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.

Expected completeness | eventually complete (Q21873974) |
Motivation
editI am employed by the University of York, and working for a UKRI funded project to digitise part of the Alexander Keiller Museum collection, which is managed by the National Trust, but has an idiosyncratic accession numbering / person ID system which is not consistent with nationwide NT collections.
As part of this project, we will be:
- uploading images of archive materials to Commons, and I would like to be able to attach info to the Commons files using Wikidata.
- creating, and updating existing, information about individuals who took part in excavations at Avebury in the 1930s, some of whom already have Wikidata items.
I am proposing the property 'Alexander Keiller Museum ID' in order to link accession numbers and UIDs related to people represented in the collection to new materials uploaded to Wikicommons and elsewhere on Wikidata.
Thank you so much for any comments, advice, ideas on this! Very happy to explain more of the project. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Medievalfran (talk • contribs) at 11:04, 22 October 2024 (UTC).

- Comment Added further details and links in proposal template above. Medievalfran (talk) 15:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment To be clear, this property is different to National Trust Collections ID Property:P4373, because of the idosyncratic way in which the Alexander Keiller Museum collection has been created (drawing together items from the Alexander Keiller Museum at Charles Street in the 1930s, with material on long term loan from English Heritage and Historic England, and UIDs used for individuals which are not standardised to National Trust IDs. To put simply: the Alexander Keiller Museum makes use of National Trust IDs for SOME of its items, but not all of them. The NT collections website linked above has some items, but an additional 9000 objects, and the People IDs used by the Museum are not on this collections website but are in internal cms. Medievalfran (talk) 18:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Glad to see that more information has been added to this proposal. I guess I'm still struggling to understand what these IDs can be used for. With an external ID, the usual thing is that it can be added to a URL stem to make a link which will give more information about the object, in a human- and/or machine-readable form. Normally, that URL stem is included in the property proposal, but as you've explained the relevant database is not online so it can't be linked to. So I'm not sure this is an "external ID" in the sense in which Wikidata uses the term. If these are just accession numbers, then why not use inventory number (P217) for the number (and described at URL (P973) for the web link, when one exists)? What is gained by having a dedicated property? For the people, would archives at (P485) work? MartinPoulter (talk) 13:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I like MartinPoulter's suggestions. Is there a timeline for the database going online? i.e. more generally is it worth making the specific ID now as an investment for when it is live? As Medievalfran says they are limited on the time they have left on the project Lajmmoore (talk) 23:11, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you MartinPoulter for suggestions - that would work really well for now, and the DOIs will be available for the data in autumn 2025, so we can be incremental with it. Thank you all!
- @Medievalfran: Thanks for the project and the discussion. Should we set the status "on hold" to come back to it later or "withdrawn" and create a new one if necessary? --NGOgo (talk) 15:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @NGOgo:, and thanks to all here for very helpful comments! Yes, please, could we go for "on hold"? Although if "withdrawn" is preferable for admin purposes, that would also be fine and I will resurrect if necessary. For now, the alternatives suggested above seem to be best for the project as currently is :) - Medievalfran (talk) 15:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Motivation
editThe identifier for medical facilities (hospital, clinic, prescription pharmacy, etc.) used in the Public Health Insurance System in Japan (Japanese Health Insurance System (Q122872284)). In the prescription, the ID of prescriber is often shown as 2-1-7 digit format. The list of IDs, including name of facility, address, phone number, number of doctors, medical speciality, etc., is maintained and published by 8 Regional Offices of Health and Welfare (Q11424368, the links for datasets). A search service is provided by a private company; however, we cannot link to each entry. --Mzaki (talk) 12:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

edit- Support this seems useful, however I'm wondering if there's any chance there's a formatter URL that can turn these ID's into a web page to look at? ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:57, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I see you already answered that we cannot link to each entry. Ok. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:58, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. The company sells paid API service based on this information, so I guess they won't make each entry URL-resolvable. Mzaki (talk) 00:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

- Word replaced. Swpb (talk) 21:26, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

- Though I'm not new to Wikidata (I've been here since the beginning), I'm not an expert at modeling. Is Authors' conference (Q4825968)meeting ofgroup (Q16887380)
has part(s) of the class (P2670)writer (Q36180) more appropriate? -happy5214 19:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC) - I don't like that example as it doesn't sit well with an actual meeting on a set date organised by an organisation. Many event series have an intermediary object as an recurring event which actual events are instances of, but I'd see this usage better suited for one-off conferences organised by professional bodies Vicarage (talk) 19:32, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'll provide Electronic Entertainment Expo 2021 (Q89411340)meeting ofE3 (Q336168) then instead. I was running into the issue that most individual instances of conventions aren't particularly noteworthy, so I was struggling to find a good example. -happy5214 05:36, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks - the property definitely covers non-political events, so it's good to have an example of such. Swpb (talk) 21:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Motivation
editUENs are issued to businesses operating in Singapore (more info) and they serve as a useful Wikidata property to identify organizations in company registers (Q26235166).
While the government website wants you to pay to access the information, there are a good few third-party website that provide more information using the same UENs: example 1, example 2.

- Support: Important identifier for companies and non-profits. But I'm not sure about the formatter URL (P1630). The example URLs on bizefile.gov.sg show absolutely no information for me. --NGOgo (talk) 08:35, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Same for me, they are all empty pages. But that relates to the motivation, I guess, that you have to pay and log in. Ainali (talk) 14:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- It seems to be that way for me now too, works fine when I click a link on the website but not from Wikidata - possibly detecting the referrer? I wanted to use that one as the "official" source but it may then be more suitable for a URL match pattern (P8966) than a formatter URL (P1630). You can find the pages on Bizfile easy enough with the search at https://www.bizfile.gov.sg/overview/buy-information, just paste the UEN into the search bar and change the keyword match type filter to "UEN (including previous UEN)" after it pops up. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 15:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
non-profit tax status
editDescription | country specific tax status of non-profit organisations |
---|---|
Data type | Item |
Example 1 | North Sea Foundation (Q2186795) -> algemeen nut beogende instelling (Q1977825) |
Example 2 | Boys' Brigade in Singapore (Q4952604) -> Institution of Public Character (Q131437002) |
Example 3 | Naturschutzbund Deutschland (Q516755) -> tax-exempt under the German Fiscal Code (Q131438677) |
Expected completeness | always incomplete (Q21873886) |
Type constraint – instance of | nonprofit tax status (Q131437023) |
Motivation
editSome countries distinguish whether an organisation is non-profit, aka. tax-exempt, not solely based on its legal form. In some cases, the same legal form can be either for-profit or not-for-profit. These countries typically have a tax status that makes this distinction.
The “non-profit tax status” is intended to clarify which organisations are subject to specific tax regulations, for example, to determine which organisations can receive tax-deductible donations or whether a German foundation qualifies as a non-profit organisation or serves purely private purposes.
Three examples:
- Netherlands: Nonprofits of different legal forms can have the "ANBI-status" algemeen nut beogende instelling (Q1977825) that allows tax exemptions. So i.e. North Sea Foundation (Q2186795) has the legal form (P1454) of stichting (Q19605764) and also has ANBI-status since 01-01-2008, but there are also stichting (Q19605764) that don't have this tax status.
- Singapore: Charities can have the status of Institution of Public Character (Q131437002), but only if they have certain qualifications. i.e. they can not benefit only a sectional interest or group.
- Germany: A German foundation under civil law (Q56242138) can be used as a family holding or as a non-profit organisation. It depends on the tax-status tax-exempt under the German Fiscal Code (Q131438677), which is given by the local revenue service (Q573607)
