Project:Progress

This page gives an overview of the progress of this project.

Category:Default form categories lists subcategories for each basic entity type and shows the total number of pages of each type.

Data structures

Data structures are not expected to change much in future.

For the current state of the data structures, see:

• Help:Create a page for a brief overview of the different types.
• Help:Data structures for a more detailed look at the properties and how they're used for each type.
• Special:Properties for a list of all semantic properties. Each property page gives more details of what it means and how it's used.
• Category:Type definitions for values that can be used for Property:Is instance of. More need to be added, especially for military units.
• Category:Property values for other property values that are not instances or classes of entities. Many more need to be added, especially military ranks.

Places and administrative areas

• Category:Addresses lists all settlements, buildings, streets, islands, bridges and land that currently have pages. This is now nearly 19,000 pages.
• Category:Areas lists all administrative areas such as counties.
• we have pages for all Cathedrals in England and Wales.
• you can drill down from Church of England to find all provinces, dioceses, archdeaconries and rural deaneries in England and Wales. We only have parishes for London, Westminster and Southwark. There are pages for some but not all peculiar jurisdictions.

Scotland

Scotland represents the country and gives links to subordinates.

• Category:Counties of Scotland by Gaelic name lists all shires of Scotland by their Gaelic names.

  • Locations:Map of Scottish islands

England

England represents the country and gives links to subordinates.

We now have a page for every:

• parliamentary constituency.

We now have over 12,000 settlements in England. At least 1,000 are still missing. You can find an individual settlement using the search box, or follow the links from county pages to query for all settlements in that county.

London

London, Westminster and Southwark now have:

• probably all parishes and churches.
• all wards of the City of London.
• more than 500 other London streets and buildings, many of them linked to Map of Early Modern London IDs.

We now have a page for every:

• county:
  • Category:Counties of Wales by Welsh name lists all shires and probably all corporate counties by Welsh names.
