sort statements as you wish

  • Problem: Sometimes, users want to check on a larger number of items whether these already have the Pid statement. Example: It can be very annoying to look up whether a given human (Q5) already has a religion or occupation statement; these would be somewhere down there between a lot of other statements…
  • Who would benefit: anyone who edits Wikidata
  • Proposed solution: It would be very useful to have some statement – chosen by you! – right above when you open the page of an item (perhaps right below an instance of statement). Or even sort the statements freely.

It's a good idea but did you know that you can go directly to a statement using the following url path Qid#Pid : Wikidata:Q2826599#P3206? PAC2 (talk) 17:42, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I didn't. Thanks for this! But it would love a more practical approach than writing #Pid in the URL every time.--Geogast (talk) 18:59, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If users are coming from an external site (ie. Wikipedia) the anchor linking to the middle of the page is very confusing. It would be better if the anchored property would be at the top of the page so there would be context AND you could select multiple properties to be grouped to the top. (example code: Wikidata:User:Zache/vector.js and link Wikidata:Q2826599#P17,P571). --Zache (talk) 18:52, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was my idea: The anchored properties go to the top. And: You choose the properties (opt-in); anyone who doesn't need this feature won't use it and won't get confused.--Geogast (talk) 18:44, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
