Why "current"?

[edit]

Why only current location? All locations could be listed with start and end dates. Danrok (talk) 10:05, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This was intended to be used to mean the current location of an object as opposed to the discovery place, production place etc; But this property was created before qualifiers and ranks. Now that we have both of them, I think we can indeed use start date rank = preferred for the current value (it is more efficient, and easier to retrieve than a qualifier, and sometimes we do not know the exact start date). So I'd like to propose this property for deletion through merging with P766 (P766). -Zolo (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Collection

[edit]

See also collection (P195). --Kolja21 (talk) 23:31, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

relationship to P1134?

[edit]

What is the relationship between location (P276) and P1134 (P1134)? It seems like there's considerable overlap. --Delirium (talk) 13:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Probably P1134 is the next item to be merged with P276, although the property is not yet nominated. Its possible nomination is mentioned in the deletion-discussion of 'event location'. Michiel1972 (talk) 15:53, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think merging is a good idea, also for the position of the property in the entity suggester. :) Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 15:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

P1134 will be merged with P276, so I will change the description (property can be used now for villages, neighborhoods, parks, etc) Michiel1972 (talk) 22:51, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal for a different use

[edit]

Whenever an item has collection (P195) it is redundant to have the same information with p276. I´d like to have p276 to show the city or place, where the collection is located. In this way we can use both properties in infoboxes: Mona Lisa (Q12418) p195 => Louvre (Q19675), p276 => Paris q90. Very often it is quite unclear by the name of the museum alone to know where it is located.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 02:07, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

please see located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)--Oursana (talk) 03:15, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think p131 is for adminstrative purposes to show the dependencies between administrative units. But if we do agree to use p 131, then p276 should be dropped completely as it is redundant.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 10:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

constraint

[edit]

Can someone with knowledge of constraints add the constraint that the item added as value for P276 should not be an administrative entity (but not when the subject item is an [subclass of] event). Since we should use P131 instead of P276 for these cases. Michiel1972 (talk) 10:19, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ivan? Multichill (talk) 12:38, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Current constraints set does not allow to check this case. The case is looked very specific, custom report can help maybe. — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 17:23, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Usage

[edit]

P1134 (P1134) was deprecated and this property should be used. Not all translations have been updated yet so you might want to check your language. Multichill (talk) 12:37, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

room

[edit]

Is there a qualifier for 'room' when to label the location of an artwork on display? Or should we add the room as wikidata-item and use that as location? --Hannolans (talk) 18:14, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think in the meantime you found out that it is handled like the least--Oursana (talk) 00:41, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

non-geographic location

[edit]

Is there a similar property to this but for geometric locations? E.g. a painting depicts an apple and its location is (on) the table. My actual use case would be heraldry so I specifically don't want anything that references the image (P18) value (if one exists). /Lokal Profil (talk) 09:49, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So e.g. relative position within image (P2677) would not be suitable. /Lokal Profil (talk) 10:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"data item"

[edit]

What would that be? @So9q: you add this to the description today. --- Jura 09:22, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For use on data sets. See example here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q96504366. Location is recommended by the data set wikiproject if I understood correctly.--So9q (talk) 13:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think this is currently in scope. We actually lack a property for geographic coverage. It might work in your sample but if the items is a physical map "location" would be meant to mean the place where the physical map is located, not what it covers. --- Jura 13:38, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. I was not aware of that. The data set in question ONLY contains features located within swedish borders (as opposed to an imaginary data set that also includes features located in Norway). That is what I'm trying to model with "location". In case that does not work could you suggest a new/existing property that does work in this case? Thanks in advance. Oh, and please do revert my edit if you want.--So9q (talk) 20:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"in the case of an administrative entity use P131": subject or object?

[edit]

The documentation says "In the case of an administrative entity use P131".

It means "If the object is an administrative entity use P131", right? Syced (talk) 08:31, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that the item that you are linking can be anything, but the item that you link to should not be an administrative entity. But I fully agree that this is described ambiguously. -- H005 (talk) 09:56, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the wording could indeed be improved. Normally if subject and object are administrative entities, then P131 should be used.
For buildings and structures (as subjects), P131 should also be used if the it's located within an administrative entity (the object).
Events, moveable objects (e.g. paintings) and other concepts just use location (P276). --- Jura 19:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Location as qualifier to location?

