Motivation
I am working on an html based application where a user can enter wikidata properties into text fields. to enable a web browser to make smarter autocomplete suggestions, it is possible to add a fitting autocomplete attribute. this might also be used the other way around: in theory a browser developer might choose to autocomplete any text field with the most common values for that property in wikidata.

Comment @Shisma: I removed your "formatter URL" from the proposal as (A) it didn't work (there are no anchors on that page that correspond to the strings you've provided) and (B) as a "string" property Wikidata won't automatically do anything with a "formatter URL" anyway. Also can you give some background on the context here? This doesn't seem to be a proposal from the W3C right? Who is behind it? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:29, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- ArthurPSmith that's a long story. but in short: it is the HTML standard. I added a working formatter url. 🙂 Shisma (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
