English label[edit]

Should be the code, not its description. Mary McAllen (talk) 22:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mary McAllen: Can you please elaborate why? I think "Tropical rainforest climate" makes for a way more descriptive label than "Af" does, especially for layman. Is there anything special you want to do that needs the code, but not the descriptive label? Cheers, Hoo man (talk) 01:25, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the label should be the "descriptive" label instead of the code. Mary McAllen uses these codes to provide concise columns of climate types of a table of places in Wikipedia. Using codes in these tables makes sense. I think the solution is to have a new Wikidata property that specifies the climate code, much like we have an item like English (Q1860) with the label being "English" and with the ISO 639-2 code (P219) property equal to "en". —seav (talk) 03:30, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is should be the code. If not here, where is it? Mary McAllen (talk) 20:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Mary McAllen: Please answer the above questions and stop edit warring. If you don't manage to reason your changes, they will be reverted. Cheers, Hoo man (talk) 16:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Seav and Hoo man, and am not against having a code property. --Izno (talk) 17:05, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
