  I think it would be meaningful to review the role of "magic properties" for 
independent Wikibase deployments. For instance, using them for asynchronous 
format validation via bots (like the constraints) is probably useful for the 
scale Wikidata, on smaller instances you'd rather want to use Shape Expressions 
in real time during data input. Formatter URLs are fine if your main way of 
using Wikibase data is browsing the Wikibase editing interface (having 
clickable links there is nice), but how they are represented in RDF and 
therefore the query service remains undefined.
  
  So while magic properties have a clear benefit in Wikidata, and the community 
can develop specific tools on top of them, extending this practice to 
distributed Wikibases seems not ideal, and I would be hesitant to promote their 
usage or creating more tools that rely on bots reading them.
  
  For instance w/r/t the formatter URLs, it would make more sense to create a 
data type such as "prefixed URL" that then provides simplified editing methods.
