Hey folks :)
The next deployment is on Tuesday. We've reworked handling of time and geocoordinates quite considerably. It'd be awesome if you could give it some testing at test.wikidata.org and let me know about any issues you encounter.
Cheers Lydia
Hi Lydia,
What are the changes? And how is that when I enter a "10" in a datatype:time field it gets replaced by "10 s"? Shouldn't it be just "10" (as in year 10)?
Cheers, Micru

"10s" is actually a decade. That's due to the automatic precision guessing (think year 14000). You should be able to set the precision manually, for example to year, but that seems to be broken (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63726).

I am seeing that and a few other issues, which are probably related.
(Using English, with ISO dates format pref) If I input '2010', it defaults to precision decade and shows '2010s'. IMO that in itself is a regression. 1/10th of all years end in a zero - that is not a reason to presume the user meant a decade.
If I adjust the precision to century, the value is replaced with a spinner and then shows '2010s' again. With a little fiddling (selecting decade and then century; or using the drop-up/down precision selector), it does change to '20. century'. It should be '21st century' in English. Once '20. century' is saved, reload and edit, attempting to set any other precision will result in '2. millennium' - there is no way in the advanced precision tool to set the precision so that '20. century' displays again.
Another one:
Set a value to 'January 1' with month precision. Save. Edit. Try to change it to day precision. It wont save the altered precision.
if it helps, I was very quickly playing here:

Basically a rework of all the parsing and formatting. Which is why we need a lot of testing ;-) Thanks to you and everyone else who already tested and gave feedback.
Cheers Lydia
