I would suggest you are thinking from the wrong perspective. Think specific, and work your way from there. On the English Wikipedia, there are tons of lists which each have their own set of rules for list items. This makes a specific query much easier, tied to the list item on Wikidata. For example, take a look at this list which uses a motley crew of references to keep redlinks from being deleted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Flemish_painters

Wikidata has well filled items for most of those redlinks, for which articles could be created using the PrepBio tool:

Hi, I got an open question about Wikidata concepts, partly related to the idea of selecting a templates wrt. a query for placeholder articles.

One question about this idea is : what to do when several templates are possible for an item, for example the item with no article is in the result set of several queries associated with article stubs templates, say:
* the query "anything", that could be associated with a totally generic templates that shows a Wikibase page like article templates that shows all the claims about this item
* a more specific query "living organism"
* another even more specific query like "animal"
* ...

In this example each more specific query results is obviously a subset of each more generic one. In such cases it could be useful to choose the template of the most specific one.

In the same spirit of the "subclass of" property we can create (or reuse it) for the queries. But as no property has in Wikibase itself a meaning, this means the choice of the template would not be possible using raw Wikibase concepts, which partly breaks the interests of the idea.

Any thoughts about this problem ?

Cheers, TomT0m
