 Support—Doostdar (talk) 20:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Question: how is this different than an alias? Emw (talk) 03:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Question: Native country = place of birth? People move, borders change. What should we do with non–Latin characters? Can you give a link to the infobox? --Kolja21 (talk) 04:25, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't here for a long time, sorry to answer you a little bit late. it is diffrenet as in alias I think you use the same language not local language.--Pouyana (talk) 10:10, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment: I guess it could be in StringValue/MultilingualTextValue datatype. This is useful in Infobox country, as native name is usually shown at the top. It would be great if language code can also be added on StringValue datatype in the future. --Ericmetro (talk) 10:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I guess you are right, I change the data type.--Pouyana (talk) 10:10, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Support as String, item makes no sense. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment It is used in many infoboxes, but it may not be better to use more technically accurate property names here. For instance the native name of a company should probably be the name under which it is registered, while the original title of the book is probably the title under which it was first published, and I am not convinced it makes logical sense to use the same property. --Zolo (talk) 06:59, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Official Name is better for names companies were registered under, with time parameters if it changes. Local Name is still useful with language or geographic qualifiers where companies have local nicknames or operating names in different locations. Filceolaire (talk) 07:07, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment Arabesque is an art originated from our country. But no one has ever heard this word in our country.We call it "islimi" designing. "Islimi" is a word never heard by foreigners.Hence it wont be considered even as an alias for "arabesque". That's the difference between "alias" and "local name".

Does any one of you know the native name for "Mount Everest", the Erath's highest mountain? It is called "Sagarmatha" by Nepalis but its "local names" are "Deodungha" ("Holy Mountain") and "Chomolungma" ("Holy Mother") as mentioned in Chinese Wikipedia infoboxes Mount Everest Naming. So this property should be considered as a language-specific property. -- دوستدار ایران بزرگ (talk) 11:38, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose: If you have a name of the item in all languages (the name of wikidata item on the top of page) then a local name is a duplicate. It would be better to have a property "native country" of the item, and to get the native name that way. Janjko (talk) 14:39, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment Actually there are lots of languages don't have a wikimedia language code, especially historical languages. --Stevenliuyi (talk) 15:32, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose: No automatic way of collecting this data from Wikipedia or an external source is provided. No concrete example is provided. Mange01 (talk) 08:28, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

We can have bot collecting the data from for example fawiki, and example it using is country info template in every wikipedia that use this template.--Pouyana (talk) 10:10, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Support it will be useful to show regional names Yamaha5 (talk) 17:06, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Support as long as we can have a "language" qualifier. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 21:22, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't think this would be a good property if it were tied to language, instead of place. We already have built-in capability to specify aliases in different languages. This property might provide value if it were qualified by place--so for example, the item for "elevator" could have the statement "local name: lift (country: UK)" which would carry more information than simply stating "lift" as an alias for "elevator". Silver hr (talk) 02:26, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Support as string. Multilingual text makes no sense for this property. If there are different names in different local languages then each should get it's own statement with its own language, location, pronunciation etc. qualifiers, as required. It could even have a translation qualifier which could be multi-lingual text as for the Mount Everest example above. Filceolaire (talk) 07:07, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

• you can see that even some italian communes have their own native names. it's an essential property. دوستدار ایران بزرگ (talk) 09:49, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose – the description is too unclear, no examples provided. Both country and language are mentioned in the description without clarification. A more precise prososal is needed. Byrial (talk) 17:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose not because this wouldn't be useful, but because the proposal doesn't make clear whether this would be tied to language or place, and also because there's a better way of doing it now that we have qualifiers: a generic name property with a place qualifier. Silver hr (talk) 13:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose. --Yair rand (talk) 15:54, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Description	Unicode symbols that identify planets and some asteroids of the solar system
Data type	String
Template parameter	not known
Domain	planets of the solar system and some asteroids
Allowed values	some unicode symbols
Example	<Jupiter> unicode astronomic symbol <♃>
Proposed by	Ricordisamoa 11:29, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 Support Very useful, even if this property is not associated to any infobox parameter. A small suggestion: perhaps it could be better use an integer datatype with the unicode number. --Paperoastro (talk) 15:31, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

If there is no opposition, I'll create it as a string. --Ricordisamoa 17:27, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

 Comment I think this is too special, what about a general property for unicode symbols? That would cover this property, currency signs, sybols like for airplanes and others... --Pyfisch (talk) 18:16, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

 Ok. --Ricordisamoa 11:44, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Provisional designation / / Désignation provisoire / / Designazione provvisoria

