Maintenance queries edit

Video games with few statements and identifiers edit

See report at Wikidata:WikiProject Video games/Maintenance/Few statements

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     
    #adapted from query by User:Matěj Suchánek
    SELECT ?item ?st ?sl ?ids (str(?i) as ?offset)
    WITH { SELECT DISTINCT ?item        WHERE { ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q7889 ; wikibase:statements ?st . FILTER(?st < 2) }  } AS %all
    WITH { SELECT (COUNT(*) AS ?count)  WHERE { INCLUDE %all }  } AS %count
    WITH { SELECT (?item AS ?item2)     WHERE { INCLUDE %all }  } AS %all2
    WITH
    {
      SELECT ?item (SUM(?x) AS ?i)  WHERE  { INCLUDE %all . INCLUDE %all2 .
        BIND( IF( STR( ?item ) > STR( ?item2 ), 1, 0 ) AS ?x ) .
      } GROUP BY ?item
    } AS %main 
    WHERE
    {
      hint:Query hint:optimizer "None".
      INCLUDE %count .
      BIND(ROUND( ?count / 20) as ?slice ) BIND( ROUND(FLOOR( RAND() * ?count / 20 )) AS ?rnd)

      ?item wikibase:statements ?st; wikibase:sitelinks ?sl; wikibase:identifiers ?ids.
    }
    

Games published after their sequels edit

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     , subclass of (P279)     , publication date (P577)     , part of the series (P179)     , followed by (P156)     
    SELECT ?game ?gameLabel ?original_date_game ?sequel ?sequelLabel ?original_date_sequel ?interval ?series ?seriesLabel WHERE {

      }
      BIND(?original_date_sequel - ?original_date_game AS ?interval)
      FILTER ( ?interval < 0 )
    }
    

DLCs not linked to the main game edit

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: expansion of (P8646)     , instance of (P31)     , of (P642)     
    SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?game ?gameLabel WHERE {
      ?item p:P31 ?p31.

      FILTER(NOT EXISTS { ?item wdt:P8646 _:b6. })
      SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
    }
    

Video games whose developer is headquartered in a given country but with a different country of origin edit

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     , subclass of (P279)     , developer (P178)     , country (P17)     , headquarters location (P159)     , country of origin (P495)     
    #TEMPLATE={"template":"Video games whose developer is headquartered in ?country but with a different country of origin","variables":{"?country":{"query":" SELECT ?id WHERE { ?id wdt:P31 wd:Q6256 . }"} } }
    SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?dev ?devLabel ?hq ?hqLabel ?country_originLabel WHERE {
      BIND(wd:Q142 AS ?country)

      }
      SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
    }
    


Video game released on both a handheld and home platform of the same console generation edit

(In many cases, an handheld platform would not be powerful enough to run a game from a home platform − hinting these might be two different games that need to be split up).

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     , platform (P400)     , part of (P361)     , subclass of (P279)     
    SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?handheld_platform ?handheld_platformLabel ?home_platform ?home_platformLabel ?generationLabel WHERE {
      ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q7889; 
        wdt:P400 ?home_platform, ?handheld_platform.
      ?home_platform wdt:P361 ?generation;
        (wdt:P279*) wd:Q17589470.
      ?handheld_platform wdt:P361 ?generation;
        (wdt:P279*) wd:Q941818.
      ?generation wdt:P31 wd:Q61697632.
      SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
    }
    

Video Games with series that are not "video game series" edit

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     , subclass of (P279)     , part of the series (P179)     
    SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?series ?seriesLabel (GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ?type; SEPARATOR = ", ") AS ?types) WHERE {
      ?item (wdt:P31/(wdt:P279*)) wd:Q7889;
        wdt:P179 ?series.
      OPTIONAL {
        ?series wdt:P31 ?_type.
        ?_type rdfs:label ?type.
        FILTER((LANG(?type)) = "en")
      }
      FILTER(NOT EXISTS { ?series wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q7058673. })
      SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
    }
    GROUP BY ?item ?itemLabel ?series ?seriesLabel
    

Video games with a subclass of video game genre (Q659563) as instance of (P31) edit

In most cases, this indicates video games where the instance of (P31) statement should (not must) be moved to genre (P136).

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     , subclass of (P279)     
    SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?nature ?natureLabel WHERE {
      ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q7889;
            wdt:P31 ?nature.
      ?nature wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q659563.
        SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
    }
    ORDER BY ?nature
    

Video games without gameplay-related genres edit

Since genres like indie game (Q2762504) themselves don't describe the gameplay, video game items should also have additional genres set, like adventure game (Q23916) or puzzle video game (Q54767).

The following query uses these:

  • Properties: instance of (P31)     , subclass of (P279)     , genre (P136)     
    SELECT ?item ?itemLabel {
      ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q7889 .
      ?item wdt:P136 [] .
      FILTER NOT EXISTS {
        ?item wdt:P136 ?xxx .
        FILTER( ?xxx NOT IN (
            wd:Q2762504,
            wd:Q21192427,
            wd:Q85341917,
            wd:Q85422949,
            wd:Q107542272
        ) ) .
      }
      SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
    }
    

Most used properties on video game items edit

SELECT ?propertyItem ?propertyItemLabel ?propertyType (count(distinct ?item) as ?total) WHERE {
  ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q7889;
        ?propertyRel ?v.
  ?propertyItem wikibase:directClaim ?propertyRel.
  ?propertyItem rdfs:label ?propertyItemLabel
  FILTER (lang(?propertyItemLabel) = "en").
  ?propertyItem wikibase:propertyType ?propertyType.
}
group by ?propertyItem ?propertyItemLabel ?propertyType
order by desc(?total)
