Discussion edit
Notified participants of WikiProject Australia --Dhx1 (talk) 14:19, 2 November 2021 (UTC)- Comment. If this is to be created, specific items such as Cavendish banana (Q1051869) should be used, instead of storing a lot of different values under stuff like banana (Q503).

- @Thierry Caro: This is a good point and I do agree that it would be better to have separate items for Cavendish banana (Q1051869) (the entire plant) and the fruit of this cultivar of banana plant. It is even trickier for grafted fruit trees where you can mix and match rootstocks with scions producing different types of fruit. Then there are also different items for cauliflower (Q23900272) vs. "caulilini" [1] (and also just cauliflower (Q23900272) at a different maturity). We have this exact problem today with PLU code (P4030) where there is a different produce code for small apples of a particular cultivar and medium apples of the same cultivar. They're botanically the same thing but are different saleable products currently modeled in Wikidata as a single item with multiple PLU codes. Ideally this property proposal and PLU code (P4030) would also have a single best value and distinct value constraint in the future but that is a lot of work possibly not achievable with the editing resources of Wikidata today, so properties are being used flexibly with a 1:many mapping instead. --Dhx1 (talk) 00:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment And no doubt iceberg lettuces in bundles of four and iceberg lettuces with roots are entirely different products. Do we really want this? MargaretRDonald (talk) 04:33, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- @MargaretRDonald: There are conferences and symposiums ([2] [3]) around the world dedicated to questions such as this, and books and research papers ([4]) comparing the differences in selling lettuce with or without roots. --Dhx1 (talk) 00:59, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
