I started https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Property_documen... suggest that /doc subpages of properties be transcluded onto the property pages themselves.
John Lewis suggested I was wasting everybody's time, and that it was already on the development team's list. Could I get a reference or a pointer to this "list", and to any specification about what exactly is being worked on, and what the time frame might be?
Thanks! Chris Maloney (User:Klortho)

You can follow it and find details at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49554. I can't give you a time-frame though. I realize it is important to get done to make Wikidata less opaque.

Hi, Lydia,
Thanks for the response. I read the bug, and the referenced Project chat discussion ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/10#Property...), but they don't seem related to what I am specifically proposing.
Since it seems that both John and you haven't gotten the gist of it, I amended it with a more detailed description and examples: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Property_documen... .
What I am suggesting is very simply that human-written, and human-readable prose documentation, as written on a property subpage (e.g. Doc:P1060 or Property_doc:P1060) be transcluded onto the Property main page, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1060. To make it unobtrusive, perhaps it could be in an expand/collapse block.
Thanks, Chris
