No, the difference here is that L items are not the same as Q items - e.g. L items do not have sitelinks, and do have lemmas and senses. Data structure is different. If you use different data structure than Q items - i.e., no labels, descriptions, sitelinks, etc. - then you should use a different letter. But if it's the same structure, but for different domain - then it should be Q. > Most other sites that link to Wikidata only care about just one of those > projects. E.g.

No, that would be confusing. If OSM wants own data type, because Q item does not fit - e.g. OSM doesn't want descriptions and sitelinks - then it should use a separate letter, like MediaInfo uses M. But using L would not be smart since then this data would not integrate well with lexicografical data. -- Stas Malyshev [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
