I've noticed that there is no property for assigning character designers for animated shows, and figured that this one may become useful. CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 23:35, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Comment could also be applied on characters. I don't understand your examples… may I change it to what I believe you mean? --Shisma (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment A better example would be the designer's name being used in the property, for instance, Yō Yoshinari (Q8057649) would be listed as a character designer for both BNA: Brand New Animal (Q78051864) and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Q96677963) because this article attributes BNA: Brand New Animal (Q78051864) and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Q96677963) to the person.--CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 01:51, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Support I also thought about creating this but since my experience with proposals in the past have been bad in majority I did not bother to create the page --D-Kuru (talk) 18:13, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
• @CrystallineLeMonde: Examples should say which items are supposed to be linked to which other items. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 10:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• @ChristianKl: Updated examples, now it should be good. --CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 11:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
  • @CrystallineLeMonde: According to the examples that now exist you add the claim to items of humans while the domain doesn't happen to be humans but creative work (Q17537576). One of the two needs to be changed to have it consistent. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 18:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
    • @ChristianKl: Updated category and domain. New domain is taken from the representative Item. Hopefully, it is now in the right category. --CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 19:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
      • Neither Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Q96677963) nor Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Q96677963) is instance or subclass of profession (Q28640). ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 07:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
        • Updated domain and reordered examples' direction. --CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 12:25, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
•  Support. This information can currently be provided via film crew member (P3092), but that isn't useful when the entry in question is not a film. A media franchise can also have a different character designer than the components of said media franchise. I don't believe there's a way to model that at present. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:48, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
