Description(s) - Wikidata-tech

8 Oct 2014

Hi all,

in the dump file
wikidatawiki-20140912-pages-articles.xml.bz2

I seem to find some items with a key "description", some with
"descriptions".

For example, near the beginning of the file:
Q15 seems to have key "description"
Q17 seems to have key "descriptions"

This is rather unhelpful when running e.g. my stats script.

a) Can someone please confirm that I'm not crazy? I mean, in this instance.
b) Is this a bug, or a feature?
c) If a bug, is it already fixed for the next dump? Which key will it be?
(If a feature: why?)

Thanks,
Magnus
