1) the name of the object may not be unique hence
we may be unable to
satisfy Wikidata requirements on
label/description uniqueness,
Wikidata does not require unique names.
If so, please fix the docs. "Uniqueness for a combination of a label and a
description is a hard constraint that must be satisfied before a change can
be saved."
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary
This doc is right but you can use aliases.
3) it must be fine to create items that contain no information other than
the name;
No, this is not OK (and they may be deleted); but nor is it necessary.
How so? We often don't know more than the name-
Did you have an example?
I find it hard to believe, can't you at least you can say where it is (at
the minimum the country and idealy the city, the coordinates, etc.).
4) it must be as easy to add coordinates to
multiple items as it is with
an
on-wiki table;
Why?
Because that's the process used to add coordinates.
6) it must be easy to publish new groups of
items on the go, because the
list is built gradually (and very slowly) as we
get new authorisations;
It is.
Needs to be verified with those who maintain the list (i.e. Cristian Cenci
and WMIT secretariat).
That's a very trivial query, on WDQ just claim[496]. The query I described
is way more complex.
Can't Lua module deal with more complex query?
