Hi Thiemo, Thanks for the background information. I agree with these default choices -- seems useful. Just two comments: There may be an option to enter the precision as a number, if requested, but I don't think this is necessary at this point. I think the point is simply that it is not

Hi Markus, (1a) Wikibase will continue to support arbitrary precision values for coordinates, and the UI will be extended so people can actually enter them. (1b) Wikibase will restrict the set of supported precision values for coordinates to those already supported in the UI. Other values are

Hi! Which of the following statements are most accurate given the technical roadmap of Wikibase? (1a) Wikibase will continue to support arbitrary precision values for coordinates, and the UI will be extended so people can actually enter them. (1b) Wikibase will restrict the set of
