see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q924922 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodsk%C3%A9 (corresponding article in wikipedia) I want to express the statement "Brodské is a small village lying on the left side of the Morava river." in wikidata. In the wikidata article it is expressed with property/ qualifier tributary orientation (P3871). In my opinion the use of tributary orientation (P3871) here is wrong. I want to have a new property to substitute the qualifier P3871 in this article.

Oppose, remodel P3871, and make that more general, for canals, railways etc., and expand the allowed values accordingly. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:42, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- P3871 is sometimes (more than 300 times) used as a property (Surprisingly for me) - example Alz (Q450584). That is one reason for me why P3871 should not be generalized. (But if you have a good idea, then let's talk about it.) The usage for the new property should be a property qualifier. Rio.Negro (talk) 20:28, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- About railways: Normally trains use them in both directions. The usage of left / right is not applicable in that case. I agree that it would be nice to have a property for railways, roads etc, but at the moment I have no idea how to do it. Rio.Negro (talk) 20:28, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I am under the feeling that located in or next to body of water (P206) itself is a poorly designed property. So I'm reluctant to add qualifiers to that property. Thierry Caro (talk) 18:47, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose P3871 needs to be very slightly remodelled and it will suit well for this purpose, won't it? --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 13:08, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
