Hey,
(Mail mainly directed at Denny)
I am wondering to what extend we want to be able to specify the "data type"
of a property on wiki. Right now one can only provide which DataType to use
(where DataTypes are system defined) and nothing else. Do we also want to
be able to specify things such as a list of allowed values, which
ValueValidators to use, ect? I'm asking since Tpt poked me asking about
doing exactly such a thing, which is written down here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Tpt/Support_of_external_ids
I have been working under the assumption we do not want this (at least
initially) so there currently is no place to track such per-property info
internally. If we do want to support this any time soon, I'd like to know
now so we can already facilitate it. (By facilitate it I mean holding it
into account when writing new code or modifying existing stuff, not
actually implementing it.)
Cheers
