This page documents a Wikidata guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should follow, though it should be treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Changes made to it should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss your idea on the project chat.

This page in a nutshell:

క్లుప్తంగా రాయండి—ఓ అంశపు లేబెల్ ఏమిటో ఠక్కున అర్థం చేసుకునేంత నిడివి ఉంటే చాలు
శైలి మార్గదర్శకాలను అనుసరించండి; ఓ వాక్యం మధ్యలో వస్తే ఎలా రాస్తామో అలా, అదే విధమైన వ్యాకరణ చిహ్నాలతో వివరణ రాయండి

వికీడేటా తెరపట్టు- వివరణ పీల్డును హైలైటు చేస్తూ

వికీడేటాలో ఒకే లేబెల్‌తో అనేక అమ్శాలు ఉండవచ్చు; వాటి మధ్య ఉండే సందిగ్ధతను వివరణ పరిష్కరిస్తుంది

వికీడేటా అంశం లోని వివరణ అనేది ఒక చిన్నపాటి పదబంధం. ఒకే విధమైన లెబెల్‌లు ఉన్న అంశాల లోని సందిగ్ధతను పరిష్కరించేందుకు ఉద్దేశించినది ఇది. వివరణ విభిన్నంగా (యునిక్‌గా) ఉండాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు; వివిధ అంశాలకు ఒకే వివరణ ఉండవచ్చు. అయితే, ఏ రెండు అంశాలకైనా లేబెల్, వివరణ రెండూ ఒకేలా ఉండకూడదు.|Keep it short—descriptions need to only be long enough to allow people to easily grasp what an item's label refers to|Follow style guidelines; punctuate and capitalize as if the description was appearing in the middle of a sentence}}

There can be multiple items with the same label in Wikidata; descriptions disambiguate the labels

The description on a Wikidata entry is a short phrase designed to disambiguate items with the same or similar labels. A description does not need to be unique; multiple items can have the same description, however no two items can have both the same label and the same description.

గమనించండి: ఈ పేజీ అంశాల వివరణలను మాత్రమే ఎలా వాడాలో వివరిస్తుంది. లక్షణాలకు కూడా వివరణలుంటాయి గానీ, వాటి ప్రాథమిక ప్రయోజనం లేబెల్‌ల లోని సందిగ్ధతను పోగొట్టడం కాదు; అవి, ఆ లక్షణాన్ని వివరిస్తూ, దాన్ని ఎలా వాడాలనే విషయమై మరిన్ని వివరాలను ఇస్తాయి (కింద వివరించిన శైలి విధానాలను అవి అనుసరించక పోవచ్చు). లక్షణాల వివరణలపై మరింత సమాచారం కోసం, Help:Properties చూడండి.

భాషతో పట్టింపు లేని సాధారణ సూత్రాలు

Avoid information that is likely to change

Words and phrases like "current", "incumbent", "expected", or "next year's" will eventually have to be changed. For example, if you were describing Tatsumi Kimishima, it would be better to use "fifth president of Nintendo" than to use "current president of Nintendo". While both are correct, the latter will change when Mr. Kimishima retires, while the former does not change. Just using "president of Nintendo" would also be appropriate, as it would provide enough information for successful disambiguation if, for example, there were numerous noteworthy individuals by the name of Tatsumi Kimishima.

For sportspeople, it is unwise to list the player's current team, as that also has the possibility to change. If you were describing Daniel Alves, it would be better to use "association football player from Brazil" than to use "association football player at FC Barcelona", because Daniel Alves' club may change.

Avoid opinionated, biased or promotional wording

Neutrality is a core value of Wikidata, Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Try to keep descriptions neutral by avoiding opinionated or biased terms. In addition, avoid terminology that could be interpreted as promotional. "American novelist" is a neutral description while "the best novelist in America" is both opinionated and promotional.

Avoid controversial claims

Descriptions should try to reflect information both accurately and neutrally. If possible, you should avoid including controversial claims in descriptions. For example, it is better to describe the Pinnacle Islands as a "group of islands in East Asia" than a "group of Japanese islands" or a "group of Chinese islands". Remember, there will be a lot more information about an item on the page than just the description.

Follow Wikimedia namespace conventions

Wikidata contains items for several types of Wikimedia site pages that are found outside of a site's main namespace (for example, non-article pages in Wikipedia). These include templates, category pages, help pages, and Special pages. If an item is for Wikimedia site use only, it should mention the site in the description. This allows readers to know, at a glance, that they are not dealing with normal content.

Examples:

Label: Top Gear
Description: Wikipedia disambiguation page
This item is the Wikipedia disambiguation page for things that are called Top Gear.

Label: Portal:History
Description: Wikipedia portal showcasing content related to the field of history
Although the inclusion of "Portal:" in the title makes it clear to people that are familiar with Wikipedia that this is a Wikipedia portal, not everyone who uses Wikidata will know what that means, so specifying that it is a Wikipedia portal still is a good idea.

Descriptions are not definitions

The concept represented by the item is defined by the statements not the description. If you need to distinguish an item from another item, add the right statements with sources before you add a special description. Also when searching items don't rely on the description's correctness, check the statements to ensure you found the right item.

