Types

There are many cyrillic alphabets. It is more natural to use writing system (P282)=Ukrainian alphabet (Q1098595) in Ukrainian (Q8798) than simply Cyrillic script (Q8209). If no one against, I'll add all cyrillic alphabets to a list of constraints.

 – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Infovarius (talk • contribs).

Replacing "One of" constraint

I added a constraint on "value type"=notation (Q2001982), rather than the perpetually outdated explicit list of supported elements that was listed by the "One of" constraint. For reference:

• last version of the "One of" constraint and its resulting list of violations
• current set of qualified writing systems
• current set of qualified alphabets
• or, more generally, many types of notation

I suppose we should choose either writing system (Q8192) or alphabet (Q9779) as the root in order not to include language, mathematics, musics and others. --Infovarius (talk) 10:04, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