   Done: provisional designation (P490) (Talk and documentation)

Description	the provisional designation given to an astronomical body after its discovery and before the IAU approves the official name.
Data type	String
Template parameter	en:Template:Infobox planet alt_names
Domain	astronomical bodies as asteroids, natural satellites, comets...
Example	<103 Hera> provisional designation <1927 CV>, <1950 CM>;
Source	see Provisional designation in astronomy
Proposed by	Paperoastro (talk)

Motivation. Property certainly useful for a lot of astronomical items, but probably it could be useful also as "generic property". I chose the "not translated string" datatype because the nomenclature of this name is rigorously established by IAU and I verified for some satellites of Jupiter that no Wikipedias transliterate provisional names (even if I'm not totally sure for Persian language!). --Paperoastro (talk) 08:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

If there is no opposition, I will create the property. --Paperoastro (talk) 20:50, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

 Support - It looks like a useful property. --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Orbit diagram

   Done: orbit diagram (P491) (Talk and documentation)

Description	the image with the diagram of the orbit of an astronomic body.
Data type	Commons media file
Template parameter	en:template:infobox planet orbit_diagram
Domain	usually asteroids, natural satellites and comets, but it could be used also for extra-solar planets and multiple stars.
Allowed values	images in Commons category (and subcategories) commons:Category:Orbits.
Example	<1105 Fragaria> orbit diagram File:1105orbit.gif
Proposed by	Paperoastro (talk)

Motivation. It is a poorly used parameter of the English template "Infobox planet", but in Commons there are more than 300 images (and animated gif) of asteroid orbits. Wikidata can help other Wikipedias to manage them. --Paperoastro (talk) 09:47, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 Support Sounds very useful. --Tobias1984 (talk) 09:49, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose. I suggest to use only ICD and use qualifier for the version. --Nightwish62 (talk) 19:46, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

 Support I oppose the qualifier idea because ICD-9 & ICD-10 codes are very different and nobody will search for "code X in any ICD version" . Things would only be harder with a compulsory qualifier. By the way is ICD-9 still useful  ? Ske (talk) 09:18, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Data type	Item

Domain	devices, computers, electronic products
Example 1	MISSING

Proposed by	Danrok (talk) 02:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

 Question Would this include the operating system that a piece of software runs on, as in en:Template:Infobox software? Or should that be a separate property? Reach Out to the Truth (talk) 16:34, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I think these two are best kept separate, because the scenarios are quite different. For example, not all software is OS specific, some software runs in web browsers. Danrok (talk) 19:47, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Support: iPad comes with iOS, Samsung Galaxy comes with Android, etc. --NaBUru38 (talk) 19:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Conflict / conflit

   Not done

Description	Larger conflict of which this military event is part of
Data type	Item
Template parameter	Either conflict or partof in en:template:Infobox military conflict
Domain	military events (term)
Example	For Battle of the Somme, it would be WWII For Battle of Gettysburg, it would be American Civil War, etc
Format and edit filter validation	(sample: 7 digit number can be validated with edit filter Special:AbuseFilter/17)
Robot and gadget jobs	Should or are bots or gadgets doing any task with this? (Check other properties for consistency, collect data, etc.)
Proposed by	Pikolas (talk)

We don't have properties to deal with wars and battles yet, and I think this one can connect smaller events (battles, attacks, offensives, sieges) into larger events (wars, revolutions, coups d'état, etc). Pikolas (talk) 11:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Question – Why not just use the "part of" property? Byrial (talk) 22:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Byrial, this property would be redundant with part of (P361). Emw (talk) 23:33, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
  • You're both right. I didn't know it was possible to use 'part of' in that fashion. Pikolas (talk) 02:45, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Launch site

   Not done

Description	Launch site
Data type	Item
Template parameter	en:Template:Infobox spacecraft launch_site en:Template:Infobox_space_mission Launch pad
Domain	satellite or space launch
Allowed values	Launch site and pad
Example	Kosmos-419 launched from Baikonur 81/23.
Source	Launchlog is probably the best source
Proposed by	Secretlondon (talk)

In our articles about satellites we say where something launched from. We have been saying pad as well as area, but just linked to an article on the area. In the above example Baikonur 81/23 is pad 23, at Baikonur site 81. I think we need an object for each pad. Secretlondon (talk) 14:36, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

There already seems to be launch site actually. Can we document this stuff somewhere? Secretlondon (talk) 15:11, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

It's at Wikidata:List_of_properties#Spacecraft. Some of the more general ones may also apply to Space. --  Docu  at 15:26, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Upper stage

