@ChristianKl I don't see how this adds a manual step. The manual step was always there.
Old situation: A (essentially) random type is pre-selected in Special:NewProperty. The admin who creates the property has to check the selected type, and change it if appropriate. If they click "create" too soon (or accidentally hit enter), the property will be created with the wrong type.
New situation: No type is pre-selected. The admin who creates the property has to explicitly select a type. If they click "create" too soon (or accidentally hit enter), nothing happens.
I don't see how the old situation is better than the new one.
PS: IMHO, an admin should always think about what they are doing. Encouraging consideration is not a bad thing. If we don't trust admins to respect consensus, they should not be admins. But even if admins were prone to randomly ignore community consensus, the new behavior would still be better, since it avoids unintended actions.
