Hello folks, The new Wikidata EntitySchema datatype is now enabled đ đ
As a result, the open property proposal at Wikidata:Property_proposal/Pending#Shape_Expression_for_class <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Pending#Shape_Expression_for_class> can now be created. If you have any issues, questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to reach out to us on [[Wikidata talk:Schemas]] <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Schemas>.
