Discussion

Mandatory occupation field ?

Is this a valid use of this constraint. College basketball players, can they truly be said to have an occupation of basketball player? They are not paid to be basketball players. Perhaps it would be better if there was a mandatory use of the item sport set to basketball.

False negatives for current regex pattern

Currently, this property uses the regular expression [a-z-_]+-\d{1,2} to test for valid IDs. After scraping all the IDs, I found a few that this regex doesn't match:

name	external_id
Karl Anderson	karl2-anderson-1
Mike Bell	mike2-bell-1
Tom 2 Brennan	tom2-brennan-1
Jim 2 Brown	jim2-brown-1
Justin Brownlee	justin-brown-116
Bill(2) Chambers	bill2-chambers-1
Charlie 2 Farrell	charlie2-farrell-1
Larry 2 Grisham	larry2-grisham-1
Greg Jones	greg-jones-911
Mike Jones	michael-jones
Sterling 2 Jones	sterling2-jones-1
Tom 2 Jones	tom2-jones-1
Johnny McCarthy	john2-mccarthy-1
Haworth 2 Parks	haworth2-parks-1
Daryle 2 Ruby	daryle2-ruby-1
Anthony Smith	anthony-smith-915
Jim 2 Walker	jim2-walker-1
Sam 2 Williams	sam2-williams-1

I'm going to update the regex to [a-z2-_]+-\d{1,3} to accommodate these. This still fails for "michael-jones", but I think that is better handled as an exception to constraint (P2303) (if we allowed for numberless slugs, people might omit the number on accident and not realize). –IagoQnsi (talk) 18:34, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Duplicative mandatory constraints

Why does this need mandatory constraints on both league = NCAA Division I men's basketball and competition class = men's basketball. It's just duplicated data, by definition 'NCAA Division I men's basketball' is men's basketball CanadianCodhead (talk) 16:09, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

@CanadianCodhead: It's a broader way of retrieving that information; it's the same reason that sport=basketball is a mandatory constraint. If you wanted to do a query of all men's basketball, it'd be a more complex query if you had to dig into each league to figure out what competition class it was. –IagoQnsi (talk) 20:12, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Women's basketball added

FYI: The site now includes Division I women's basketball. The site's women's database initially started with the 2009–10 season. — Dale Arnett (talk) 18:22, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
