Problematic properties

Please put properties here that have constraint errors, do not have examples, are not constrained to types, you're are not sure how they are exactly used, etc.

Property	Explanation	Documentation	Issuer
SCN (P377)	Values for "formatter URL", "URL match pattern", and "search formatter URL" go to an ad-ridden website (n2yo.com) with outdated user-experience. Please consider changing to www.satcat.com - full suggstion here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P377 under the post "Please change N2YO to Satcat.com" Thank you
start period (P3415)	There are missing examples, property constraints, no type constraint, insufficient explained difference between it and start time (P580)		Lectrician1 (talk) 04:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
of (P642)	Highly flexible property. Now in state of depreciation but working on alternatives.	Wikidata:WikiProject Deprecate P642 User:Lucas Werkmeister/P642 considered harmful	Lectrician1 (talk) 04:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
together with (P1706)	No property examples. An alternative data model that does not require this weird qualifier should probably be proposed.		Lectrician1 (talk) 04:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
including (P1012)	Lacks property examples. Alternative data models should be proposed so that this qualifier is not needed and data is interpretable.		Lectrician1 (talk) 04:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
sourcing circumstances (P1480)	Qualifiers/usage is conflated. Used for multiple purposes and definition of relationship is not clear		Lectrician1 (talk) 16:58, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
described by source (P1343)	What is a source? Is the value only related to texts? Is it different than depicts (P180)? If different, should we have a superproperty for both called "conveys"?	Telegram discussion	Lectrician1 (talk) 16:58, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
honorific prefix (P511)	This property should accept Lexemes as values but right now it accepts items. We would need to create a new property because at the time right now switching property datatypes is impossible.	Telegram discussion	Lectrician1 (talk) 01:15, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