   Not done

Description	Upper stage
Data type	Item
Template parameter	en:Template:Infobox spacecraft launch_vehicle and carrier rocket
Domain	launches, satellites
Example	Eutelsat 70B was launched by a Zenit-3SL with a Blok DM-SL upper stage.
Source	External reference, Wikipedia list article (either infobox or source)
Proposed by	Secretlondon (talk)

We have launch vehicle but that seems just to be for things like Proton-K, not mentioning the upper stage which we always do when we write about a launch. In the infobox we will write something like Molniya-M/2BL with Molniya-M as the rocket and Blok 2BL as the upper stage. I think we need to capture the upper stages. Secretlondon (talk) 15:07, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Implementing two separate parameters in infoboxes will be virtually impossible. --WDGraham (talk) 00:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I've been playing with this on Kosmos 2485. I think we can get the barebones of a wiki satcat with this. I can have more than one entry for launch vehicle so I've added both the Soyuz and the Frigat as launch vehicle. We lose some specifics as we do not have an article for GLONASS-M (yet), only GLONASS. We have an article for Soyuz-2, not Soyuz-2-1b so the launch vehicle loses that detail. We have an article for Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 43, not site 43 pad 4 so we lose the pad detail. However this looks really powerful. Secretlondon (talk) 14:31, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I've now worked out how to make entries link to things without Wikipedia articles and as we can have two entries for launch vehicle I don't think we need upper stage anymore. Secretlondon (talk) 10:01, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

We already have killed by i.e. assassin so this seems logical as it has a larger scope and is of more statistical etc. relevance Macadamia1472 (talk) 01:50, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Already rejected. Regards, FrigidNinja 01:53, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Do we have any guidelines about re-proposing properties? That proposal underwent some substantial revision after it was originally proposed in response to early objections. I'm a bit biased, having been a supporter of the previous proposal, but this seems like a broader question. Emw (talk) 03:00, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

 Comment I would think that if the proposal was re-worked to address the concerns raised in the previous discussion, and those who opposed it before are notified where possible that it is back on the docket, then I think it is reasonable to bring something back to the floor. That is probably something for an RfC, and outside of the scope of this page I would presume. Joshbaumgartner (talk) 09:24, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Honorific prefix

• Description: word or expression with connotations conveying esteem or respect when used in addressing or referring to a person.
• Datatype: Item
• Links:
• Domain: Person
• Infobox parameter example: en:Template:Infobox officeholder
• Comments: Example prefix "The Right Honourable". Danrok (talk) 17:11, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment This is very similar to noble title which I was asking for comments on here. I think this suggestion and noble title should be used for the same purpose but not called Honorific Prefix nor Noble Title, something more general that applies in both situations, then qualifiers can say how each title is used (spoken address, written address, honorific prefix, noble title etc), and it should probably be MultilingualText rather than Item. /Ch1902 (talk) 11:15, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment: also needed for #Italian Wikipedia person data. Examples: "Lord, Sir, padre, dott., santo". Generally they're not abbreviations, but they can be, and they have an article. More general name could be "prefix"; confusing it with other stuff like full name of the office/title that are not prefixes (e.g. w:it:Camillo Benso, conte di Cavour) would be rather messy. --Nemo 09:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed by	Kwj2772 (talk)

This property may be helpful to describe academic career of specific person. Kwj2772 (talk) 13:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

 Support, but I think academic degree should be used as a qualifier to alma mater. The field of work is not necessarily related to the degree a person has, so I don't see why field of work is used as a qualifier for academic degree in the proposal. --Wylve (talk) 12:17, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Because the field of work can express his/her major. Well we should determine which method to express their major: a) Use every item to express their major (e.g. Bachelor of Journalism) or b) add qualifier "field of work" that can express their major. I prefer b) to a) because all types of degree by major could not be listed as item. Usually types of degree by major are listed only in enwiki, and even in enwiki, some types of degree (e.g. w:en:Bachelor of Economics) redirect to just w:en:Bachelor's degree. Kwj2772 (talk) 07:55, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

 Comment, separating "education" from "alma mater" would create a rather confuse structure, espacially for people who have studied at various places. I think the "alma mater" property should be renamed to "education", with recommended format:

Paul Krugman:

education:

PhD

•  Comment I think that P131 is so general and at least we need a specific qualifier to narrow the concept. Province is a specific kind of administrative units. If you want to generalize P131 to all types of administrative units then there would be no need to properties like Property:P500 and Property:P17 supposing that in the same way these can be conveyed by a possible generalizing property like "inside continent". Having this assumption in mind we may say "Moscow is inside continent Asia" instead of saying "Moscow is in country Russia". دوستدار ایران بزرگ (talk) 19:46, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose. As you're mentioned itself, a more generic property "number of participants" should be used, together with qualifiers. Or, at all: No such property because the number can be calculated by the sum of entries of "participants" easily. --Nightwish62 (talk) 10:20, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

