- Read Wikidata:Creating a property proposal for guidelines you should follow when proposing new property.
- 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
- Once consensus is reached, change status=ready on the template, to attract the attention of a property creator.
- Creation can be done 1 week after the creation of the proposal, by a property creator or an administrator.
- See property creation policy.

Comment Note, content from this resource is also included in Grove Art Online, available through the Wikipedia Library. See [1]. the Grove Art Online IDS are different from the Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture IDs. PKM (talk) 01:02, 20 April 2024 (UTC)- @ZI Jony:Not ready given that it doesn't have a description that you could copy. Wikitext does not work in descriptions. I find the length of the property name also a bit questionable. Why does it need to be so long that it doesn't fit in the space in which our property names usually fit?

- Notified participants of WikiProject Interwiki Judging by the history of random articles, it looks like mostly complete copies of Wikipedia articles, but there are apparently 6,000,000+ of them. Is it worth including? -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 22:44, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- This is true for the most part, but when their community edits articles significantly they differ vastly. On their front page they have a Feature Showcase section where they compare such articles, the current example is Cloward–Piven strategy, see W [2] and J [3]. These two articles are very different in both their approach and application, and this will only continue as their editor base increases. Property proposal dudette (talk) 04:03, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment I thank you @Kolja21, PKM, Uomovariabile, Jason.nlw, Silva Selva:. In these days, while revising the Mix'n'match catalog with @Bargioni:, we unfortunately discovered that this website seems to be somehow outdated: a new one exists and it has 253765 entries (more than double of the 124857 entries in this one), but unfortunately this new authority file doesn't offer good URIs for the authority records. The fact that is website is older is a just deduction, because we didn't find any explicit statement of its obsolescence; ideally, if someone is able to contact the National Library, having their confirmation about the relationship between these two websites would be the best way to have a clear picture of the situation. As of now, I put the property "on hold". --Epìdosis 07:28, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Motivation edit
If you want to uniquely identify a book published in Russia/USSR/Russian Empire, best you can do is to find it in catalogs of two biggest Russian libraries : Russian State Library (Q1048694) and National Library of Russia (Q267566). Each of them contains millions of records of books with filled in bibliography fields (title,author,year of publication,ISBN etc). RSL editions (P1973) already exists, now it's time to create NLR editions. By this number you also can get a bibliographical record in form of MARC file.
Right now it is [\d]{9}, full form is NLR01 008042288 (as can be seen in UI System number field), where NLR01 is a "base" according to form of this url: https://webservices.nlr.ru/util/?method=recordFormat&vid=07NLR_VU1&sysid=008042288&format=037&base=NLR01

- Comment In this case the id's seem to be just the ISBN's, which could be handled by a 3rd party formatter URL statement I think? Unless I'm missing something here. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ArthurPSmith: Your excellent comment is fair and relevant, and I think a dedicated property for the publisher Oxford University Press (Q217595) is very useful in the Wikidata database. It also seems to me that many academic publishers currently only use ISBN-13 (P212) identifiers, and Wikidata should support them after a discussion on this topic. Indeed, the publishers Harvard University Press (Q1587900), New York University Press (Q7014807),Columbia University Press (Q2080179), Taylor & Francis (Q880582), De Gruyter (Q98818), etc., also use ISBN-13 numbers to identify their books, but it should also be noted that the property Amazon Standard Identification Number (P5749) of the large publishing house Amazon Books (Q22906322) uses the ISBN-10 (P957) number as an identifier for the books it offers on the market. Therefore, we must obtain a consensus to include in Wikidata the many publishers who have opted for ISBN-13 identifiers, as is the case for Amazon Books. Regards.

- Comment The slug ("cambridge-companion-to-american-islam") is not needed, the actual id is the string following. You can replace it with '_' in the formatter URL, so they don't need that prefix string at all. So we can have 93529C9BCA2398163C90AD5053629161 as the ID example. ArthurPSmith (talk) 21:15, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ArthurPSmith: Thanks for the excellent clarification which allowed me to remove the unnecessary prefix string, and here we are now with an alphanumeric identifier. Soufiyouns (talk) 05:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

- Comment The examples given here are not in conformance with the WikiProjects Books policy (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books) of creating an item for a work, and then other items for each edition. This proposed identifier identifies a particular edition/manifestation, since it is an ISBN. It belongs on items that have instances of version, edition or translation (Q3331189) on them. I would support this proposal and others like it if it followed the WikiProjects Books guidelines. Also incorrect: these items listed as examples have instance of book (Q571) but they should be instance of written work (Q47461344). AdamSeattle (talk) 02:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @AdamSeattle: Thanks for the clarifications, and I've just added the written work instance (written work (Q47461344)) to the property proposal. Regards. Soufiyouns (talk) 05:46, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @AdamSeattle:, would you like to give your opinion? Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 13:40, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- The items that this is linked to in the examples are not correct. They mix work and instance and there should be two items for them, one for the work and one for the version, edition or translation. The link for this property should be to the version item.

