  •   Oppose given the overhead of creating more properties, the nature of the sitelinks, it's preferable to use described at URL. An ever increasing number of dormant properties add unneeded maintenance burden. --- Jura 15:44, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jura1: in a certain way i understand you doubt, but whats the difference in "maintenance burden" for a dormant property instead of "dormant" or even broken described at url statements? isn't it easier to maintain dormant properties, even to delete them, then to analyse it in string based manner on described at URL property? --Mfchris84 (talk) 18:39, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
