This page is for the proposal of new properties.

Before proposing a property

1. Check if the property already exists by looking at Wikidata:List of properties (research) and Special:ListProperties (manual list).
2. Check if the property was previously proposed or is on the pending list.
3. Check if you can give a similar label and definition as an existing Wikipedia infobox parameter, or if it can be matched to an infobox, to or from which data can be transferred automatically.
4. Select the right datatype for the property.
5. Read Wikidata:Creating a property proposal for guidelines you should follow when proposing new property.
6. Start writing the documentation based on the preload form below and add it in the appropriate section.

Creating the property

1. Once consensus is reached, change status=ready on the template, to attract the attention of a property creator.
2. Creation can be done 1 week after the proposal, by a property creator or an administrator.
3. See steps when creating properties.
