Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

Done: Torino scale (P12168) (Talk and documentation)

Description	The Torino scale level for the astronomical object
Data type	Item
Example 1	99942 Apophis (Q118931) -> Torino Scale Level 4 (Q116879523) (start time (P580) -> 2004-12-23, end time (P582) -> 2004-12-27)
Example 2	(144898) 2004 VD17 (Q139275) -> Torino Scale Level 2 (Q116879519) (start time (P580) -> 2006-02, end time (P582) -> 2006-05-20)
Example 3	2022 QX4 (Q113913449) -> Torino Scale Level 1 (Q116879514) (point in time (P585) -> 2022-09-04)

Motivation edit

Torino Scale (Q83086) is a scale which was coined in 1996 to evaluate the danger caused by asteroid impacts. This property will be helpful to manage Torino Scale Level for each astromical body. In the most cases, Torino Scale is downgraded to 0 after following observations, so the highest Torino Scale Level for the objects will be subject to this property. (It is also possible to manage Torino Scale Level with start time (P580) and end time (P582).)--Christmas Wreath (talk) 05:03, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment One can easily think of cases in which an object’s Torino Scale levels from multiple time periods or multiple points in time are relevant, for example the level immediately following discovery, the highest level, and the current level; or the levels assessed before each of several approaches. Therefore, making this property about the ‘highest ever’ level seems too restrictive. Rather, we might want to encourage the use of qualifiers. Also, we might want to decide on a guideline on how ranks should be used on statements with this property. And maybe on what to do about Level 0 (the guideline here might be to not record it as a separate statement). ―BlaueBlüte (talk) 07:12, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you. This property should not be restricted to the highest ones. Qualifiers such as start time (P580), end time (P582), and point in time (P585) should be used. I think the current level should use the prefered rank, rather than the highest rank ever. I don't think objects which have never been ranked above level 0 should have this statement.--Christmas Wreath (talk) 10:31, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Support in that form. (The motivation section above could still use an update to reflect the new momentary/qualified rather than maximum semantics of this proposed property.) ―BlaueBlüte (talk) 04:38, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikidata property descriptions aren't in Wikitext and thus you can't use templates in them. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 12:27, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
