Note that the {{Constraint:Item|property=P31|item=Q815241}} - constraint is most likely to restrictive. The database contains runic inscriptions, these can be on runestones but also on other surfaces (as "graffiti" on Bysantine ruins, on preserved wood etc.). /André Costa (WMSE) (talk) 14:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see what it does and adapt it depending on the output. --- Jura 14:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Should also have image (P18)" will also be difficult in some cases.

P387 (P387) maybe can be added! The datatype is string, so it does not have the problems the monolingual datatype has. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 08:13, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are "must have", "likely to have" and "nice to have" constraints. The first ones can be marked "mandatory", the last ones shouldn't be added if there are too many errors. --- Jura 08:18, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For inscriptions, Uppland Runic Inscription 932 (Q7899135) uses P438 (P438) which seems more appropriate (although that property is apparently being replaced with inscription (P1684), which is unfortunate as it requires you to define a language which doesn't seem entirely appropriate for ancient texts where language determination is largely based on interpretation).

We could use image (P18): no value for inscriptions that haven't been documented and are now considered lost (with sources and an "as of" qualifier in case the inscriptions turn up again). That would take care of many violations, although caution is warranted. Väsk (talk) 15:42, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is the possibility to create new language (and script) codes just for Wikidata. Maybe one or several should be requested. --- Jura 16:35, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of P438 (P438). Some stones are written (at least partly) in a kind of code, for example the stone in Rök. Do we have any property for interpretations? Many of these were done in the 19th century, so they are not always copyrighted. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 05:03, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

E.g. in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sundby_U_81_r%C3%A4ttv%C3%A4nd.jpeg how do I add U 81 to the Rundata property? @ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2: Macuser (talk) 22:03, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• You might want to ask at c:Commons talk:Structured data. On Wikidata, you can add it as at Q18334426#P1261. --- Jura 22:31, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
