- Comment New Mexico Rail Runner Express (Q11324955) has separate weekend and weekday schedules, so I guess day of week (P2894) should be used as a qualifier? Arlo Barnes (talk) 21:22, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm skeptic. Timetables is something that frequently changes, at a frequency of about twice a year at least. As a result I'd expect URLs to be susceptible to link-rot. Infrastruktur (talk) 05:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Outdated (archived) links can also be a valueable source of information i assume 🤷 Shisma (talk) 08:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC)link to the timetable for the given service. The current timetable should have preferred rank.
- Comment Can we also use this for schedules/agendas of events? Like WikidataCon 2021 (Q73768833) → pretalx.com/wdcon21/schedule. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shisma (talk • contribs) at 08:08, 18 July 2023 (UTC).
- Comment Is there any possibility of merging this proposal with Wikidata:Property proposal/conference schedule? Some sort of schedule URL. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:48, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure if it's a good idea to mix fixed single event schedule with repeated daily schedule but if you wish so, OK with qualifyers Bouzinac 💬●✒️●💛 18:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment If the datatype should be URL, then the label should be "timetable/schedule URL". How to deal with timetables/schedules that need datatype Commons media? Something like this ferry timetable? The timetable can be also linked as Item datatype (for references, we also consider that the source may have its own item on Wikidata) – I mean items like train timetable (Q104145271), but they can be also more specific for a certain specific line and period. Too bad it's not possible for one property to support three different datatypes. This would apply to many other properties as well. --ŠJů (talk) 13:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, it would have been nice in the case where schedule is only given inside a picture, not a PDF timetable. The most common format would be a pdf/html page, I think. In the specific case of only-picture timetable, perhaps add "unkwnown value" to the schedule property + a qualifyer linking to the image? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bouzinac (talk • contribs) at 18:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC).
- I agree that the label should be timetable/schedule URL. additionally there could be timetable/schedule file in the future, why not? –Shisma (talk) 07:36, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Shisma, Wd-Ryan, ŠJů: pining for attention. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 07:23, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- I also agree that it should be called timetable/schedule URL. I think this property would be very useful for Wikidata. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- It is necessary to have both words (timetable/schedule) in the label? Should't be "schedule" an alias? public transport timetable (Q221725) has "timetable" as its label and "schedule" as the alias. railway timetable (Q687656) uses only the word "timetable" (and not "schedule"). However, train schedule (Q998374) uses the word "schedule" and its labels are not fully clear and consistent. --ŠJů (talk) 21:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- I only really meant that it should have "URL" in the name. I'd be fine with "timetable URL". -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 03:21, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: From the examples provided, the purpose of this property is unclear. Please clarify, as example No. 8 does not make much sense to me. Here you should use either Wikimedia import URL (P4656) or directly reference image (P10253), and certainly not this potential property. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 03:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Bouzinac:, could you please clarify the comments above by @Kirilloparma:. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 05:50, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Kirilloparma, the n°8 example was in response to a remark of @ŠJů : sometimes, there are small or disused transport routes that do not provide (or no longer provide) website nor any PDF timetable. Then a link to an commons image showing the timetable was making sense to me. (should we really make property per type of file?) Bouzinac 💬●✒️●💛 22:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Kirilloparma:, would you like to give your opinion based on the response? Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 07:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- In that case, I suggest we exclude example No. 8 for the time being. We need to find another way to model such cases, although I have already given a hint that you can use Wikimedia import URL (P4656) or reference image (P10253) as a reference, the only thing left is to find a property for the main value. I mean, something like this:
- Example: Kazín Ferry (Q12048328)
? (must be determined) |
| ||||||||||
add value |
- or
? (must be determined) |
| ||||||||||
add value |

- @Kirilloparma: any objection from your end to proceed, if we removed the example No. 8? @Bouzinac:, please pay attention to comments above. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 07:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I discover the reference image (P10253) which seems relevant Bouzinac 💬●✒️●💛 07:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- Haven't added a url match as their is nothing unique about these (as opposed to any other url) so would cause false-positives so instead have just put in a Spanish translation Back ache (talk) 08:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
