Wikidata:Property proposal/section number
section (or heat) number
[edit]Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Sports
Motivation
Knowing heat numbers is important, because qualification to the next round is almost always based at least in part on placing in a specific heat. stage reached (P2443) is currently used to indicate the round (i.e. quarterfinals, semifinals, finals), but Wikidata lacks a numerical datatype to indicate the number in a specific round. Making hundreds of items like "Semifinal 1", "Semifinal 2", ... to be used with stage reached (P2443) doesn't really make sense and would make queries much hHabstarder.
Properties like series ordinal (P1545) can't be used for this, because heat numbers will often be used as a qualifier in an athletics performance (for example in a participant in (P1344) claim) where using series ordinal (P1545) would be confused with the final placing of the athlete (we have ranking (P1352) for that, but it would still be unintuitive to associate "series ordinal" with "section number" especially if ranking (P1352) is missing) rather than the heat number.

Support I guess this would probaly work for Short track speed skating and Roller speed skating as well. But are there any wikiprojects for those sports here ? Migrant (talk) 13:03, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Habst: the description is too long (max 250 characters), please keep in mind that this description is meant to disambiguate the property from others with a very concise description of its meaning. Marking as not ready, feel free to add the ready flag back once the description has been adapted. − Pintoch (talk) 08:19, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Pintoch: Thanks, my mistake as I didn't realize that description would be used verbatim. Fixed and marked as ready. --Habst (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
