I would also like that, for convenience. But conceptually, Wikipedia pages are things in the world, and are "real" in that sense. So if we don't want to introduce a nasty hack into the data model, you'd have to do this by saying "exclude everything that is an instance of MediaWiki page (Q15474042)". That's a rather expensive operation... Can you think of a way to do this nicely, that doesn't need special case hacks in the software? -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