When discussing items and properties, could you please provide labels for items and properties? It's nice to be able to reason about a discussion without having to click on an item or enter http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P156 into a new tab to understand what's being discussed. Emw (talk) 11:37, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Other examples would be:

Gare de l'Est:

• Owner: SNCF (waiting hall) RFF (platforms)
• Instance of monument historique (roofs, deooration)

Belly Amphora by the Andokides Painter:

• Creator: Andokides painter (black figure ceramic) Lysippidès (red figure ceramic)

Actually, just having an item as the value is not extremely precise, but I do not see any other solution. --Zolo (talk) 11:14, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

If the concerned parts are items themselves, why not use properties directly on them, instead of on the item they are parts of. Like this:

• Item: Waiting hall of Gare de l'Est
  • Property: part of. Value: Gare de l'Est
  • Property: owner. Value: SNCF
• Item: Platforms of Gare de l'Est
  • Property: part of. Value: Gare de l'Est
  • Property: owner. Value: RFF

Etc. That way seems more simple to me. Byrial (talk) 11:28, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

That would have some good sides, but in some cases, in some cases I am weary that things would go complicated. For instance, French protected buildings like the Gare de l'Est are listed in a database, with a paramter stating which part are protected ([1]). That would be relatively easy to copy that here: "Gare de l'Est: instance of monument historique. Datbabase ID XX. Parts concerned Roof (using the generic roof item). But linking it to the database / official protection decree may become more redundant and intricated if we use separate items for the protected parts. Another example would be a painting with Painter X doing the characters and Painter Y doing the landscape (though arguable, a "role" qualifier may be more appropriate for this case). --Zolo (talk) 11:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I see your point, and I didn't think of using generic items before. For the ownership, I suppose that you can also use generic items for the halls and platforms. That will probably be better than creating a new item for each concerned part. Byrial (talk) 12:14, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

What about values that don't have items, like 'black figure ceramic' and 'red figure ceramic' in the Belly Amphora example above? Emw (talk) 12:32, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

If there where no items, (and that is the case frequently), then I would have used "North", "Central" and "South" as items in my example. But that does not work in Byrials version. -- Lavallen (block) 13:06, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually, for red-figure ceramic we have Q633683, but it is true that there are cases that seem more complicated (for listed buildings, there are plenty of things like: protected part: second window from the right). --Zolo (talk) 13:35, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Armament can be even more complicated than powerplants. They can run the gamut from simple fixed armament that is standard throughout a family or series, to highly configurable complex weapon systems (becoming more the norm these days). I figure best to start with a simple 'item' datatype so that any weapon system or element notable enough to warrant an item and which is used (standard or optionally) on an aircraft can be listed. Qualifiers would become very useful to further define how many can be carried, ammunition loads, optional load-outs, version compatibility, operator-specific systems, etc. Joshbaumgartner (talk)

 Comment If I understand correctly, you want to express for example that an administrative unit A with administrative subunits A1, A2, A3, A4 no longer exists and that A1, A2, and A3 are now parts of administrative unit B, and A4 is part of administrative unit C. If I'm correct, then this, although it's a slightly complex case, can be inferred if you record the relevant data: A1, A2, A3, A4 is in the administrative unit A (+temporal qualifier 1952-1970); A1, A2, A3 is in the administrative unit B; A4 is in the administrative unit C. Silver hr (talk) 20:26, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

No, it's not completly correct. A1, A2, A3 and A4 are not always administrative subunits, they are a geographic description. I could have used items like Q659 as A1/A2/A3/A4. And I cannot add Q659 as a part of anything like A. -- Lavallen (block) 16:14, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

In my example above, A1/A2/A3/A4 stoped to act as an administrative unit 1862 (if there ever where any, since local administration outside cities where introduced 1862), but they still exists as a geographic units. -- Lavallen (block) 16:20, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

Qualifier property to use with catalog code property to manage the huge number of catalog names of astronomical objects. The "ideal" datatype should be item, but this would limit the catalogs to those available in Wikidata. Paperoastro (talk) 14:31, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

