Motivation

The current state of affairs where the allowed values for constraints are defined on the talk page is clumsy. Having to visit the talk page of a property to know which values are allowed creates additional work and thus less people will look at the constraints of the item.

Documenting these values on the property itself has also the advantage that the information is easier to query automatically then if the information is written in the talk page. ChristianKl (talk) 20:11, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion
We already have all properties to describe constraints as statements instead on the talk page. See [1]. --Pasleim (talk) 12:44, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
