Hey folks :)
We just enabled statements on properties. You can for example use this to:
- describe mappings to other projects' vocabularies
- indicate constraints for the usage of this property (currently
stored in templates on the talk page of the property)
- store information about where this property is used in other
projects to make sure they can be notified when major changes are made to how the property is used
- provide links to extensive documentation about and showcases for the
usage of this property
- store patterns for how an identifier should be expanded to form a proper
URL
- ...
Some notes:
- You can't yet make statements linking to other properties to for
example indicate that property X is the inverse of property Y. We are adding a new datatype for that. It'll come soon. The ticket for that is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75302
- Constraint violation reports currently don't take these statements
into account. They will continue to use the templates on the property's talk page. A team of students is currently working on overhauling the whole constraint system. It'll take them a while still though.
Unrelated but also important for you to know: If a page is deleted on Wikipedia/Commons/... that has a sitelink in an item on Wikidata that link will be removed automatically now.
