This page is for the proposal of new properties.
Before proposing a property
- Search if the property already exists.
- Search if the property has already been proposed.
- 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.
- Select the right datatype for the property.
- Read Wikidata:Creating a property proposal for guidelines you should follow when proposing new property.
- Start writing the documentation based on the preload form below by editing the two templates at the top of the page to add proposal details.
Creating the property
- Once consensus is reached, change status=ready on the template, to attract the attention of a property creator.
- Creation can be done 1 week after the creation of the proposal, by a property creator or an administrator.
- See property creation policy.

Planned use | I would like to go through backlinks to instances of initials instead of given names (Q19803443) and correct usage that incorrectly treats them as names. |
Motivation
editIt is relatively common for somebody's first or middle name (or rarely family name) to be unknown, but for the first letter (or rarely first few letters) to be known. This is especially common when dealing with less famous figures, but also occasionally happens with well-known people like I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby (Q380441) (see en:Scooter Libby#Name). There is not currently any good way to represent this. The various instances of initials instead of given names (Q19803443) exist, but using them as direct values of name properties is incorrect: CGP Grey's first name is not "C"; it is some full word that he chooses to keep private, but which we know the first letter of. This distinction is all the more important because there are some people who do only have a single-letter name, like Harry S. Truman (Q11613). Currently nothing makes clear the difference between Harry S.'s case and that of Harry R. Truman (Q509891), whose full middle name is lost to time. The only current alternative to misleading usage of a name property for an initial is to omit the initial entirely, which is also misleading.
My proposed solution is to, in such cases, use the unknown value option for such a name, and then use this new qualifier to give their first letter(s). This is semantically accurate and omits no important information. It also allows use of has cause (P828) to distinguish among reasons for a full name not being known. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 03:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Discussion
edit- Courtesy ping AntiCompositeNumber per previous discussion of this. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 03:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Support This makes sense to me. Is it clearly going to be limited to given names or are there other cases? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think given names would be the most common use case, but it could occur with any subclass of name (P2561), at least in theory. For instance, some litigants in the U.S. are known only by first and last initial, so that would be both given name and surname. I'll update the proposal to clarify this. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 00:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- I support this qualifier but suggest renaming it to "initial" instead. The current name is technically inaccurate because the examples include a dot, which is not part of the name itself. Using "initial" would also make the qualifier useful when the full name is known. For instance, with Theo Heemskerk (Q663299), it could specify that his initials are "Th." rather than "T.". Dajasj (talk) 20:29, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Neutral This is not a bad idea, but given that initial entries already exist, I'm very okay with the current system, and I think Dajasj's suggestion for a name and scope (you also see this with Cyrillic names) is a much better approach. Circeus (talk) 02:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- An alternative would be to use the initial with object of statement has role (P3831) as a qualifier. For initials a name is abbreviated to where the full name is known, the qualifier could be short name (P1813). Peter James (talk) 21:54, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Neutral Interesting repo because it contains more than 30200 names of researchers.

Motivation
editThe CABR is a legal archive in the Netherlands containing files of individuals suspected after World War II of collaborating with the German occupiers. It includes 485,000 cases of approximately 425,000 people who were investigated within the Special Jurisdiction (CABR). Public information currently includes birth place, date and place of residence of the persons, as well as the CABR inventory numbers. Consulted the project coordinators of oorlogvoorderechter.nl and the identifiers will be persistent. In the future, when legal issues are tackled (all persons with an identifier are not alive anymore, but some documents can reveal information about living persons and the Dutch government is currently adjusting the law, more info here), the website will also display digitized documents related to the person. --Hannolans (talk) 13:48, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Motivation
editPersistent identifier for persons used in the Dutch national web portal Ons Land with >200.000 persons known in Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Data from 65 archives, museums and organisations in the Netherlands. The synchronisation of these persons is both interesting for Wikidata and museums to enrich the information about persons in the collections and sources. The identifier is persistent (same technology as Oorlogsbronnen (Q110279963) ). --Hannolans (talk) 10:09, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Formatter URL | https://africanmusiclibrary.org/band/$1 |
Single-value constraint | yes |
Distinct-values constraint | yes |
Motivation
editThere are many popular music bands which are popular in Africa, who are listed in https://africanmusiclibrary.org
We already added a category for individual musical artists ( Property:P12925 )
It would be good to also add a category for bands.
Discussion
editI'm not sure if this should be added under "Person" since it applies to musical groups rather than people.

editwww.viberate.com has lots of music artists on it. There doesn't seem to be a way currently of adding the viberate.com identifier for a given artist or band into wikidata. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by QWER9875 (talk • contribs) at 13:11, May 14, 2025 (UTC).
