Discard constraint "One of" edit

Constraint "One of" is out of date and its role is already better fulfilled by the more flexible "Value type":game mode (Q2310257) (see its latest report). I am now suppressing that constraint; for reference, here were the last statistics collected by the "One of" type report. LaddΩ chat ;) 21:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Q209075 (multiplayer game) and Q6895044 (multiplayer video game) edit

Why should this property use Q209075 instead of Q6895044? The first one means multiplayer games more in general. The second object is the better one for video games. Nonetheless many Wikipedias just use one of them. --Toru10 (talk) 15:11, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
