We're figuring out the use of ranking, it's cool but imho it would be great if the results of the discussions are injected back directly into the Wibibase data model. If we give cleat labelling to ranks and the two or three use case that are identified are clearly labelled as such this could be great for usability and would not look like a bit of black magic recepies to the newcomer.
Something I would avoid is "If you label this as normal this will be shown is the query data result but not in the infoboxes who will show the results only with preferred ranks with two sources". So maybe we could encode some rules on Wikibase itself, such as "no claim can be ranked as preferred if they are properly sourced", which could display a useful error message to the user if he tries that out, or a tip to why the option is deactivated ? 2013/12/11 Lydia Pintscher <lydia.pintsc...@wikimedia.de> > On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 1:58 PM, Lukas Benedix > <bene...@zedat.fu-berlin.de> wrote: > > A few notes on usability: > > > > First: the load time is extremely bad right now!
