Motivation edit
It's common for entries for taxa, especially extinct ones, to have at least two suitable images: a photo/illustration and the skeletal remains/fossil for it. It would be good to have both in their relevant entries. NMaia (talk) 06:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Question What about pig (Q787)image (P18):File:Domestic pig skeleton at MAV-USP.jpgapplies to part (P518)skeleton (Q7881) and Vespersaurus (Q64836111)image (P18):File:Vespersaurus foot.png applies to part (P518)fossil (Q40614)?--Tinker Bell ★ ♥ 16:46, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- image (P18) does not accept applies to part (P518) (I think that's what's being suggested?). I actually proposed that we allow that qualifier recently, but another user disagreed. See talk page for image (P18). Calliopejen1 (talk) 07:19, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Such as the explanation above, the existing property is sufficient David (talk) 06:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Comment In general, people prefer just one value in P18, so a selection with a distinct property could indeed be helpful. I'm not entirely convinced by the suggested wording, but I'm not really a specialist in the field. --- Jura 13:34, 20 July 2019 (UTC)- Comment @Tinker Bell: depicted part (P5961) skeleton (Q7881) looks like a better approach than using applies to part (P518), particularly as fossil (Q40614) is not part of animal (Q729), it is only part of an animal (Q729) which has undergone a fossilization (Q65762114) process.
