Description

We would like to have a compact StatmentView.
Therefore we should consider relocating the Add Statement Toolbar.
And we also may want to replace '0 references' with 'add reference'.

More compact view features:

collapse groups of statements (e.g. all external identifiers)
ignore groups of statements (e.g. all awards and nominations)
summarize groups of statents (10 external identifiers instead of a detailed view of identifiers )
..

Thanks for reporting. If I understand it right, the reason is to save (vertical) screenspace.

Two questions:

Are there any examples where saving the space is particularly needed? (it is naturally still valid if there are none, it could just help designing/reviewing the design if there are these examples)
Are there any additional reasons (other than saving vertical space) for suggesting the change?

Items with a lot of statements and the upcoming commons integration.
Connection between 'add' button and adding a certain statement is not intuitive.

Hello all,

Contributing with an example:

Covid-19 related items are hard to browse manually, due to a great number of values for number of cases, number of deaths and hospitalisations.

For example, the item for the pandemic in France (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q83873593 )

Notice the scrollbar position for the beginning and the end of the statement for number of deaths.

It occupies more than five times the space of all four other previous statements, labels in 4 languages and the item title combined. This makes the interface quite unfriendly to navigate.

Adding the example figure from the phabricator T239820: Foldable/Collapsable statements for multivalued properties

Screenshot_2019-12-04 MediaWiki.png (682×932 px, 33 KB)

for reference.

Also, I believe that transcluding the text from T239820: Foldable/Collapsable statements for multivalued properties may be useful:

Based on the discussion here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team#Suggestion:_Foldable_Statements, this ticket has been created. The idea is to support foldable statements for multi-valued properties like that for references. Take for example software versions of Mediawiki software take a lot of space as shown in the figure below (above by @Jsamwrites). The user has to scroll a lot for seeing the next property value.
Other examples include population values, biological process (Property:P681), example coming from the discussion above).