You won't add each time the catalog name and the catalog code: if they are linked better add the code in the item of the catalog. Then can the catalog be the source of other informations ? If yesso you can use the catalog item to source data of the astronomic object and you don't need to specify the catalog as a property of the astronomic object. Again the catalog is not a real property of the astronomic object but only a place where you can get information so it is a data source. Snipre (talk) 22:50, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Use catalogs as sources is a good idea: they can be used also for sourcing other informations. I'm sorry, but I don't understand the meaning of your sentence <<if they are linked better add the code in the item of the catalog.>> Could you explain me, please? After your explanation, I will close this proposal. --Paperoastro (talk) 09:28, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

We are organizing the insertion of few thousands links in Italian Wikipedia, in a collaboration with the National Library of Florence (BNCF). Thus we are proposing a property in Wikidata, because we think and hope that this would be useful also to other projects: there are of course other national thesauri out there, and they are likely to be matched with Wikipedia items as does the italian one. Aubrey (talk) 10:04, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I also want to add that this could be a great opportunity to test Wikidata in the Italian Wikipedia, as this property would be added in around 11'000 pages. On it.wiki the template is almost ready, as the bot to add the template, so we are actually waiting for the wikidata property to be approved. --Aubrey (talk) 12:51, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Just to make sure what you are trying to do: you'd use the string "7253" on item "Artificial intelligence" (Q11660) and you would want this to link to http://purl.org/bncf/tid/7253 ?

In that case, you might want to create a BNCF specific property. --  Docu  at 03:38, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, the link should be to http://thes.bncf.firenze.sbn.it/termine.php?id=7253 --Ricordisamoa 05:55, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

And we can now use qualifiers to distinguish between different thesauri... --Ricordisamoa 05:56, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Maybe the sample above should be adapted to illustrate this better, if this is what is proposed. BTW I'm not sure if links can be done based on qualifiers. --  Docu  at 15:34, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Docu. The aim is simply to be able to link a Wikipedia entry to the same entry in the BNCF Thesaurus. There are IDs available, so I figured out that it was a good idea to propose a property in Wikidata/Authoirity Control. Moreover, this could be useful for other wikipedias in the future... A thesaurus is a specific work, different from other authority control tools. That's the rationale. But I'm not sure it's the best idea. Aubrey (talk) 10:26, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I think there could be 2 possibilities: one is to have a general property Thesaurus, in which we put the ID and generate the link. With the qualifier, we can state that this relation is from the item and the BNCF Italian thesaurus. So qualifiers will discriminate between different thesauri.

The other option would be having just a BNCF property, and non general thesaurus one. Aubrey (talk) 20:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Apparently historical events are considered terms. Moving this here from Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/Event — PinkAmpers&^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 20:48, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

 Comment This property is clearly useful. However, I think the domain should be wider. This property really applies to both tokens (instances) and types (classes) of attacks and offensives. For example, the targets of a bombing are persons, buildings, structures, etc.; the target of an assassination is a person; the targets of a denial-of-service attack are websites and web services.

I would note that instances of other types of attacks, e.g. cyber attacks like DDoS attacks during the October 2011 South Korean by-election, seem to be applicable subjects for this property. (Wikidata likely won't have items about the particular websites or web services attacked, but specifying the targeted organization or person seems like a reasonable alternative in that case.) Emw (talk) 13:53, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

• I am positive, but the description needs to be discussed. If the allowed values are only locations and individuels, you cannot link the Boston Marathon bombings to the Marathon (as that is an event, not a location) but have to use Boylston Street, Boston as target. Is that what you want? Should 2011 Norway attacks link to Utøya (location) or Workers' Youth League (69 members were killed)? Byrial (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Please also look at the related request ofcolor (as an item). What should be done with color descriptions that don't have an item? Should "brownish white" and "yellowish white" be items? Would multilingual string be more appropriate? What should the qualifiers do? --Tobias1984 (talk) 20:35, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I changed datatype to multilingual string as you are right about the silliness of having items like greenish-black.23PowerZ (talk) 10:11, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Color circle by Johannes Itten.

HSL color solid.

I actually don't think that items are such a bad idea. User:Chris.urs-o send me the picture on the right. If we use this or a similar scheme there would be very few items that would describe a lot of colors. In this scheme we would have 12 items for colors. Betweenyellow and green we have an item that can be either yellowish green or greenish yellow. Between yellow and orangewe have an item that can be either yellowish orange or orangy yellow. The nice thing about these color wheels is that a search for "yellow" would return three colors, yellow itself and the two neighboring colors. I think done consistently this would be a very good way of doing colors as items. We just need to find a good scheme that everybody will agree to follow. We should have the same for greyscale, brown colors and pastel colors too. --Tobias1984 (talk) 13:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, this particular scheme won't work, brightness is missing. When we generalize this much, precise information like dark cherry red for w:Pyrargyrite will be lost. 23PowerZ (talk) 18:28, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