ఇంగ్లీషులో వివరణలపై మార్గదర్శకాలు

ఈ మార్గదర్శకాలు ఇంగ్లీషులో రాసే వివరణలకు వర్తిస్తాయి. ఇతర భాషలకు చెందిన వాడుకరులు తమతమ భాషలకు చెందిన మార్గదర్శకాలను నిర్వచించుకోవచ్చు. అప్పటి వరకు, ఆయా భాషలకు సరిపోయినంత మేరకు ఈ ఇంగ్లీషు మార్గదర్శకాలను అనుసరించవచ్చు.

నిడివి

వివరణలు సంపూర్ణ వాక్యాలు కావు. అవి చిన్నపాటి సమాచార గుళికలు మాత్రమే. చాలా సందర్భాల్లో ఇవి, పదీ పన్నెండు మాటల వరకు ఉంటాయి. ఒకే పదంతో ఇచ్చే వివరణలు ఎప్పుడూ సందిగ్ధం గానే ఉంటాయి కాబట్టి వాటిని రాయకూడదు. వివరణ రెండో వరస లోకి వెళ్ళిందీ అంటే బహుశా దాని నిడివి ఎక్కువగా ఉన్నట్లే. మూడో వరస లోకి కూడా వెళ్తే, నిడివి ఖచ్చితంగా ఎక్కువైనట్లే.

సాధారణ నియమాలు

సాధారణంగా, అంశం ఏ క్లాసుకు చెందిన ఇన్‌స్టన్సో (అదంటూ ఉంటే) అది, ఆ అంశానికి వివరణ రాయడానికి చక్కటి మూలం అవుతుంది.

For a person: [country] [career the person is known for] (Examples: American singer and songwriter or Burundian footballer)
For a location: [type of location] in [subregion], [country] (Examples: neighborhood in Miami Beach, Florida, United States or university in Oxford, England)
For an organism: [type of organism] native to [region] or [type of organism] that is part of [larger group] (Examples: bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa or mammal native to the Himalayas and China)
For a work of media/the arts: [year] [type of media] [creation method] by [contributor(s)], or [year] [genre/subgenre] [type of media] (Examples: novel by John Irving, 2017 film by Jordan Peele or 2006 open world action role-playing video game). For films, see Wikidata:WikiProject Movies/Properties#Description
For episodic content: episode of [series] (Example: episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

ప్రారంభంలో ఇవి చక్కగా ఉపయోగపడతాయి. అయితే ఖచ్చితంగా ఇవి చెప్పినట్లే చెయ్యాలని అనుకోనక్కర్లేదు.

పెద్దబడి-చిన్నబడి

Descriptions begin with a lowercase letter except when uppercase would normally be required or expected. Essentially, you should pretend that the description is appearing in the middle of a normal sentence, and then follow normal language rules. Most terms would not be capitalized if they appeared in the middle of a sentence. However terms such as proper nouns (e.g. the names of specific people, specific places, and specific titles) should be capitalized.

ఉదాహరణలు:

Label: Lionel Messi
Description: footballer from Argentina
This example begins with a common noun (footballer) that is not usually capitalized in the middle of a sentence, so its first letter is not capitalized here either. Argentina is a proper noun, and therefore its first letter is capitalized.

Label: Sunflower Galaxy
Description: spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici
This example begins with an adjective (spiral) that is not usually capitalized in the middle of a sentence, so its first letter is not capitalized here either.

Label: John Smith
Description: English botanist, first curator of Kew gardens (1798–1888)
This example begins with a demonym (English), an adjective that is always capitalized in the middle of a sentence, so the first letter is capitalized here too.

వ్యాకరణ చిహ్నాలు

Descriptions are not full sentences, and should not end in periods/full stops. This is not a license to ignore punctuation entirely; if a description should have commas in it, those should be included. Wikidata takes no position whether the serial comma should be used or not used. Both "red, white, and blue" (the serial comma is after white) and "red, white and blue" (no serial comma) are acceptable in the English language. The serial comma is a contentious issue, so you should respect the initial description writer's choice to include or not include it. You do not need to reiterate the subject in the description, as it is already in the label.

ఉదాహరణలు:

Label: Miami
Description: city in southern Florida, United States
The description does use a comma, separating the state from the country, which is normal in the English language. It is not a complete sentence and does not have a period.

Label: Yoko Ono
Description: artist, author, and peace activist from Japan
This description uses a serial comma. This description could also be written without the comma after the word author, and it would be correct in the English language.

మొదట్లో ఉండే ఆర్టికిల్‌లను వాడొద్దు (a, an, the)

Descriptions should not normally begin with initial articles (a, an, the). In the English language, there are some phrases that require an initial article, and in those cases you can use the initial article; however, if it is not needed, it should not be used.

ఉదాహరణ:

Label: Dwyane Wade
Description: basketball player from the United States
Ordinary cases do not have an initial article. In this case, "a" is the proper initial article, and it is omitted.

మరింత నిర్దుష్ట స్థాయి నుండి తక్కువ నిర్దుష్ట స్థాయికి

Descriptions should start with the more specific information first. When dealing with locations, for example, this might mean beginning with the municipality and ending with the country.

ఉదాహరణలు

Label: Arcenillas
Description: municipality located in Zamora, Castile and León, Spain
In general use the local government hierarchy of names to go from more specific to less specific (Zamora is in Castile and León, which is an autonomous community in Spain). Names are separated by commas only rather than descriptions (leave out 'province of' in front of Zamora).

Label: Velika Polana
Description: town in Velika Polana municipality, Slovenia
"Municipality" included here for the first level only to distinguish the town from the municipality.
