An ecological classification of plants Shizhao (talk) 07:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Question @Shizhao: I'd be inclined to support a proposal like that in case you give us a list of values that this property can point to. Currently it seems like a random assortment of different ways to look at a plant from an ecological perspective (annual vs perennial, shrub vs tree, etc), which I find confusing. Maybe we could instead use only values listed by Raunkiær plant life-form (Q753033)? Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 09:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Shizhao: - please can you respond to my concerns?Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 12:41, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't think it needs to be so strict--Shizhao (talk) 13:21, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support, an important property for botany.--Arbnos (talk) 15:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose currently the proposal mixes very different ways to classify plants: ecology, parasitism, life cycle, habit... Please narrow the proposal to avoid needing to split and deprecate it further down the line. As is most plant can have the same property with three or four different items, all of which are correct.

Oppose as proposed right now Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 20:30, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I guess the question is if we should have:
- (a) one property with several values, each potentially qualified with the criterion/classification used (this seems to be proposed here)
- (b) or several properties, each with a limited number of values (and probably a single value constraint).

I think both approach have their merits. I support either. --- Jura 08:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
