To do list

Points being developed

For given names:

An item for each first name

create an item for every variation of a given name.

Labels

use identical labels across languages with Roman script. Tools like the new LabelLister or the list at Person names allows to check them and nameGuzzler to define them.

Descriptions

use standardized descriptions such as "male given name", "female given name". Tools like the new LabelLister can help check them and remove old ones, Autoedit can add standardized ones. This helps identify and resolve inconsistent or duplicate items. Normalize descriptions with terms used on given name (Q202444), male given name (Q12308941), female given name (Q11879590)

De-mix disambiguation items

avoid having items in given name (P735) with "disambiguation" in instance of (P31). Create new items for these given names instead.

Distinguish between items for given names and items for family names

separate items should be available for each. family name identical to this given name (P1533) can link them.

List related given names

similar first names from other languages can be listed with said to be the same as (P460).

Complete missing names in the main languages

Add_name_labels works fine for this (no, it does not work any more - WDQ, not SPARQL) --Hsarrazin (talk) 21:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

maps from Commons added

Reasonator

improved handling of "see also" on given names (displaying languages)

Lady/Sir/Lord/…

given names for items with labels starting with "Sir", "Lord", "Lady", etc.

Japanese names

Romanized Japanese names can mix several names. Example: "Yuriko" for ゆりこ or ゆり子 or 百合子. Each of these three should have an item. An additional undifferentiated item can be used if it can't be determined which one applies and it can also link a possible article about all three at enwiki.

For given names:

How to cover combined given names?

Given names can be combined with a dash (sample: "Jean-Paul") or without a dash (sample: "John Paul"). For names like "Jean-Paul", there would probably be a single item in given name (P735). For "John Paul", there might be three: "John", "John Paul" and "Paul". Various names should probably be checked to match one or the other way.

How to ensure given names are correctly set for languages that add them after the family name (e.g. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hungarian)?

We will need to make sure that we don't place family names as given names for these. Sample: "Kim Jong-il" (Kim Jong-il (Q10665)) has the family name "Kim" and not a given name "Kim". Hungarian names are being worked on.

"Master of altar of the church"

review, possibly, localize names including "Master of.." etc.

Senior/Junior

Localize (or not) when included in name.

Module/infobox

build a sample infobox. Possible solution: add given name (P735) with "no value" and qualifier instance of (P31): master of … (Q19968968)

Integrated Icelandic last names

tbd

Roman cognomen

determine how to handle them

Indian names

check names in the format <family name> - <given name>

instance of (P31)

define usage for items like mononym (Q2985549)

Inclusion of etymology

this should be included in a structured way. It is currently left to Wikipedia infobox and/or Wiktionary (July 2015 property proposal, May 2015 Wiktionary absorption proposal). Please don't add etymologies to descriptions instead.

Inclusion of the new transliteration properties

recently a series of transliteration properties became available, these should be included in the model.
