Wikidata:WikiProject Heraldry

This WikiProject aims to develop a recommendation for how to structure information about Heraldry/Coat of Arms on Wikidata (see the talk page). Once this is done the focus will shift to making sure the CoA objects on Wikidata fulfil these recommendations. Please note the difference between a Coat of Arms P237 and a particular image thereof P94.
