What is the difference between competition (Q23807345) and competition (Q476300)? The labels seem to be the same for several languages (e.g. de, en, es, …).

The russian wikipedia page for Q23807345 says both words are antonyms, then why is competition (Q23807345) a subclass of competition (Q476300) and what would be a sensible description to add to this item so the two items are not confused?

The russian wiktionary page for Q23807345 says both words are synonyms, then why are there two different wikidata items for words that are synonyms of each other?

@Infovarius: can you help here? Seems that Russian language skills are helpful here… Thanks, MisterSynergy (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, I wouldn't say that they are antonyms, they are quite the same. It is hard to explain the exact difference for me. Usually ru:соревнование refers to sport while ru:конкуренция (sitelink in Q476300) used in economics and sociology. ru:соперничество is probably the common term for both and perhaps it is wrong to have such label in second item... But I was finding some more general term than sports competition... --Infovarius (talk) 15:42, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We have two "competition" items whose meanings I think are clear: competition (Q841654) (meaning an individual event, such as an award selection, a sports match, or a public election, at which participants compete for something), and competition (Q476300) (meaning the phenomenon of agents seeking mutually exclusive goals). But I'm still not sure what competition (Q23807345) represents. 73.223.72.200 04:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