True. We need some sort of a color expert :) --Tobias1984 (talk) 18:50, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I think that it is good enough, dark is an adjective. Lustre, brightness, saturation and hue are different things. I like the hexadecimal code for colors (en:Web colors). The brightness isn't missing, color space: white → grey → yellow → green → cyan → blue → magenta → red → brown → black. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 06:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

BTW, I think that I'm a color expert as I'm an IMA mineral list expert ;) --Chris.urs-o (talk) 07:14, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

• I would strongly oppose color as multilingual string. It would mean that the string had to be translated to all languages for each item using the property. If the value is an item, each color only has to be translated once. There is no sillyness about having items for "greenish-black". We can create items for every nuance of color, it would still avoid a lot of unnecessary translation work.Byrial (talk) 22:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

• Only if we introduce a qualifier for "streak color". Mixing up these two sets of colors would be really confusing for mineral queries. I would also support the idea of this property being a qualifier. I am not sure what would be better in the long run.--Tobias1984 (talk) 15:16, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I see the need to distingiush streak from the ordinary color. I guess that it will be more simple to have a separate property for streak color to avoid they are mixed up. Byrial (talk) 15:39, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, streak color and crystal color do not really correlate. A lot of minerals can differ in color eg. quartz from green to red, from yellow to violett. But the streak is always white, thats the trick. Up to now, I do not believe that it is possible to put it to RGB-Values to to Cie-Lab. Some minerals differ in brownish colors to black (Ilmenite or other iron containing minerals.) If I did not understood the discussion right, please ignore this part.

 Comment – Yes, it is the same. The problem is that species which became extinct in prehistoric time are not in the IUCN Red List, and thus doesn't have an IUCN conservation status. The same may also be true for some historic species. So a more general conversation status property could be needed, but I  Oppose just to have a boolean property. More than two categories may be useful as in the IUCN list. Byrial (talk) 11:06, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Fossil species that have a temporal range that ends before the Holocene are automatically extinct. Same is true for Holocene species that have a temporal range beginning and ending in the Holocene. If the end of a temporal range is not set, then a species is not extinct.

 Oppose I agree that IUC status should be up for the task but may need to be broadened a bit if their are taxons with a status that are not specifically IUC listed.

Ok. "Acronym" seemes to be an even more common parameter name in infoboxes. "Code" is quite uncommon. "Symbol" is not a good name, because in some infoboxes that parameter name refers to an image, in others, it is a linked item, and in other a single character or a text, for example "chemical symbol". Mange01 (talk) 02:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

• I  Support "abbreviation" as a more general variant of "acronym" and much more realizable than "code", which I opposed. The abbreviation property must reflect an accepted abbreviation of the topic name itself, in the relevant language. This implies that the property should not have a monolingual data type so can't be created yet. Such a property would, by definition, duplicate part of what aliases often contain, which is fine. Finally, contradicting the original proposal, there can be more than one abbreviation: on "United States of America" you could have "USA, U.S.A., US, U.S."! Espeso (talk) 17:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

While GND main type has been controversially used as "main type", recently it was understood as not, we need a proper replacement. From the other hand, "is a" is a quite vague. Wikidata needs the main property to build its own ontology (its own category system). I propose number P1 for this property. Infovarius (talk) 19:18, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

First we need a clear onthology and once we have it we can create the property. An "empty" property (without a clear definition of its use) is dangerous and if a good onthology is accepted we can perhaps recycle the GND property. Snipre (talk) 17:17, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Universal ontology is too complex thing to be built in advance. It can be refining (and even constructing) with the time. Infovarius (talk) 04:24, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I agree with that point, Infovarius. I actually find it to be an argument in favor of using properties that support increasingly refined classification, which is a primary feature of P31/P279. (P31/P279 can be as high-level, or as low-level, as needed.) Emw (talk) 12:20, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose "Main types" are a taxonomic kludge for systems that don't support multiple levels of hierarchical classification. In a project to structure all knowledge -- which Wikidata is -- restricting items into a small set of types will inevitably lead to classifications that are either A) too broad to be useful or B) simply incorrect. In other words, whether it is based on the GND or not, an ontology that classifies things with "main types" will inevitably end up with problems like the uselessly broad "term" main type in GND main type (P107), or simply incorrect classifications like families and literary figures as GND main type 'person'. Again, to emphasize: the fact that P107 is based on "main types" is a bigger problem than the fact that it is based on the GND. Let's not repeat that mistake.

