federated item labels and description use

Hi User:Andreas Kettelhoit (WMSE) - I saw you edited my Wikispore entry and I agree full capitalization of name was not needed and adding instance of property is likely needed as minimum, but I did not agree on the description change (especially as I am active participant in it)... Your description was more like informal remark - I can imagine that is also valid approach if metabase is only going to serve few people who are insiders and share internal agreement, but I thought you want other people to adopt it for their own uses and ideally contribute - No? --Zblace (talk) 07:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Zblace, and thank you for your message!

We at Wikimedia Sverige absolutely want as many people as possible to use MetaBase to describe their projects, events and documents using structured data. And we really appreciate that you started editing MetaBase.

Regarding item descriptions, I personally think that they should be descriptive instead of explanatory, which is the reason I changed it for Wikispore (Q25169). But the main reason for my change is that items that have same as on Wikidata (P1) should have a description similar to the one on Wikidata ‒ to avoid confusion.

If you have thoughts, questions or ideas regarding MetaBase, do not hesitate to get in touch via the appropriate talk page. Happy editing! -- Andreas Kettelhoit (WMSE) (talk) 08:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
