Mul language

From Wikimedia Belgium

For a lot of instances multiple languages typically have identical labels and descriptions.

As a consequence Wikidata has storage and performance problems with redundant labels and descriptions, taking up storage and memory.

Examples

[edit]
  • Names of persons, firstnames, lastnames → labels only to be stored for the mul language (no description); the same for aliases
  • Descriptions of instances of firstnames, lastnames → should be not be stored; to be retrieved at runtime from the instance language label