There is a better solution: use "type" properties recommended for the Semantic Web by the W3C -- that is, use rdf:type and rdfs:subClassOf. These properties exist in Wikidata as instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279). These properties have been part of W3C recommendations for the Semantic Web for almost a decade. They are fundamental properties used in large controlled vocabularies to structure data into knowledge. They enable the important distinction between a type (class) and a token (instance). They facilitate classification at an arbitrary granularity; together 'instance of' and 'subclass of' can classify all subjects and be used to determine precisely where each subject exists in the hierarchy of knowledge. Not only do they solve those structural problems of P107 and other "main type" properties, but by being based on W3C recommendations, instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279) also make Wikidata more interoperable with the rest of the Semantic Web. Emw (talk) 00:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

What about Wikipedia templates, lists, categories? What type-property should we use for them? Infovarius (talk) 04:24, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

The answer to that question seems independent of whether a main type property or P31/P279 is used. I personally don't think it makes sense to have Wikipedia lists and categories on Wikidata in the long term (since Wikidata should be used to create those lists and categories), but in the near future whatever 'main type' applies to lists, categories etc. could be applied via P31/P279.

 Comment The main type (GND) property is good to do a general classification.

 Comment. I initially thought that a general "type" property could be good, but I see more and more problems, and less and less uses with that. For instance, I think we should have an easy way to identify people, but I think it should be simply done by setting P31 to person in each case, rather than "politician", "man" or "charming lady"). But still, if we want a high-level "type" property, I would favor devising a home-made system over assigning GND main types to things that do not have a GND entry. --Zolo (talk) 16:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I thought about some high-level type (may be 2 or 3 levels of classification). While P31 is usually used as a lowest level ("politician of USA", "TV-actor" and so on), P1 can be used as a main type more useful for bots than GND. Infovarius (talk) 18:49, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

How should "latest development version" vs. "latest production version" be handled? - Soulkeeper (talk) 14:24, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

 Comment I am concerned about any property called 'latest foo', 'current foo', 'active foo', etc. I think it would be much better to have a property that was simply 'release version', 'development version', etc. and use qualifiers to attach a date to. So Super Cool Game release version 6.7.8B on date 12 May 2013. That way you would know how 'fresh' that information is, but we wouldn't be in the inevitable position of have something claimed as the 'latest' when it no longer is. Joshbaumgartner (talk) 06:51, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose - The latest version can be queried from a property "Software version" that has many entries with qualifiers for "release date". --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:23, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose per Tobias1984. Don't create time dependent property. Use qualifier to add additional data. Snipre (talk) 11:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

depicts is currently used for books and films too (example). I think it makes sense, as the idea is the same. --Zolo (talk) 15:52, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Films are visual so it seems consistent, but books? --  Docu  at 08:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

The word may sound unfit, but the idea is the same so I think it is better to add one property, as it should be easier to manage, and avoid useless questions about fringe cases (say, comic books). Perhaps, we could rename it to "subject", but we can probably never find perfect labels that work in all languages. --Zolo (talk) 12:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose Having a broader "depicts" property like this is a great idea, but I agree with Zolo that it would make more sense to relabel "depicts" to "subject" than to create a new property to accomplish that. Having multiple properties that describe the same thing in different domains is not a good idea. Emw (talk) 15:25, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose, redundant with instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279). Emw (talk) 15:18, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Here your classification reaches its limits: if you have different classifications using "subclass of", how do you want to differentiate them in the infobox ? Just an example. A ship is define according to its purpose, "subclass of": military ship and by its propulsion type, "subclass of": nuclear propulsed ship, how do you do the extraction in the infobox with only "subclass of" ? Snipre (talk) 14:53, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
    • Please mention that there is a second property "watercraft type" Property:P288. Short/simple answer: It would be both. Uhm.. I think the template could split up both items, so that they could displayed as e.g. "Invincible-class aircraft carrier" (en:HMS Illustrious (R06)). --#Reaper (talk) 20:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

