[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T210692: WDQS should not add (...) to VALUES

[Yurik]

Yurik created this task. Yurik added a project: Wikidata-Query-Service. Restricted Application added a subscriber: Aklapper. Restricted Application added a project: Wikidata.

TASK DESCRIPTION

In WDQS, pressing the diamond autoformats this:

SELECT * WHERE {
  VALUES ?a { wd:Q1 wd:Q2 }
}

into this:

SELECT * WHERE {
  VALUES (?a) {
    (wd:Q1)
    (wd:Q2)
  }
}

I think the extra parentesis produce more harm than good. Most of the time, VALUES is a relatively short single-value list, not a list of lists, so making it one item per line creates unnecessary hindrance to understanding and maintaining the query code. Thanks!
