What means this rule? Can someone provide the actual example usage? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 02:27, 13 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

It's so the transliteration system used can be linked, I think. Arlo Barnes (talk) 21:45, 5 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Removal of constraints edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I removed the item-requires-statement constraint (Q21503247) and subject type constraint (Q21503250) constraints because they were causing constraint violations on lexeme forms. It is not currently possible to limit constraints to certain entity types and I don't know when it will be. I have already created phab:T269724 asking for it to be made possible.

Given the large number of existing constraint violations, it doesn't look like the constraint violations page is being monitored, but if someone does want to clean up the data, I would recommend making a complex constraint or Listeria page. If you need help with that, feel free to leave a note on my talk page.