• Snipre, how does your comment relate to my statement that this proposed 'class' property is redundant with P31 and P279? It seems like your comment is more of a general question about 'subclass of', and thus better suited for Property_talk:P279. It's a reasonable question that's worth discussing, but it seems independent of this particular proposal. Emw (talk) 02:51, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps we can move this discussion but this proposal with its generalization concept gives me elements about limitations of general properties for classification so I just wrote here. Snipre (talk) 08:08, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose, current definition of property matches infobox use. --  Docu  at 05:13, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree that with "instance-of" and "subclass-of", we already have properties to express this. Plus, it doesn't provide a solution to the problem of differentiating between values in infoboxes, for an item can belong to several classes as well. The underlying problem remains the same, and eventually, we would need further properties like "sub-class" and "sub-sub-class", or "class 1", "class 2", "class 3", and so on. Instead, differentiating should be implemented with qualifiers (perhaps "of-item", as proposed below), which makes it a lot more flexible.--Kompakt (talk) 10:59, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

what is the difference with Official Residence property ? Old official residence can be described with Property:P263 with qualifiers and what are the definition of residence if it isn't the official one ? To live 3, 6, 12 or month ? To have a house or to rent a flat is suffisant ? For me that is not relevant. Snipre (talk) 09:28, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

As said in the description "Not to be confused with the Official Residence property". These are not the same. The Official Residence property is used with office articles, not person articles, and is used to specify buildings which are official residences. This information already exists in infoboxes on wikipedia, as shown in the proposal. Danrok (talk) 16:18, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm not completely sure this is a good idea, but it's probably better than creating separate properties for individual social networks, as was proposed earlier. There probably is lots of interesting data one could get from this (as I mentioned under the Twitter account proposal, one could use this to analyze Twitter text output of all people elected to X position who also have attributes X). If this is done, I think this property's use should be limited to those individuals who are already public figures, and not those who are only on Wikidata because of their association to someone else. --Yair rand (talk) 16:32, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

  It depends on the unit. Not all units are standardized. E.g. the unit of pressure bar has different symbols in different languages, since it's a non-SI unit. Even SI units can be transliterated, see w:en:SI#Representation_of_SI_units_in_Chinese_and_Japanese. --Faux (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

  Maybe we should use TeX syntax instead of Unicode. --Fomafix (talk) 15:42, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment
  • As far as SI units are concerned, unit symbols are language-independent (See). "30 kilometres" in English is translated into Chinese as "30公里" whereas "30 km" remains the same. (I don't know Russian.)
  • Since Unicode supports μ, superscripts and a middle dot (See and see), all SI symbols can be written in plain text (without TEX syntax): μm, km/h, m², N⋅m, J⋅K⁻¹,… --F705i (talk) 12:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't quite understand the opposes but another concern is that there should be a way to get this for any administrative entity, such as a state, province or territory. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

It's because this property represents a very plausible use case for Wikidata queries. If information like "largest city" can be obtained with a query, it would be best to not create a property for it. Emw (talk) 00:12, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose as it's right, this is a job for a query --Nightwish62 (talk) 15:43, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Usually a country's "largest city" means its "most populous city", and query surely can do the job. But it's not that simple. For instance, there was a prolonged discussion in Chinese Wikipedia of whether or not Shanghai is the largest city of China. It's not the largest city based on population. But finally the community accepted that Shanghai is the largest city of China even though we don't know the criteria, because it's a widely accepted statement, which is stated in enormous sources, including sources from Chinese government and many mainstream media all around the world. --Stevenliuyi (talk) 16:33, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

 Comment In Upplands Väsby Municipality, Stockholm is the most populated "City", but not a single person in the City of Stockholm lives in Upplands Väsby. The city has 2 ha of land, and 0 population in that municipality, the rest of the city is located in 11 other municipalities. How is such an anomaly handled by queries? -- Lavallen (block) 15:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

 Oppose See en:World's largest cities for some discussion on how ill-defined the simple term 'largest city' is--essentially both 'largest' and 'city' require clear definition first before it can have any meaning. The preferred method is for cities to have 'population' and 'is in..' properties and a query can determine which is 'largest' per the parameters selected by the query's author.

This will allow the addition for information about terminus information to linear features like roads and rail lines. It will use the property "is in the administrative feature" as a qualifier to denote the geographic location of the terminus, and "terminus direction" (proposed below) as a qualifier to denote which end of the feature this is (northern, southern, etc.) —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:44, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 Comment I think up and down could be valid values as well. Vertical train: Dubai City Tower. Danrok (talk) 07:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, while cardinal directions will be the usual (and thus "suggested") values, there would be no reason things like "up" or "down" couldn't be used. We need the flexibility to use other ways to describe termini, so I don't support outright restricting it to cardinal directions. There are some complicated examples of roads in the US having three or four ends (as an example, Oklahoma State Highway 63A, which is Y-shaped, having three ends). —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 22:09, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

  • In theory, the numbers should be the same. We could add the percentage as a separate property, then every language can decide to show it or not. The main reason that the numbers are not the same today, is that it is far too much work to keep all tennisplayers up to date on all languages. Edoderoo (talk) 07:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
