Problem: Wikibase lets users write free text as a value for the "Musical Notation" data type. When a syntax error is introduced, the value is accepted and saved and the following message appears.
Syntax errors should be prevented or, if that's not possible/convenient, listed on some page to easily access and fix them.
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T198233 Allow musical notation to be expressed in Wikidata, with rendering and maybe playback | |||
| Open | None | T218477 Prevent (or list) musical notation with syntax errors |
For comparison: the mathematical notation datatype does prevent saving invalid edits (though the text input stays disabled, so it’s not a recoverable error because you can’t edit your input anymore to correct it, but that’s another issue):
