Motivation edit

Many characters have a specific age in their respective fictional universes, which does not change (it would not be applicable, so, to most of the characters from Marvel, DC and universes like Harry Potter one). For example, even if there are "birthday episodes" and other dated events, Bart Simpson (eg) will always be officially described as a 10-year-old child. The same goes for a large number of other characters of many other fictional universes, such as Monica's Gang or Dungeons & Dragons (TV series). Even considering the Property:P3629 as qualifier of Property:P1441, I don't think it fits good. It's just like... Age in a "fictional universe", that can be applied to dozens of books, films etc. Regards, Sturm (talk) 18:23, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Comment Hi, it's a great idea. What about two properties? One "age at first appearance" and "age at last appearance"? That would cover the Harry Potter example, at least: (Harry Potter (Q3244512) → "age at first appearance": 1 (November 1st, 1981) and → "age at last appearance": 37 (September 1st, 2017). Good contributtions, Ederporto (talk) 23:04, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think these both could so fit to the characters of minor relevant ("inner joke" here) fictional universes, just like Marvel, DC all Harry Potter books...

This prop I am proposing here is for the static age. Sturm (talk) 02:53, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe latter those can be properly proposed. But anyway,
