Class of species or of individual animals?[edit]

The description suggests to use this for species ("unicorn instance of Q15702752") and to use Q3542731 (changed by me; it was Q14623523, which got merged) for individual instances of fictional animals. However, Q3542731 is a subclass of Q15702752, meaning that any instance of Q3542731 is also an instance of Q15702752. Thus the guideline in the description makes little sense. It should be clarified if Q15702752 is a class that has individual animals as instance (as "Q3542731 subclass of Q15702752" suggests) or if it is a class that has species of animals as instances (as the description suggests). --Markus Krötzsch (talk) 22:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Q3542731 <subclass of> Q15702752 statement has been removed, which I think was the right decision. There's still an issue with this item in that it's listed as a fictional analogue of Q729, which is a class of animals instead of a class of classes of animals. --Yair rand (talk) 23:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Changed to species (Q7432), so now it's ok. @Brya: what don't you like else? --Infovarius (talk) 19:13, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am still trying to figure out what fictional organism (Q1972868) is supposed to be. Also, there doesn't appear to be an item "fictional intelligent species". - Brya (talk) 04:21, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
j1) Yes, fictional organism (Q1972868) is a mystery :) May be to invite User:Arctic.gnome and User:Andreasmperu to Talk:Q1972868. 2) But there is fictional intelligent species (Q28100286). --Infovarius (talk) 21:05, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
fictional intelligent species (Q28100286) might work for "fictional intelligent species". There is only one link to it, making it hard to say what it is for. The big problem is that it is marked as being a subclass of character race (Q2607197), which is really different and focuses on human-inspired 'races' in fantasy (approximately what would be "humanoid" in SF). - Brya (talk) 18:03, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
