Lewis johnflewi...@gmail.com --- After Lydia pointed me to this, I agree that it is a sensible feature to be concluded while not urgent. It is definitely worth considering to making the Property namespace more manageable rather than having properties scattered around being deleted due to an accidental data type. As Denny said it can be solved by re-creating and deleting but really changing the original datatype would be much more user-friendly and would allow everyone with the ability to create properties solve accidental datatype assignments. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

This is a feature request for a sensible feature. I do not think it is urgent: don't forget that you can rename properties. This can resolve many of the issues that would be wanted otherwise. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 43643] impossible to change the data type of a property
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43643 --- Comment #5 from Gloumouth1 gloumou...@gmail.com --- Consider this use case: 1) Create two items Q1 and Q2 2) Create a property Pa with Monolingual text as data type 3) Create a property Pb with Item as data type 4) Instanciate Pa for Q1 with Foo as text 5) Instanciate Pb for Q1 with Q2 as linked item 6) Delete Q1 and Q2 7) Undelete Q1 -- The instance of Pa will be undeleted as well with the Foo as text, but the instance of Pb cannot be undeleted because Q2 does not exist anymore. So I think that the worms that you speak about already exist... I just say that: 1) when you just created a property 2 seconds ago, you can modify every thing, except the data type, which is quite disturbing for the user. 2) when an undelete is demanded, yes, some checks are needed, but it is already the case, before my code modification request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43643 jeb...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jeb...@gmail.com --- Comment #4 from jeb...@gmail.com --- It can be coded so it can be changed if no items use it yet, but that would open a can of worms. Just imagine all items using a specific property is deleted, the property is then changed - including its type, and then the items undeleted. The easy solution is to follow a usecase where you always make the type of the property read-only. I would say close this as a wontfix, as this is the correct behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