- No that is not the case. All the Cambridge items I looked at are still for the work. They have instance of "written work" or "book" or "book series" and they don't represent the version, edition, or translation. AdamSeattle (talk) 08:56, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- This is an example of how books are described in Wikidata. There is supposed to be an item for the work that is independent of any particular edition or publication of it. And then there are supposed to be items for every published edition or version of that work. For example, this is the item for Toni Morrison's novel The Bluest Eye: The Bluest Eye (Q1069956). The work item cannot have ISBN or catalog numbers for a specific edition. That goes in the items for editions. Here's the item for the first edition of The Bluest Eye: The Bluest Eye: A Novel (Q125910691). The same should be done for each of the Cambridge Press books - an item for the work, and then an item for a specific edition that has information about the date of publication, publisher, place of publication, and ISBNs for that edition. AdamSeattle (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- @AdamSeattle: Thank you for these clear and precise explanations. If I understood correctly, Wikidata properties should only refer to editions and versions of basic literary works. This requires careful reflection on my part in order to reshape my proposals. Regards. Soufiyouns (talk) 10:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Here's another example that I just created for a subject dictionary: The Drama Dictionary (Q125931504) (the work) and The Drama Dictionary (Q125931727) (an edition, version, etc. of the work, which we also call a manifestation). I hope this also helps. And don't forget: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books. AdamSeattle (talk) 23:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- @AdamSeattle: Thank you for the courteous and pleasant educational follow-up. I now present to you the following reference works: The Cambridge Companion to American Islam (Q125995834), The Cambridge Companion to Sufism (Q125995655), Seeing God in Sufi Qur’an Commentaries: Crossings between This World and the Otherworld (Q125995939), Sufis and Sharīʿa: The Forgotten School of Mercy (Q125996242) and Sufism and Theology (Q125996428).

Motivation edit
The pre-existing "LGD local body code" property which is used for various types of Indian administrative entities like states/districts/subdistricts has a couple of problems. Firstly the collision problem, there can be collision across various entity types( a state LGD code can be the same of another district's LGD code ). Secondly, there is also a problem where any block of West Bengal has 2 LGD codes, one as subdistrict and another as a block, this breaks the single value constraint. Creation of separate LGD State or UT code, LGD District Code, LGD Subdistrict Code, LGD Block Code etc would alleviate these problems. LGD Subdistrict Code is one of the separate identifiers which is to be used only for the Subdistrict entities. --RamSeraph (talk) 11:55, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Motivation edit
The pre-existing "LGD local body code" property which is used for various types of Indian administrative entities like states/districts/subdistricts has a couple of problems. Firstly the collision problem, there can be collision across various entity types( a state LGD code can be the same of another district's LGD code ). Secondly, there is also a problem where any block of West Bengal has 2 LGD codes, one as subdistrict and another as a block, this breaks the single value constraint. Creation of separate LGD State or UT code, LGD District Code, LGD Subdistrict Code, LGD Block Code etc would alleviate these problems. LGD State or UT Code is one of the separate identifiers which is to be used only for the State and Union Territory entities RamSeraph (talk) 13:44, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

This is the most comprehensive list of Indian hamlets available, it will be very helpful in tracking all the rural habitations which are not full blown revenue/census villages.

