[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T105623: [Task] Investigate quantification of quantity precision (+/- 1 or +/- 0.5)

2016-06-13 Thread Srittau
Srittau added a comment.As someone who mainly enters exact integers, this is one of the most infuriating bugs. I always have to go back and correct the precision after the fact. There are also many, many numbers in Wikidata statements with the very obviously wrong precision +-1. At this point, this precision guessing is probably the number one cause for wrong data. Also, it is probably the most asked question in the various forums on Wikidata.

And while I understand the technical reasoning, from a user's point of view, the current behaviour is simply completely bonkers, at least for integers.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105623EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: SrittauCc: Srittau, Edgars2007, Yellowcard, Jonas, JanZerebecki, harej-NIOSH, Thryduulf, Mike_Peel, Jc3s5h, thiemowmde, kaldari, daniel, Stryn, Lydia_Pintscher, Liuxinyu970226, Snipre, Event, Ash_Crow, mgrabovsky, Micru, Denny, He7d3r, Bene, Wikidata-bugs, Ricordisamoa, Kelson, MSGJ, Wolfvoll, Aklapper, D3r1ck01, Izno, aude, Mbch331
