We could track descriptions as:
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

separate "description" usage. Needs separate handling in several places.
That.
Tracking it as other usage causes a lot of purges, tracking it with label usage also means we need to do way more purges than needed (especially given that labels tend to be used *a lot* (we have a lot of cases with over 10k inclusions)).
Sadly we didn't really decide anything… I still think we should chose the fine-grained strategy and track them separately.
@Lydia_Pintscher this is actually relevant to the issue of description being (or no longer being) shown by the mobile app. @CKoerner_WMF emailed us about that, remember?
I talked with Lydia about this today and I'm being bold here: We concluded that we want a new usage aspect for descriptions, especially in the face of T173144: Tracking implicit (extensions) usages of Wikidata.
