Wikidata:List generation input/Scenario B preparation

Scenario B: Preparation – Find missing values on Wikidata edit

This is a relevant scenario for list generation using utilizing Wikidata since data needs to be complete (at least for a given usecase) to generate a good list from it. Though this is part of creating lists, it happens only on Wikidata and the list creation itself is not part ot this.

Example scenario: John notices that his hometown does not have a major listed on the hometown’s item. He wants to see which other towns and cities also lack this property and wonders if he could fix it, at least for the places in his county.

Example quote: “I could quickly find out what I wanted to know and correct the data”

Workflow we assume:

You “Request a query” or write a query yourself to find to find all places which are municipalities but lack a mayor
You find out who the current mayor of every (or some) places is
You add that person’s item to the property “head of government” of the city’s item
If no item for the major exists, you create the item.

I think we'd generally use P39 for this.

Suggestions edit

What would be good to have is a tool to help expand depth of a series of items. I sometimes use TABernacle (Q26882268), or Related Properties (Q25337203) (when it worked), lists or just WQS for this.
