Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Genre
The genre (genre (P136)) is used to classify paintings as part of the WikiProject sum of all paintings. Most (if not all) paintings should have a genre. Examples of genres are portrait (Q134307), religious art (Q2864737) & genre art (Q1047337). You can see the most used genres at top genres page.
Normalization
[edit]For a lot of genres we have the general art genres (subclass of art genre (Q1792379)) and a specific painting genre (subclass of genre of painting (Q16743958)). When a general art genre exists and the same specific painting genre, the convention is to use the general art genre. This is because a genre is about what we see in the artwork, not how it's made. We do a bit of normalization to reduce redundancy and improve the quality of the data. Common mistakes are when (genre (P136)) is conflated with (movement (P135)) or (depicted format (P7984)).

List to check for normalization
Incorrect genre
[edit]This is a list of instance of (P31) -> painting (Q3305213) where a genre (P136) is used that's not a art genre (Q1792379) (or genre of painting (Q16743958))
These need to be figured out. Possibilities:
- movement (P135) should be used for [these
- ...
