Motivation edit

I had been maintaining category mainspace pages on WP recently and was wondering why they didn't have any property for topic's main category (P910) -> topic's subcategory type of statements in WD items? Therefore I've proposed it here to make WD more better. I hope it works, thankyou. Harsh Rathod Poke me! 13:59, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

Comment @Harshrathod50: it's not clear which direction you are proposing for this? All your examples suggest a "subcategory of" property, i.e. a statement on the subcategory that points to its parent. I would Support that - however the main body of the proposal seems to be looking for a link in the other direction? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:45, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input, I've resolved the confusion. Harsh Rathod Poke me! 04:34, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Pretty sure this has been rejected before. We're not duplicating local category structures here. --Yair rand (talk) 03:31, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yair rand: Interesting, so why not mention that property which was previously proposed that resembles this one? Can I know why we can't duplicate category structures here on WD? Is there any discussion about this too? Harsh Rathod Poke me! 20:31, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, we shouldn't duplicate the graph of categories and subcategories should be linked from more specific Wikidata entities when they exist. But thanks for your proposal! --abi án 08:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
