Also other items[edit]

I believe "product" is too commercial a term. Can one not develop or invent things which are not sold as "products"? I've changed it to the neutral term "item," accordingly. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:51, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can see no issue with using this to specify the developer in any situation. Danrok (talk) 16:03, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on one's interpretation of developer. Do you have examples where you would need it outside the domain of products? LaddΩ chat ;) 22:38, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

building developer?[edit]

This property seems to be used for building developers, construction client (Q15587490)? See, e.g., One World Trade Center (Q11245). — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For building and structures, rather use architect (P84) or structural engineer (P631). LaddΩ chat ;) 22:38, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, Wot!? architect (P84) or structural engineer (P631) is something entirely different than a construction client (Q15587490). There are presently no name for construction client (Q15587490) in English. French has "Maîtrise d'ouvrage" and German "Bauherr" (like Danish "Bygherre"). At least "Bygherre" is not at all architect (P84) or structural engineer (P631). — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 12:48, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any other concerns against the use of this property? --MB-one (talk) 22:22, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Owner builder is a fundamentally different idea. A software developer is a person or group actually making a software product, while owner is (as far as I understand) someone who just organizes the building process. So yes, I have concerns against mixing the two concepts. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:16, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tacsipacsi: I will propose a new property, then. Thank you. --MB-one (talk) 14:15, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Developer for a product or structure[edit]

I noticed in Polish this property is translated as "deweloper", which is strictly a building developer. Should we change that to "producent", more in things sense, than building? Holek (talk) 16:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple developers[edit]

E.g. Q1686799 was developed by one company and is now developed by an organization. How would you define that?

Software done from scratch by someone and then developed by someone else[edit]

The property "Developer" should be matched with the starting developer or there is another more suitable property in a case such this?--Malore (talk) 19:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject item[edit]

@Mike Novikoff: Regarding Special:Diff/1017286711, video game developer (Q210167) is distinct from video game developer (Q58287519), isn’t it? Jean-Fred (talk) 23:27, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is. I've reverted my edit. — Mike Novikoff 23:57, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

French label[edit]

Following this request for comments, the French label now includes the male and the female form. PAC2 (talk) 04:34, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
