This page is for the proposal of new properties.
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 a 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.

Motivation
[edit]Motivation
Dutch television and radio programs have unique identifiers in the archives of the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision. Since 26 May 2026, many programs that are either out of commerce or in the public domain have become available online on the platform https://schatkamer.beeldengeluid.nl/ using these identifiers. The Beeld & Geluid series ID (P14509) has already been created to store the identifiers for television and radio series. A separate property to store program ID's is needed for so-called "one-off" programs. Mark Ramen (talk) 08:29, 6 October 2026 (UTC)

[edit]We have Touhou Wiki ID (P12585), but looks like thwiki.cc has more traffics than zh.touhouwiki.net (Chinese Touhou Wiki) in China. For some weird reasons, Chinese online community usually has different websites that describes same subject. This makes connecting describe in Chinese online community difficult... okay, stop complaing. Basically, everything Touhou Wiki have exist in THB Wiki as well. I believe the wiki is important to connect the Chinese Touhou community. --Saimmx (talk) 09:08, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

Motivation
[edit]
Notified participants of WikiProject Video games
CriticDB (Q131917281) is a recently launched video game database and review aggregator. Performs essentially the same function as OpenCritic (Q21039459) and Metacritic (Q150248), but differs in that the information entered into the database is manually verified without the use of AI. Also differs in that it pays more attention to games, game creators and outlets that provide reviews.
I noticed at once that the database besides slugs for all potentially three properties, uses numeric identifiers as well (e.g. for game and outlet), but unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable URL (except for authors) that would be able to use only them, so we'll leave slugs as an option for now. If anyone can find a suitable formatter URL for numeric IDs, please feel free to provide it here. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 04:20, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Support A Mix'n'Match catalog for the game IDs won't be needed as the game slugs are the same as Internet Game Database game ID (P5794). In fact, there's a decent chance that the URL https://criticdb.com/games/$1 will resolve for a random IGDB game ID. The new property should only be used for the 2050 games on CriticDB that have a review score. Dexxor (talk) 21:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Comment FYI, I’m asking on their Discord about having the numeric IDs resolve − will keep posted. Jean-Fred (talk) 14:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Got an answer:
Jean-Fred (talk) 16:06, 7 February 2025 (UTC)Dev is working on a way to surface the IDs you need! i.e. /games/88888 will redirect to games/star-wars-jedi-survivor

- Yes, now the website creators are trying to provide this opportunity for us, so we can wait. If they then reply that they unfortunately can't do it, that's not a problem. In the meantime, we can mark 1 property out of 3 (for authors) as ready, which I've already done. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 04:03, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Done: CriticDB author ID (P13319), and leaving the others under discussion for now. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 05:35, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Lewis Hulbert I think the discussion was about all 3 at once not just the author ID. Matthias M. (talk) 11:52, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Support Also, support the others. Storing the slug has its own benefits like URL matching (with tools like Wikibase for Web (Q99894727)) or easily being able to migrate the property to archive.org in the result of a database going down. I think it would be ideal to store both numeric IDs and slugs. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 05:42, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- In this case the slugs can be stored in Internet Game Database game ID (P5794) as CriticDB imported lots of data from IGDB and copied their slugs, so a new property for the slugs is unnecessary. Dexxor (talk) 07:59, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
Update I reached out to the database maintainers and got a reply telling me they've prioritized this task. In the meantime, I found a partially working formatter URL that allows using numeric IDs, here it is: https://criticdb.com/games/request/similar/$1(example). Nevertheless, in order to access the identifier (this is what it looks like), you need to register on the website, so this is only a partially working solution. As for outlets, unfortunately, there are no alternatives yet, so this property remains on hold for now. @Matthias M., Applsdev, Dexxor, Kdkeller, Jean-Frédéric, Lewis Hulbert What do you think? Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 03:50, 13 January 2026 (UTC)- Sounds all good, thanks for moving this forward! Jean-Fred (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Just in case pinging others as well
