@Lydia_Pintscher Should we just have default wikibases to have the validation turned off? (See TBA in description)

Intuitively I'd say we want checks there as well. What would be the implications? Why would you turn it off?

My only thought is they may not want to define things with units of globes based on Wikidata entities.
I could of course be wrong.
Or to be able to use units or globes not defined on Wikidata (more likely)

Yes. What I was thinking is that we don't make the check configurable but always allow Wikidata and the local instance.

Sounds like a good solution!

@Lydia_Pintscher Updated the description.
Does the stuff about whitelists look good?
I guess we don't want a whitelist for these units?

That looks good to me yeah :)

@Arian_Bozorg this doesn’t feel like a tech task to us, do you want to prioritize it via product?

(I think the task description is a bit outdated – we can check in story writing – but there’s still some validation that should be done; in particular, we might want to restrict the calendar models to the two “well-known” ones rather than allowing any item.)

Yes of course, sorry I added the wrong tag
