# Astrid Lindgren's short stories > Wikimedia list article **Wikidata**: [Q96859576](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q96859576) **Source**: https://4ort.xyz/entity/astrid-lindgren-s-short-stories ## Summary Astrid Lindgren's short stories is a Wikimedia list article that functions as a bibliography, cataloging short stories written by Astrid Lindgren. This knowledge organization entry exists primarily in German Wikipedia and represents a specialized bibliographic resource within the Wikimedia ecosystem. ## Key Facts - **Entity Type:** Wikimedia list article and bibliography - **Content Focus:** Lists short stories by Astrid Lindgren - **Language Availability:** German Wikipedia (de) only - **Sitelink Count:** 1 sitelink total across Wikimedia projects - **Wikidata Description:** "Wikimedia list article" - **Classification:** Categorized under Q55767 in Wikidata's knowledge structure - **Related Academic Field:** Connected to bibliography as an academic discipline that studies books - **List Type:** Is a list of short stories specifically, not novels or other works ## FAQs **What exactly is the "Astrid Lindgren's short stories" entry?** It is a Wikimedia list article, which means it's a Wikipedia page designed as a structured list rather than a prose article. Its specific purpose is to serve as a bibliography documenting Astrid Lindgren's short story works. **Where can I find this list of Astrid Lindgren's short stories?** The bibliography is currently available only through the German-language Wikipedia (de.wikipedia.org), which accounts for its single sitelink count in Wikidata's cross-project tracking. **How does this relate to the academic discipline of bibliography?** This list article is an applied instance of bibliography—the systematic documentation of publications. While the academic discipline studies books as physical objects and organizes knowledge, this specific entry practices bibliography by creating a structured record of Lindgren's short stories. **Why is this entry classified as both a list article and a bibliography?** Wikimedia's classification system recognizes that some list articles serve bibliographic functions. This dual classification indicates the page is both a formatted list and a scholarly inventory of literary works. ## Why It Matters This bibliographic entry plays a crucial role in organizing and preserving knowledge about Astrid Lindgren's literary output, specifically her short story works. As a structured list within Wikimedia's knowledge ecosystem, it provides researchers, librarians, and readers with a consolidated reference point for identifying and accessing Lindgren's short stories. The entry's existence demonstrates how Wikimedia projects implement formal bibliographic principles—derived from the academic discipline founded by Paul Otlet—to catalog cultural heritage. Despite its limited language availability, it contributes to the broader mission of making literary works discoverable and systematically documented. The entry's classification under Q55767 places it within a global framework of knowledge organization, enabling machine-readable connections to other bibliographic resources and supporting semantic web applications that rely on Wikidata's structured data. ## Notable For - **Specialized Scope:** Unlike general author bibliographies, this entry focuses exclusively on short stories, excluding novels, plays, or other writings - **Single-Language Availability:** Unusually restricted to German Wikipedia, lacking equivalents in English or other major languages - **Minimal Cross-Project Presence:** With only 1 sitelink, it has the lowest possible Wikimedia project integration - **Applied Bibliography:** Serves as a practical implementation of bibliographic principles within a crowdsourced knowledge base - **Wikidata Integration:** Part of a structured knowledge system where it is formally classified as an instance of both "Wikimedia list article" and "bibliography" ## Body ### Nature and Classification The entry "Astrid Lindgren's short stories" exists as a Wikimedia list article, which distinguishes it from traditional encyclopedia articles written in prose. List articles on Wikipedia are formatted to present information in organized, often sortable lists rather than narrative paragraphs. This particular list is simultaneously classified as a bibliography, meaning its function is to systematically document and enumerate published works. In Wikidata's knowledge organization system, it is assigned the identifier Q55767 and carries the description "Wikimedia list article." The entry is explicitly defined as "a list of short story," making its content scope precise and narrow. ### Content and Scope The fundamental purpose of this bibliography is to catalog the short stories authored by Astrid Lindgren. As a specialized bibliography, it does not attempt to list all of Lindgren's works—such as her famous Pippi Longstocking novels or other writings—but concentrates solely on her short story output. This focused approach makes it a targeted resource for researchers studying Lindgren's shorter-form fiction. The entry's classification as "bibliography" aligns it with the academic discipline that studies books as physical objects and organizes publications systematically, though the list itself is a practical application rather than a theoretical study. ### Availability and Access Access to this bibliographic resource is notably limited. The entry has a sitelink count of just 1, indicating it exists on only one Wikimedia project. That project is the German-language Wikipedia (de). This single-language availability is unusual for a major author like Astrid Lindgren, whose works have international recognition. The German Wikipedia hosts this list, making it accessible to German-speaking users and those who can navigate the language, but it lacks direct equivalents in English, Swedish (Lindgren's native language), or other Wikimedia language editions. ### Relationship to Bibliographic Discipline The entry is connected to bibliography as an academic discipline, which was founded by Paul Otlet and involves the systematic analysis, description, and listing of publications. While the discipline encompasses descriptive, textual, and critical bibliography—studying material conditions, printings, and physical characteristics of books—this Wikimedia list represents the practical output of such scholarship. It creates bibliographic records for Lindgren's short stories, contributing to the organized retrieval of literary information. The discipline's principles, including systematic documentation and classification, are embedded in how this list is structured within Wikimedia's knowledge base. ### Knowledge Organization Context Within the broader ecosystem of information science, this entry functions as a bibliographic record aggregator. Its Dewey Decimal Classification would theoretically fall under literature categories, though the source material only confirms that bibliography as a discipline is classified under 010. The entry's presence in Wikidata allows for machine-readable connections and semantic relationships, enabling it to be queried and linked to other entities. As part of the Wikimedia Foundation's projects, it benefits from the platform's infrastructure for collaborative knowledge creation, even as it maintains its specialized, single-language status. The entry demonstrates how modern digital libraries and knowledge bases implement traditional bibliographic concepts in open, editable environments.
