key length that can be represented, but maybe we don't need to worry about that yet.

If these Wikidata statements are used to confirm identities it seems likely that malicious actors may try to abuse this by changing the values.

Wasn't there a development effort to add "signed statements" to Wikidata? This seems relevant/related...

ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:02, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

•  Comment Not sure if Wikidata is a place for such data. Sourcing keys from identifier of a specialized database like Keybase username (P6837) is more reliable. Midleading (talk) 08:25, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

 Comment I support it in general but think it may need some technical changes before it can be implemented well such as a tool that makes sure it's in sync with public key databases and locking the value to a certain group of users or things like that.

Motivation

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

•  Comment The enwiki page on this indicates it could be used for shipping as well as airlines, although it doesn't list any specific examples and the page is mostly focused on airlines. It also suggest this designation is somewhat obsolete as many formerly national airlines have privatized, and international routes now enjoy significant competition. Anyway it would be nice to maybe add some examples here to be clearer what is covered (does this include shipping, can one country have multiple flag carriers?) ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:38, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

  @ArthurPSmith, this property is only restricted to airlines and one country can multiple flag carriers (like the UAE with Emirates and Eithad Airways) DinhHuy2010 (talk) 03:00, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Motivation

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

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

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

Example 2	HUB International Theatre (Q134582650) ⇒ "69 feet" [6]

Allowed units	metres; feet and inches
See also	clearance (P2793)

Motivation

This property will be used to describe stage dimensions of event venues. A group of domain experts is currently in the process of specifying how the technical specifications and the equipment of cultural venues shall be described in Wikidata. So far, information about stage specifications have been entered for about 240 items.

See the WikiProject Cultural venues for further details.

As there is a fundamental difference between the "height" and the "free height" of a stage, which is highly relevant in practice, we felt that it was necessary to create a specific property for the latter.

The current definition of clearance (P2793) has some similarities with the proposed property. It is however specific to bridges. It furthermore presents the difficulty that it confounds two related concepts: (a) the clearance under a bridge; (b) the clearance of a vessel (i.e. the vertical distance between the waterline and its highest element (see for example the French definition of the property).

As a matter of fact, very similar concepts are used for: (1) built spaces; (2) entrances / openings in buildings; (3) underpasses in the context of transportation infrastructure; (4) vessels / vehicles. The current definition of this property proposal ("vertical distance from the floor level to the lowest obstruction in the ceiling of an indoor or outdoor space") would apply only to built spaces.

  Thanks very much to you both. I was unaware of this use of "wd-" in formatter URLs, so this is new for me. I knew about using an asterisk in part of a path (/*/), but not "wd-" in the file address at the end. What does the wd mean? AdamSeattle (talk) 23:00, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

  wd = Wikidata. It doesn't have to be that, but it seems to be a general convention to use it when there needs to be text in a URL but the content of the text doesn't matter. Trivialist (talk) 00:24, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

As the theme itself is stable enough, the identifier will, in practice, be perennial, even though it is not numerical, and it is assumed to be unique for each theme. — Baidax ^💬 12:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

  Whether or not it's necessary kind of depends on how the properties to identify news website topics are being used.

  Note that Vikidia has a central resolver that takes their language:name format and resolves to the right language server. ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:57, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

  There is 3 languages that are working, the others (like Spanish, Italian, Arabic) are suspended and/or don't work, like: https://es.wikimini.org/; maybe we can create items for French Wikimini, English Wikimini and Swedish Wikimini so they can be used better with applicable 'stated in' value (P9073) - like in Vikidia article ID - applicable 'stated in' value. QwertyZ34 (talk) 15:40, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

•  Support useful. But why aren't Vikidia and Wikimini joining forces and just one project? That would be difficult enough. Having separate projects duplicates work, makes it less efficient, and makes things harder to be found. Wikimini is a much better name than Vikidia but also not a good name. I suggest "Children's Wiki" or something like it that people searching the Web will actually find and which if linked is self-explanatory. --Prototyperspective (talk) 14:09, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

  True. It would be better if Vikidia and Wikimini decided to merge as a single project QwertyZ34 (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