Oppose This is the same as MDWS place ID (P6335), as all three example values for that property are (up to the presence of leading zeros) also values for this one. Mahir256 (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Mahir256 Can you give the source where these can be looked up.. I do suspect the JJM id is a successor to the MDWS place ID (P6335). I will retract this if this is actually the same RamSeraph (talk) 01:01, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @RamSeraph: The third "source website for the property" link on P6335 (incidentally with the domain ejalshakti.gov.in) still resolves, if you want to browse that. Mahir256 (talk) 01:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Mahir256 I did see the same domain, and that is the reason I added MDWS place ID (P6335) in the related property list and also the reason I think it is a successor id. The other clue was that the reports with MDWS place ID (P6335) stop at 2018 and the JJM ones start at 2019. 3 out of 1.6 million matching is not a confirmation that they are the same, but let's put this is on hold till we can actually confirm fully. One other reason I want to add JJM id is because they are mapped to LGD here - https://ejalshakti.gov.in/JJM/JJMReports/lgd_mapping/rpt_LGDMappedStatus.aspx RamSeraph (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- One other thing.. can you confirm that the id in brackets next to the habitation name is the id to consider? RamSeraph (talk) 03:55, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also, JJM data has been pulled and is available here(documentation) RamSeraph (talk) 04:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Mahir256 The linked page for MDWS place ID (P6335) is broken for a lot of blocks, There are no ids even next to the habitation names for some states. I couldn't locate Cherukupalli (Q97489248) in the drop downs.. it would be helpful if you can show the source for the claim that the ids are the same. RamSeraph (talk) 07:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @RamSeraph: I'm not sure which bracketed numbers you are referring to, but the "S.No." that appears in the P6335 link is not the value of P6335; if you examine the HTML source for the drop-down boxes in that link (the
<table class="SelectData">element), each<option>element has avalueattribute, which has been treated as the value for P6335 and which for Nangdala Tea Garden (Q60794317) and Uthukuli block (Q25553040)—to add two other random places to the three P6335 examples—match the values for this proposed property. - Have you tried looking for some of the existing P6335 values in the link that you provided? There do seem to be issues now browsing the P6335 link (for whatever reason the list of administrative divisions in the drop-downs for the 2018 data doesn't actually correspond to what existed in that year)—in the case of Andhra Pradesh likely due to some reorganization of administrative divisions in the last six years—but while it may be disappointing that no P6335 values for within Andhra Pradesh was added to Wikidata, with respect to information from other states I also haven't seen yet any values where the value for P6335 is different from the value for this proposed property. Mahir256 (talk) 13:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- I wasn't looking at the "S.No.", some of the habitations had a number in brackets - An example would be Appapuram village's listing of habitations. Can be reached via the following dropdown - "State: Andhra Pradesh -> District: Guntur -> Block: Kakumanu -> Panchayat: Appapuram -> Village: Appapuram". You will see two habitations listed there with names Appapuram(0709747009011500) and Chinakakumanu(0709747009021500). These are the numbers I was looking at. I highly suspect they were not the MDWS place ID (P6335)s of the habitations. I did look at the HTML source.. the ids in the <select> field don't extend till habitations, they stop at villages. So the MDWS place ID (P6335)s for habitations are no longer accesible.
- That brings us to what seems to be a major misunderstanding here, the current proposal is only for Habitation ids, not for census villages or any other administrative entities above them. In fact habitations are not administrative entities, they are just human settlements. The lowest administrative hierarchy is a Revenue village( which the British decided to use as census entities as well, you know, priorities :) ) or sometimes a Gram Panchayat( yes, a revenue village can have multiple gram panchayats ).
- Some of these habitation names are what people recognise as their village names. The 3 examples I gave are these kind of habitations, These couldn't be tracked down to revenue villages or gram panchayats. In the link added as source in this proposal going to the "B1: Basic Habitation Information" section you can locate these 3 entries by following the dropdowns as listed below.
- Cherukupalli (Q97489248) State: Andhra Pradesh, District: Bapatla, Block: Cherukupalli, Panchayat: ARUMBAKA, Village: ARUMBAKA
- Panatoor (Q19672794) State: Andhra Pradesh, District: Chittoor, Block: Gudipala, Panchayat: Gollamadugu Village:Bomma Samudram
- Kothaganesunipadu (Q6433970) State: Andhra Pradesh, District: Palnadu, Block: Machavaram, Panchayat: NAGESWARAPURAM THANDA, Village: Pillutla
- Now, coming to fact that the existing MDWS place ID (P6335)s are very similar to the newer JJM ids, these is more inline with what I was saying that the various JJM ids( for state, district, block, panchayat, village, habitations ) are successors of the original MDWS place ID (P6335).
- Are you suggesting that I add JJM habitation ids and call them MDWS place ID (P6335)? This is something I am ok with, We can add JJM id as an alternate name, but this might lose some of the subtlety that the id spaces have been separated in the newer identifiers and the source now calls them JJM ids, it might even lead to confusion, somebody needs to people to add additional zeros to avoid clashes across various entity types.
- Note: Looks like I got the id for Panatoor (Q19672794) wrong, I am going to correct the proposal, it is 31095 not 11912 RamSeraph (talk) 15:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Mahir256 Forgot to ping. Also, adding one more thing. The newer JJM ids will definitely have ids which weren't in the original MDWS place ID (P6335). Digging these up would be easy. Look for any district formed after 2018. RamSeraph (talk) 15:30, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Motivation edit
There are over 11,000 schools managed by the National Department of Education for Papua New Guinea and they have a 5 character code that has been used to uniquely identify them. There are a significant number of schools that have name collisions. The Ministry has various datasets that reference a persistent school code. The "wheres-my-school" data is from the previous decade but other reports can supplement these records. Started by wanting to use the PacificData to look at a single province but worth solving for the country.

