Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic
| Description | (use in reference of statements) image, such as of an inscription, supporting a claim. use together with "type of reference" (P3865) |
|---|---|
| Data type | Commons media file |
| Domain | in reference only |
| Allowed values | images on Commons |
| Example 1 | Q88821#P569: 14 November 1866 Reference: |
| Planned use | replace P18 when used in references |
Motivation edit
Currently P18 is also used in references (ca. 2500). I don't think this is ideal. The proposal would replace these with the new property. (Add your motivation for this property here.).

Discussion edit
Support Lectrician1 (talk) 02:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)- @Jura1: The Wikidata property example (P1855) statements for type of reference (P3865) would also need to be updated. But I don't see why it is needed. Can you elaborate on what's wrong with using image (P18) in references? --Dipsacus fullonum (talk) 16:39, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Not wrong, but it's not ideal. It would be similar to reference URL (P854) and make it more predicable what can be found in references. --- Jura 16:47, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

created by Epìdosis as reference image (P10253). It will take some time to do all the relevant updates. @Gymnicus, Moebeus:. --- Jura 14:54, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
