Hi all,
The Guidelines for sourcing statements [1] had a 72% support. There are
still two issues that were raised during the discussion that need to be
addressed:
- Sources used in Wikipedia (templates cite doi cite book, etc): should
they be stored in Wikidata to be shared across all Wikipedias?
- Source entity type: since we now know that there is going a specific type
of item that will not have links to Wikipedia and that is somehow different
from normal items, would it be meaningful to create this new entity type?
This second issue was already discussed some time ago, but back then was
not very clear how the guidelines would look like. With the guidelines
completed, maybe now the perception has changed.
The new RfC can be found here:
