A few points:
* Population should not be negative, would be nice if you can define a
min or max value in the property
* it's possible to enter 42.23
* if entering 23,42 the result is only 23
* if I try to enter twenty three there is no hint that only numbers
are accepted
* someone should try to
As far as I know this is done by bots and not by the wikibase extension.
Am I right with that?

We have this for some properties already:
You are correct.

It is either obvious that they should be entering only integers or positive
numbers, in which case such feedback isn't helpful, or it might end up
being too restrictive again. Who tells me that a system like this won't get
used in order to force cities to have a population of an integer bigger
I don't want to feel like //John Connor... hunted by a bot that comes
after my edits and reverts them only because I entered 123.45 for a
property that should be an integer.

So instead better to limit your freedom to express yourself in the first

I'd take the bot. At least in the history of the article it is recorded
that it was tried to enter 123.45 for a population, and we can later figure
out what was happening.
Why not wait and see if this is really a
Is it limiting your freedom, if a little popup comes up and tells you

123.45 press save, but the bots will come and revert your edit
Like a speed limit that is not limiting your freedom to speed, but maybe
it reminds you to the
