Infobox Template "Collection"

An infobox template would be good, containing:

• Name of the collection (preferably matching the page name)
• Alternative names and short titles (often, there are quite a few of them)
• WikiData Item No. (More than 50 collections are in WikiData, see the relevant category in the German Wikipedia.)
• Clavis key
• Main author(s) of the article (Linda Fowler-Magerl by default)
• place of origin
  • region Category:Collections by region
  • precise place of origin
• date of origin
  • century, see Category:Collections by century
  • terminus post quem
  • terminus ante quem
• number of mss (perhaps rough categories will do, like "one", "some (2-9)", "many (10-99)"?)
• size (see Category:Collections by size
• structure (chronologcal, by topic, farrago)

For many basic features (place of origin, date of origin, size) there are already relevant categories. Both "number of mss" and "structure" may also be nice to have as categories. Christof Rolker (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2023 (CEST)--

Added for all pages in the Category:Canonical Collection using the current template, mostly relying on the categories used on each page. As of now, both structure and WikiData is consistently missing due to no corresponding data.

Right now both the infobox as well as the categories need to be changed manually when new information is implemented. Long term we'll try to find a different solution SStark (talk) 17:13, 23 November 2023 (CEST)--

Also manually inserted wikidata to those collections which are in the relevant category on wikipedia and which already had an infobox (so not marked as to split). In order to simplify this process in the future, the wikidata itself would need to be cleaned up (all collections would need to be instances of the correct class and preferably have English labels identical to at least one title used on our corresponding page).
