Data type of this property

edit
  • The original short name property, Property:P743, was a plain string (not language-specific). It was deleted after discussions agreed that short names were generally specific to each language;
  • A second short name property, Property:P1813, using data type monolingual string (associated to a single language) is used as a replacement. However extra values (triplets) of that property are needed for each individual language;
  • Some users (that I support) proposed that this property should use multilingual string, so that a single instance of the property would maintain values for all languages. As of April 2015, such a datatype does not exist, though it appears in the Wikidata development plan.

Usage on properties

edit

Thie property shouldn't be used on other properties. Properties don't have names. You can put the abbreviated labels in the aliases. Multichill (talk) 17:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Usage for places

edit

I started Wikidata:Project_chat#Property:P1813_short_name_with_countries and would love to hear your input. In a nutshell: What is right? using it with "USA" or with "United States"? --Flominator (talk) 09:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Indicating type of short name

edit

Coming out of the discussion for Wikidata:Property_proposal/initialism, the recommended way to record the type of abbreviation is using qualifier object of statement has role (P3831) with values like initialism (Q918270), as in "USA" for United States (Q30) Vicarage (talk) 05:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I added one P3831 example to the property for SI. Maybe more examples should be added as well. Samoasambia 15:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
