Try it!

Above of a query to view some of the current qualifiers and their values. It could use some cleanup. I was looking for a good way to specify "story by" and "teleplay by". --- Jura 08:35, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Default English label edit

Latest comment: 26 days ago3 comments3 people in discussion

As this property isn’t only used for films and tv, shouldn’t “Scriptwriter” (or another) be the default label in English? “Screenwriter” being one special case that can be first in “also known as”. On comics entities for instances, the appearance of a “Screenwriter” is very weird. Nclm (talk) 12:37, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

There's also an ongoing discussion in the VG project to change the label to "scenarist", see Wikidata talk:WikiProject Video games#author (P50) vs screenwriter (P58). Because due to the current name, enwiki has linked the value of "writer" in VG infobox with author (P50) instead of this property, and this is rather incorrect in many cases. I think I prefer the "scenarist" variant, but wouldn't mind the "scriptwriter" option either. Solidest (talk) 14:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for raising this Nclm. I would personally go for scenarist (it’s already the French label for exmaple) as it sounds to me the closest to the intent of the property. Jean-Fred (talk) 16:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
