Lexemes[edit]

Hello! Wikidata developers are working on adding support for Wiktionary. I open this section to discuss and estimate how many "lexemes" items are needed to cover the sum of all human languages. Emijrp (talk) 19:18, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi (Q1992420)[edit]

When you added the alias shouldn't the alias be Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi and the label Mary Putnam Jacobi since that is the name on Swedish wikipedia? It looks funny in Mary Putnam Jacobi since the infobox uses the label but that is the only place that name is used in the article. Shouldn't the label in most cases be the fat word in the article for that language. It is often the same as the article name without the disambiguates separation. The author should change it but not everyone does that. Maundwiki (talk) 12:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notable and stubs[edit]

Issues: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should be written with text for humans to read, and also the mass creation of stubs are not encouraged (should have FA, GA) so the number of articles in Wikipedia are lower, only 20-25 million (50k featured articles, 300k good articles, 15k featured lists). But Wikidata can have databases of stars and researchers so we can get to >2 billion items (there are a lot of cataloged stars). Thingofme (talk) 12:54, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So wikidata can be really huge, but Commons for space-time photos (of sights) should contain 2-3 billion files. Thingofme (talk) 04:16, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestions: When complete: Wikidata: 2B items, Commons: 3B files, Wikipedia: 24M articles, Wiktionary: 116M entries, ... Thingofme (talk) 04:17, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wikibooks: about 100K books, 7-8M book modules. Wikispecies: 30M entries, Wikiquote: 100k quotes, Wikinews: (can't count), Wikisource: 5M books with 19M pages, Wikiversity: 3M learning modules. Also we have to translate to other language as well. So WP is far from finished. Thingofme (talk) 04:48, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Again we can have new knowledge and discoveries every day and our manpower is not enough for this situation, to draft new knowledge everyday (we should have important ones first). Thingofme (talk) 04:49, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mass creation of stubs are obviously not healthy to Wikipedia's development, see en:WP:ARBXFD, Lugnuts was banned by the ArbCom. Thingofme (talk) 04:08, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Q61481223[edit]

Hi, this person is still alive, I corrected in enwiki too but your bot is still importing his death -- Mastrocom (talk) 05:52, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Number of items[edit]

Many items aren't for articles but for templates, categories, project pages etc. This also makes it more possible for Wikidata to "eventually" have about 1-2 billion items (even if as of 14:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC) there are only 110,251,814).

Reasons for saying this may be dated:

  • It is possible that a species (language, dialect, subspecies etc.) will be discovered, adding to the theoretical maximum. It can happen today, tomorrow or 2 days later.
  • It is possible that a research paper will be created about a species (language etc.), again, adding to it, no matter, when it happens.
  • It is possible that a new Wikipedia (Wikisource etc.) will be started, that can add again to it.

Also, not every project page gets to Wikidata (en:WP:ARBXFD didn't, and many XFDs don't). Alfa-ketosav (talk) 14:43, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page is outdated[edit]

This is not updated for over a year now and it should now be updated further. However, it is said thât the page should account for the new development of Wikifunctions - with code repository for both natural and programming language. It is newly launched for around 7 August 2023 and it's still being developed. JrandWP (talk) 15:46, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's hard to know what in principle would even be a theoretical limit for Wikifunctions. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JrandWP: Bot is updating this page again, but I agree that it needs a (major) tweak, not only because Wikifunctions. I wrote this "essay" a few years ago and some things have evolved a lot. Now we have access to bigger datasets (scientific articles, catalogues of stars, urban architecture, metadata from museums) and some of them are even already imported into Wikidata or in progress. Also, I want to add some graphs and projections. There isn't only a correct estimation for the total number of possible Wikidata items, never was it, but many correct estimations depending on the degree of detail you use to describe stuff. There are 300,000,000,000 stars only in the Milky Way, in my opinion all of them are important and deserve an item, but is that a realistic estimation? If you are completist (I am somehow), it is probably, but if you aren't one that estimation is crazy. Any help is welcome. Emijrp (talk) 17:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
