Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Larger suggestions/Granular protection for Wikidata items
This proposal is a larger suggestion that is out of scope for the Community Tech team. Participants are welcome to vote on it, but please note that regardless of popularity, there is no guarantee this proposal will be implemented. Supporting the idea helps communicate its urgency to the broader movement. |
Granular protection for Wikidata items
- Problem: Some wiki projects actively uses Wikidata labels. And there are Wikidata item labels that are used in thousands of articles. Items like this need to be able to restrict label editing, while still allowing claims to be filled in and sitelinks to be added.
- Proposed solution: Provide an ability to protect labels/descriptions/aliases, statements and sitelinks separately
- Who would benefit: Wiki communites who actively uses Wikidata

Discussion
- This is not feasible for our team, since it would involve a fundamental rewrite of the MediaWiki storage model, or a major re-working of Wikibase. It's most certainly a valid proposal, though, so I'm moving it to our Larger suggestions category. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 03:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

- Support although I'm not sure how this would practically work, particularly where the items need labels adding in other languages but the existing ones should ideally be protected. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:09, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
