Unknown values edit

Programmer and Developer without value can't be as it should be; somebody will hopefully fix it, there's a tracking category. However, the reference URLs make sense (qualifier: for me  ), the "People" page for P178 tries to list all contributors (code, art, etc.), and the mailing-list URL for P943 is the current archive of the developer mailing list. –2.247.245.46 22:16, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dupe Q2176159 edit

@HakanIST: Two mostly identical instance of + genre statements indicating a turn-based strategy game are odd. Based on en:X4 with a Freeciv screenshot replacing one Q2176159 by X4 as genre of strategy video game would offer better info. –2.247.245.104 10:10, 4 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Much improved by @Infovarius: thanks, notably the dupe and some weird ±1 are gone, and of looks better than instance of for a not yet existing Portable Apps Format. Maybe X4 could be added as another genre statement or claim. –89.204.138.33 21:59, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Version ranks edit

Suggested and at the moment implemented scheme: Release 2.x.y is deprecated by 2.x.z for y<z, and the latest 2.z.m is preferred beating any remaining normal 2.y.n with y<z. If nothing special happens 2.6 will be released next year (1st public beta exists), and replaced by 3.0 later (branch exists, master is 3.1). –89.204.138.33 22:34, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Q83 (MediaWiki) uses another approach, instead of a ranking older releases get different version types, among others revision tag, obsolete version, some confusions of "branch" and other things, and a bunch of stable versions. Seriously dead releases have an end time. Slightly chaotic, but not as boring as everything "stable" here. (same user:) 89.15.236.224 19:51, 7 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Still working, I demoted 2.6.0 to normal, added 2.6.1 as preferred and 2.5.12 as normal. All those IPs on this talk page are "me", and on Wikidata folks will know that this is an un-sourced "claim". 84.46.52.210 12:08, 8 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

P4073 edit

Nothing against ca.freeciv (català) as Wikia wiki ID, it is one of the about five major FANDOM (wikia) Freeciv wikis, together with de.freeciv (Deutsch), ru.freeciv (русский), etc., but if this property can have only one value freeciv (English) was and still is the mothership. –46.59.175.56 04:44, 26 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Related nit, if the commons gallery is a property, then an identical site-link makes no sense (for me). Maybe a bot should fix this everywhere. –84.46.53.112 04:05, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
