Motivation

Currently there are 20 Wikidata property related to winter sports (Q28600002), however all are Person IDs. As far as I can see (and I might be wrong!) there isn't currently any external authority control for Skiing/snowboarding "resorts" - the organisations that operate the ski-lifts and groom the slopes etc.

It seems that in Wikipedias (and consequently in Wikidata) there is sometimes a confusing between the "resort" and either the "town" or "mountain" of the same name. For example there is Zermatt (Q27494) (an instance of -> municipality of Switzerland (Q70208)) but nothing that corresponds to "Ski resort Zermatt/Breuil-Cervinia/Valtournenche – Matterhorn" (the area that your lift-ticket will you allow you to ski in).

Equally we have Tignes (Q330899) which is currently classified as BOTH an instance of -> commune of France (Q484170) and ski resort (Q130003), yet all the authority controls for that item refer to it as an "administrative unit"/"local authority" etc. I believe in that case, the item should be split between the town (which should have properties like "population") and the ski-resort (which could have things like "number of ski lifts" or "base/summit elevation"... This new ID might help to disambiguate such cases. (For comparison, I note we have Mount Perisher (Q21941924) (mountain), Perisher Ski Resort (Q1629394) (resort), and Perisher Valley (Q2071157) (town).]

Finally, I'd appreciate if someone could double-check I've filled in the proposal template accurately, and the regex. I'm new at it :-) Wittylama (talk) 23:41, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Should this be "skiresort.info ID" or merely "skiresort ID"? Wittylama (talk) 13:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
