in short: mountain (Q8502) is a subclass (P279) of landform (Q271669). Querying for mountains thus should result in a subset of the corresponding query for all landforms (as any mountain also is a landform). This is not the case.
caveat: the behaviour is not reproducible over long time spans, as after some days things seem to get synchronized again. But the time span is far beyond anything that could be explained by replication lags, different caching servers with non-sync caches, etc.
Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
What happens?:
- the first query lists Östliche Praxmarerkarspitze (Q67083874), while the second doesn't. The second is correct, as Q67083874 has P131 assigned (which is the main selection in the query above).
- I did not manage to make queries more simple without losing the incriminated behaviour or getting timeouts, sorry.
What should have happened instead?:
the second result set should be a subset of the first result set. Or, a warning or an error message should be displayed in case of some internally recognized bad intermediate state in the processing of the query (e.g. timeouts for single steps in the algorithm).
as an overall consequence:
- you cannot trust in the results of wikidata queries in general.
