Support for non-Gregorian and non-Julian calendar models on Wikidata
- Problem: Wikidata does not support calender models other than Gregorian and Julian, but there are a vast amount of data described in other calender models like Hijri, Hebrew, Bengali etc., which don't get incorporated into Wikidata.
- Proposed solution: Provide a system to include other calender models so that users can input data accordingly.
- Who would benefit: Non-Western communities who have data in these other calender models but have no option to include them in current system.

Discussion
- Good point; already mentioned in Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Wikidata/Time and date handling improvements, which aggregated also other tickets related to the handling of dates in Wikidata. --Epì dosis 20:17, 31 January 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
- It would help to enter into Wikidata event of dates that are known in local calendar but the calendar's conversion to Gregorian calendar remain uncertain. C933103 (talk) 05:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