[edit]

In this edit Andra added this property as a qualifier for itself. I don't think that's correct, looking at https://w.wiki/ugU I only see modelling mistakes. Any thoughts? Multichill (talk) 16:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Multichill: a random look of cases of your query, it seems:
  • In some cases, it's not necessary, because the location of this value is in its item (ex.: Q6359558#P276 or Q80438042#P276).
  • In other cases, as Q51954858#P276 it could be necessary, because the value (Soho House (Q7554758)) is an organitzation and the P276 qualifier is the specific location. It could be use P131, instead. However, in this case, as it is a film, I think it may be changed by narrative location (P840) and use P276 as a qualifier, if I understood the concept.
If you agree, I may clean up this list of mistakes. Amadalvarez (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Property vs qualifier

[edit]

P276 is defined as "location the item, object or event is within". I understand is a more precise location that can be defined within collection (P195) for art object, or similar. However, when P276 is used together with headquarters location (P159) in organitzations, P276 should be qualifier of P159, as its described in Property_talk:P159#Ontology_to_hold_a_multi-value_and_its_qualifiers. P159 must be a geographical entity, so the P276 must be some place more specific within P159 value. When, in addition, we have more than one headquarter, the P276 should not be main property. Now, we have a few thousands of items with both, P159 & P276, as a main property and I propose to fix them. Any suggestion ?. Amadalvarez (talk) 22:35, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

International Space Station not being recognised as instance/subclass of Location

[edit]

Question for more knowledgeable editors: International Space Station (Q25271) is used with location (P276) in a lot of places, but for some reason the system always gives flags like "Entities using the webcam page URL property should be instances of location or organization (or of a subclass of them), but International Space Station currently isn't" (on Q25271) or "Values of location statements should be instances or subclasses of one of the following classes (or of one of their subclasses), but International Space Station currently isn't" (on Q56042850), even though it is in the physical location (Q17334923) tree through the subclass space laboratory (Q1471432). Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Also, I'd like to add a subclass to space station (Q25956) putting it in the physical location (Q17334923) tree (since they're intended as semi-permanent to permanent outposts), but I'm really not sure what item would be most appropriate. Any thoughts there? Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 00:19, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add alias 'suburb'?

[edit]

Would 'suburb' be a valid alias for location (P276)? It already has neighbourhood/neighborhood, which I think is a similar concept. Sam Wilson 14:07, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Sam Wilson 05:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P276/Place now recommended?

[edit]

Hello, I do not understand, why location (P276) is not recommended for images like File:2019 ColognePride - CSD-Parade-8889.jpg. What did I do wrong? Any recommandations? Raymond (talk) 05:58, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Raymond: use location of creation (P1071), I replaced it. c:Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Location has a bit more info.
Wikidata property talk page is not really the best location to ask questions about Commons. c:Commons talk:Structured data/Modeling or c:Commons talk:Structured data probably gets more views. Multichill (talk) 21:26, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill Thank you for your answer. I am not really sure if I like P1071 for the statement, where a picture was taken. In my understanding "location of creation" is the place where the depicted object, like an artwork, was created. But not the photo of the artwork. Anyway, I will have a look to the other pages you mentioned. Raymond (talk) 08:04, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Raymond:
Statements apply to a subject. Here on Wikidata the subject is an item. So for example on: Laughing Cavalier (Q965124)
Subject Laughing Cavalier (Q965124), Predicate: location of creation (P1071), Object Haarlem (Q9920)
On Commons the photograph is the subject in the MediaInfo. So for File:2019 ColognePride - CSD-Parade-8889.jpg:
Subject File:2019 ColognePride - CSD-Parade-8889.jpg, Predicate: location of creation (P1071), Object Cologne (Q365)
And to take a more complicated example: File:The Laughing Cavalier.JPG
Subject File:The Laughing Cavalier.JPG, Predicate: location of creation (P1071), Object The Wallace Collection (Q1327919)
Multichill (talk) 10:17, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill I understand, thank you. Maybe I have missed discussions in the past about the modelling of normal photographs. Raymond (talk) 10:34, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of some constraint classes and exceptions

[edit]

I removed some of the constraint classes with this edit as they were redundant to other items in the constraint list. Also removed two of the exceptions as relevant classes were later added to the constraint list, so were also redundant. Feel free to revert if any issues pop up, but I see no reason why they should. — Huntster (t @ c) 22:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
