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.

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. --Epìdosis 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]

Support Just to be clear, it's a problem of Non-Western communities. The problem exists also with Western calendars: for example Pisa and Florence started their years both on March, 25th but with a precise gap of one unit. We need more flexible entries, and if we had worked with these issues properly in the past, adapting to other systems would have been much faster. --Alexmar983 (talk) 21:09, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
