Hi Gerard,

Have you considered how a list and a local column can go together

Yes. It was not included in the scenarios, since it quickly gets into the technical terrain of SQL tables, Wikisyntax and different approaches to combine those. Using Wikidata-data and list/language specific information together in tables and lists is something we are aware of and which we consider as important to create great lists.

Hoi Jan,
What I find is that I would really love to have a mix of information that comes from Wikidata with information that exists on the Wikipedia. A good example is the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame. The Wikipedia article has 5 columns and the area of achievement is language specific. The other information can be shared with other websites if they so choose.

Have you considered how a list and a local column can go together
Thanks,

Hello Scott,
Thanks for your input! If I understand this right, your concern is that there might be lists like "list of species" which are impossible (with several million entries) to have as single list?

There is the splitting lists scenario, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_generation_input/Scenario_C_splitting
Does this go in the right direction for you (even though with far fewer items)?

Does
cellular (neuronal) and nano (atomic?)
refer to something like the possibility to create lists of lists?

 Kind Regards,
Jan

Hi Léa, Jan, Gerard, Markus, Wikidatans and All,

I've read at different times that there are anywhere from 3 to 100 million
species (the latter would be a long list indeed!) and when you get probably
to different lists at the cellular (neuronal) and nano (atomic?) levels,
for example, the lists will probably get "way" longer :)

Thank you, Scott
