Talk:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Wikidata: Enable the "class" and "relation" parameters on more constraint types

Thank you!

Hey @Swpb - thanks so much for submitting and then editing your wish!

It sounds like you'd like to expand the usage of constraints, which might solve for an anti-pattern workaround. If this wish were solved as you've proposed, what sort of impact do you think it'd have on the quality or breadth of Wikidata? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 19:46, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly support this wish. If these kinds of constraints were added they would make it much easier to specify and keep up-to-date constraints that would guard against errors like creating instances of classes that are occupations, such as plumber (Q252924), keeping the human (Q5) part of Wikidata more consistent with the community norms in that area. These kinds of constraints would also be useful in the ship (Q11446) domain. Peter F. Patel-Schneider (talk) 21:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
