Example
Motivation

This was originally suggested by ArthurPSmith in the proposal for day of week (P2894) with which it is complementary. It is intended as a generic property and so the uses above are illustrative rather than exhaustive. The allowed values could be constrained to just instances or subclasses of month (Q5151) (or a different single item) if the months of various calendar systems were all instances or subclasses of that item - a few are but there appears to have been no systematic structuring of this data (most just use calendar date (Q205892) which is too broad for a meaningful constraint to this proposed property) Thryduulf (talk: local | en.wp | en.wikt) 13:49, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
