- Motivation
Properties for lighthouses could be more straightforward, since lighthouses are widely listed. Currently declaring this requires qualifiers. See also: WikiProject Lighthouses Susannaanas (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- Discussion
Question my initial reaction to this is to use ⟨ Bengtskär lighthouse (Q3737012). Is there a reason a specific property is better than that? Thryduulf (talk: local | en.wp | en.wikt) 21:50, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
⟩ height (P2048) ⟨ 51 m ⟩
applies to part Search ⟨ lamp ⟩
relative to (P2210) ⟨ sea level ⟩
Weak support Thryduulf's suggestion works, but I prefer well-defined, specialized properties. --Srittau (talk) 23:02, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment It is possible to tell what the height of the lamp is from the sea level (even shorter with ⟨ Bengtskär lighthouse (Q3737012)), but this is a key property of naval lights, used in lighthouse templates in several languages. There are further light properties to be proposed, such as range and intensity of the lighthouse light, see WikiProject Lighthouses. /Susannaanas (talk) 15:42, 13 June 2016 (UTC) ⟩ elevation above sea level (P2044) ⟨ 51 m ⟩
