[edit]

This page is for the proposal of new properties.

Before proposing a property

  1. Search if the property already exists.
  2. Search if the property has already been proposed.
  3. 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.
  4. Select the right datatype for the property.
  5. Read Wikidata:Creating a property proposal for guidelines you should follow when proposing new property.
  6. 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

  1. Once consensus is reached, change status=ready on the template, to attract the attention of a property creator.
  2. Creation can be done 1 week after the creation of the proposal, by a property creator or an administrator.
  3. See property creation policy.

Politics/public election

‎parliamentary group leader

[edit]
   Under discussion
Descriptionthe identity of the leader of a parliamentary group
Representspolitical party (Q7278)
Data typeItem
Domainhuman (Q5)
Example 1parliamentary group leaderDemocrats 66 (Q747910)
Example 2parliamentary group leaderNEOS – The New Austria (Q13564543)
Example 3parliamentary group leaderEuropean Green Party (Q950179)
Allowed valueshuman (Q5)
Planned useThe proposed property concerns political parties. There are several properties for party leadership, such as founder, chairperson, secretary-general, but no direct link to the leadership in parliament (and parties do not always have a parliamentary group as a separate entity to which the person could be assigned as leader)

Motivation

[edit]

Often working on political parties and received requests to have this field added so that it could be grabbed by Module:European and national party data. Julius Schwarz (talk) 11:39, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation

[edit]

To record names of people holding positions in government when those people do not have existing Wikidata items. The proposed property would be similar to author name string. This property would be especially useful for capturing the names of people just entering government and also for completing histories of position holders.

  •  Oppose GZWDer's response is ok for me, or just qualifier P2561. Although I think if a person are enough important to be a value on Wikidata, maybe should have its own item. --Tinker Bell 05:55, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I gave this a try, adding Lucy H. Bode as name for North Carolina Secretary of Health and Human Services. This works OK.
    On the one hand, it does add the name to the item and it doesn't invoke the inverse and value type constraints on position holder. (Of course, position name string also could not have an inverse constraint.)
    On the other hand, though, it appears separately from the chronology of position holders, and I can imagine people wondering if they should include names in both places, or listing the name rather than setting up the position holder with the inverse constraint. It is also difficult to query, since name is a property with limited support that can't be filtered by value in Wikidata Query Builder.
    I also gave "no value" + object named as (P1932) a try. On the plus side, this keeps the name with the chronology of position holders. On the other hand, it does invoke the inverse constraint flag and is also difficult to query.
    Depending on how we see the scope of Wikidata, perhaps anyone who held a significant position should have an item. Yet in practice these items are not getting created. And if they were created, little public information may be available for people who don't have an extensive public career. And again people have different opinions about the value of items with minimal data. So it's a tradeoff and I think being able to capture the name strings would lead to overall more and better information.
    Personally I still think both position holder name string and candidate name string would be useful for tracking the careers of people in politics and government. Having the names recorded in a way that is difficult to query seems less than ideal. Candidates and government position holders, like authors, are usually easy to verify through official sources, so this would not be overly broad or vague. These properties would constrain the names enough that they could be queried and consolidated into items for those people who do wind up having significant public careers.

Wikidata projectWikiProject Quebec (Q15623014)

Motivation

[edit]

Entities related to education in Quebec all have a distinct official GDUNO ID. A central database at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (Q3315242) keeps a record of name, complete address, website, latitude-longitude coordinates, phone number and so on for all of them.

GDUNO stands for “Gestion des données uniques des organismes”, which roughly translates to “management of organisms' unique data”.

Unfortunately, I could not find a prettier website to display the data than the one specified above. There is an interactive map which shows the IDs but does not allow search using the IDs. There is an online form to search by ID but it only works via HTTP POST requests.

As the GDUNO ID is associated with Quebec, not with the whole Canada (education is a provincial matter in Canada), the property would likely need a applies to jurisdiction (P1001) set to Quebec (Q176).

This new property would simplify gathering references for education entities in Quebec, as the GDUNO database is the primary source for Quebec school organisms' data. Ptaff (talk) 16:05, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation

[edit]

This is part of a bigger project I'd like to start to gather more information about banks so that they can be compared and easily found. Other properties that will be proposed are:

- how bank accounts can be created: exclusively online, exclusively offline, exclusively via smartphone

- whether the bank has a smartphone app, then whether the app is Android or iOS exclusive, if it runs on Android whether it requires Google Services (officially does/doesn't, not stated but it does/doesn't, officially does but works on [list of ROMs

, ...)

- whether it is possible to create an account from abroad / without an address in the country of "IBAN countries"

- subscription plans (free, basic, advanced, ultra, metal, ...)
