Is it expected that everyday Wikidata editors will know they should bypass that warning,
and how to do it? That warning stopped me in my tracks.

Thanks, Smit. I've read about that on the property
chat for P21. I
haven't been able to get it to work. Here's an example (I know this
person's gender and fixed the statement after taking this screen shot
of my feeble attempt at "unknown value"). Am I doing it wrong?
You can bypass that warning by hitting "publish" again (warnings generated from
edit filters can always be bypassed by attempting to do the edit again). That error
message is coming from
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/13
which doesn't seem to handle unknown value properly.
Note that all edits where that warning was ignored can be seen at
