Hey everyone :)
As promised we just enabled support for quantities with units on Wikidata. So from now on you'll be able to store fancy things like the height of a mountain or the boiling point of an element.
Quite a few properties have been waiting on unit support before they are created. I assume they will be created in the next hours and then you can go ahead and add all of the measurements.
For anyone who is curious: Here is the list of properties already created since unit support is available: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListProperties/quantity&a... and here is the list of properties that were waiting on unit support: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Pending/2 Those should change over the next hours/days.
Sweet!
It seems to assume a default uncertainty on values, though: I just added the elevation above sea level to: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1513315 just specifying the central value, and it assumes that this value is +- 0.1 km - which isn't a good assumption to make...
Thanks, Mike
