Talk:List of Hieronymus Bosch – Visions of genius (exhibition)

help by editing exhibition catalog numbers
can the exhibition catalogue numbers be created by listeria, if I do it manually I am reverted. Could one get also references? Thx--Oursana (talk) 02:44, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * there is no such thing as exhibition catalogue number. Every exhibition tends to have a catalog. You can add catalog code (P528) with the code in this catalog, qualified with catalog (P972). See for example d:User:Jane023/Catalog of the paintings on show at the Rijksmuseum in 1956. Jane is the expert when it comes to catalogs. Multichill (talk) 10:20, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually I tend to keep those lists on Wikipedia, not Wikidata, just because I can see whether there are any changes to paintings and/or Wikidata labels on my watchlist. But that list is a good case in point, showing that the list order of the list in main namespace is really very different from the list according to Listeria: Catalog of the paintings on show at the Rijksmuseum in 1956 versus User:Jane023/Catalog of the paintings on show at the Rijksmuseum in 1956.

 * There are only 21 items, so pretty easy to just fill in the numbers by hand. The numbers seem to be currently stuffed in the exhibition property under a qualifier (at least I assume so, not having a catalog to check it with). This is not a good way to go (the code number should link to an actual catalog, and I have in the past equated the exhibition with its printed catalog, but theoretically these are 2 different items. You certainly can't depend on the code for the list order by the way. There is no way to preserve the list order with Listeria that I know of, since the next time a catalog number is added to the item the list order will be messed up. In fact this is one of the enhancements that I have requested, namely to enable a custom list order. As far as my catalog expertise goes, I use the property for "catalog" as a qualifier for "catalog code", but I don't feel that this works particularly well and am willing to use "exhibition" with a "catalog code" qualifer if anyone prefers. As an aside here, in case anyone cares, the catalog code property was initially meant for stars and other celestial objects -- I hijacked it a while ago for art catalogs.

 * My manually filled in catalogue number was reverted . And I have the catalogue. And indeed the data concerning the catalogue and exhibition participation have to be controlled.--Oursana (talk) 23:32, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