- Oppose Just because someone has the equivalent of a Patreon page does not make them notable. The site can have a great number of profiles on it to make up for it, but I don't see any content creator counts here. Edit: 50 random people is nowhere near enough. For a proposal to pass it needs 100 notable people minimum. As an example if you assume 2% of the people on the site would qualify for a page on russian wikipedia, that would still mean you need to show there is 5000 content creators on the site. The numbers aren't that important, you get the idea. Infrastruktur (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur PID edit
Motivation edit
Most recently, a so-called Objekt-PID has been added to all descriptions of artworks (and other objects, like buildings) within Bildindex. These URI's are not only persistent but can also identify objects which are described on a narrower level of a complex hierarchy. Thus helping to solve the issues mentioned by two topics of this property talk.
- Example 3 shows how the corresponding Bildindex PID will link to a description on a narrower level of a hierarchically structured object record.
- Example 4 is linked to a PID that belongs to a record that has been merged into a duplicate and will be deleted soon. Thus the PID http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001439045 is already re-directed to the preferred description with URI http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001729282.
- Example 5 solves an issue (format violation) that cannot be solved with the current Bildindex property.
As proposed by @Marsupium, the cleanest way to improve the issues mentioned above is to create a new property, then update all items currently referring to Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur ID (P2092) and later retire or delete the then deprecated property P2092. --Klaus Bulle DDK Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (talk) 15:26, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Discussion edit
- Support per this discussion. I don't have time right now to look into details of this proposal. I'm sure though we should have the property, details can still be improved even after creation. Best, --Marsupium (talk) 16:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment If the first 3 digits are always "000" (for now) we could make the allowed values regex a bit more restrictive like
000\d{7}. Best, --Marsupium (talk) 16:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)- Good point! It took us more than 100 years to reach the current max which is still below http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0005000000, so 'for now' it's true that the first 3 digits are always "000". -- Klaus Bulle DDK Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (talk) 09:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This Object-ID in bildindex is very finegrained (and not really hierarchical). In case of buildings I see lots of 1:n relations in Wikidata. Look at this example Pfarrkirche St. Pankratius und Dorothea (Q107544563): The related GND is 4666950-4. By using the Bildindex-GND resolver https://www.bildindex.de/gnd-beacon/4666950-4 You get 7 different results with different Objekt-PIDs. The PID http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001546953 looks like the "master" building entry, but this PID does not have any hierarchical relations to the other PIDs for the sculptures, parts, etc of the building. This means, that ALL 7 PIDs have to be included in Wikidata entry Pfarrkirche St. Pankratius und Dorothea (Q107544563) (with specifying qualifiers)! If You wonder, why the GND resolver lists all 7 entries properly combined: It looks like the GND is not related in bildindex to any of the Objekt-PIDs directly. Instead there is a GND relation to an internal geographical/place entry "Katholische Pfarrkirche Sankt Pankratius und Dorothea". And this place entry is connected to all 7 Objekt-PIDs. Unfortunately this place entity "Katholische Pfarrkirche Sankt Pankratius und Dorothea" doesn't have an usable persistent ID. But maybe I haven't understood the Bildindex structure correctly... --Arch2all (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- The Objekt-PID in Bildindex identifies a real-world entity and - as an URI - links to a document with the description of this entity. Hierarchical relationships can be expressed within the document structure, e.g. for http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001242352 (see "Werkstruktur"), or using certain fields in order to create relationships to other descriptions, e.g. http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001283219 ("Bezugswerk: Teil von Bauernhof, Kleine Klausstraße, 16" - using the internal document number as link, not yet the Objekt-PID). The latter is the case for 6 out of 7 descriptions that you are currently retrieving with https://www.bildindex.de/gnd-beacon/4666950-4: only http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001546953 has a sameAs relationship to the GND ID for "Sankt Pankratius und Dorothea (Rißtissen)", all other objects are related to this building via the field entry "Standort:Ehingen (Donau), Rißtissen, Katholische Pfarrkirche Sankt Pankratius und Dorothea", whereby "Katholische Pfarrkirche Sankt Pankratius und Dorothea" is linked to https://www.bildindex.de/werke/gallery/obj-obj_id_ref/gnd4666950-4. Use only the Objekt-PID of this document (http://id.bildindex.de/thing/0001546953) if you want to add a "Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur PID" (after its approval and creation) to Pfarrkirche St. Pankratius und Dorothea (Q107544563). Please feel free to create new Wikidata entries for those objects related to the building - if we at Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte - Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (Q28734805) are not going to do it ;-) -- Klaus Bulle DDK Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (talk) 14:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think that the proposed "Bildindex PID"/"Objekt PID" is a clearer and cleaner way to reference objects listed in the Bildindex. While I see your point in mentioning the 1:n relationships, I guess that eventually the instances where you will really want to have multiple Bildindex PIDs in a single Wikidata item will be rather limited as such cases will be indicative of a flawed modelling of the data in the item that will have to be dealt with. Adopting the new Bildindex PID and benefiting from the Bildindex data will probably result in higher data quality of the Wikidata items as well. Awinkler3 (talk) 09:50, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just curious if @Arch2all or anybody else has still doubts in this proposal. Would be great if we could move some steps forward with this property 🙂 Awinkler3 (talk) 17:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support My comment wasn't a doubt, just a hint for improvement. The display of the PID structure should be improved on the bildindex-Website for better usability, that's all. Arch2all (talk) 06:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Motivation edit
New property to migrate from old IAFD male performer ID (P4505) and IAFD female performer ID (P3869) used in several Wikipedia templates to new IAFD actor UUIDs.
For a long time IAFD used URLs like this: https://www.iafd.com/person.rme/perfid=jynxmaze/gender=f . Nowadays theses URLs are redirected to URLs using the new UUIDs; the link just mentioned is redirected to https://www.iafd.com/person.rme/id=73bff455-696d-4548-a464-7653b63fb259 . The old IDs are no longer displayed on iafd.com. Wikidata should offer those UUIDs in this new property so that Wikipedia can change the corresponding templates (see Template:IAFD name (Q6811009), Category:Pages using Wikidata property P3869 (Q50823489) and Category:Pages using Wikidata property P4505 (Q50823483)). -- Reise Reise (talk) 17:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

