Gitee username
editOriginally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic
Description | username on a website publishing user generated content |
---|---|
Represents | Gitee (Q97173031) username (Q15901043) |
Data type | External identifier |
Domain | human (Q5), organization (Q43229), project (Q170584), software (Q7397), technical standard (Q317623), event (Q1656682), programming language (Q9143) |
Allowed values | string pattern (regex if possible) |
Example 1 | Linux Foundation (Q858851) → https://gitee.com/linuxfoundation |

Example 4 | OpenHarmony (Q102553047) → https://gitee.com/openharmony |
Source | http://gitee.com/ |
Planned use | import 50 identifiers as a pilot for Wikidata:WikiProject Informatics |
Number of IDs in source | unsure, maybe 5 million as claimed by https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/21/china-is-building-its-github-alternative-gitee/ . Just guessing, maybe 1% of those merit import in Wikidata due to our already having related content about person, organization, software project, etc. |
Expected completeness | always incomplete; I cannot foresee Wikidata ever wanting more than 10% of these identifiers |
Formatter URL | https://gitee.com/$1 |
See also | GitHub username (P2037) |
Motivation
editThis identifier is useful for Wikidata:WikiProject Informatics and meta:WikiCite. It connects software developers, whether they are people, organizations, or groups, to the Gitee user account. One application of this is connecting mentions of software in academic papers to software developers who should get credit. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Discussion
edit- Support With millions of users, this clearly merits a dedicated property, and it would probably be useful to have a companion property for the repositories too. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 00:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
