User:Lea Lacroix (WMDE)/Showcase items



Showcase items on Wikidata are items that fully represent what Wikidata is capable of and displays in full detail the data that can be stored on Wikidata and then eventually used in every Wikimedia project and outside of Wikimedia.

A showcase item should show the full capabilities of Wikidata. Therefore, a basic guideline criteria is suggested below, which each showcase item should preferably follow:

  • At least 10 statements (excluding identifiers) with:
  • A reasonable set (~10) of completed translations: labels, descriptions and aliases (when appropriate);
  • If applicable, sitelinks to a complete and correct set of applicable pages on Wikimedia projects;
  • If possible, an image associated with it.