SNARC ID edit
| Description | A unique identifier for people, places and organisations represented in Welsh collections. This database aligns content across Welsh institutions, including CADW, Coflein, National Library of Wales. All data is stored bilingualy (English and Welsh). It is hoped that this will one day be able to replace National Library of Wales Authority ID (P2966), which has many duplicates, as the National Library's main identifier on Wikidata. |
|---|---|
| Represents | SNARC (Q126028212) |
| Data type | External identifier |
| Domain | item |
| Allowed values | Q[1-9]\d* |
| Example 1 | Aneurin Bevan (Q325403) → Q59589 |
| Example 2 | Aberystwyth Castle (Q319745) → Q32312 |
| Example 3 | Aberaeron (Q1765460) → Q9442 |
| Planned use | actively add id's to aligned items on Wikidata and use to help further clean and improve data with National Library of Wales Authority ID (P2966) |
| Number of IDs in source | 127,489 and counting |
| Expected completeness | eventually complete |
| Formatter URL | https://snarc-llgc.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q$1 |
Motivation edit
Most entities in the database are already aligned to Wikidata, but adding the SNARC id's to wikidata allows for better intergration and the ability to easily identify gaps in relevent data on Wikidata, especialy related to Welsh languages labels and descriptions. The dataset contains valuable data alignments, links to relevent media at the National Library of Wales, short biographies for people ect not found on Wikidata and so including the ID will add value to relevent items. The aim is to continue developing the dataset, through research projects and crowdsourcing work and so the richness of data should improve over time. Jason.nlw (talk) 08:59, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
