Description
The need, motivation, and proposed details are described at Wikifunctions:Type_proposals/Wikidata_based_types. This work should take into account the discussions on that page.
This ticket is for defining the type and its associated Wikifunctions such as equality (not for type-specific code changes in Wikifunctions).
- Define the type
- Define equality function
- Decide on type-converter strategy (default conversion, specialized hardcoded conversion, custom converters)
- Implement converters to & from Python and JavaScript (if needed)
The validator, renderer, and parser functions are out of scope for this ticket. Implementation of the equality function has been removed from this ticket; it makes more sense to do that during Q2, after more work has been done on Wikidata statement retrieval.
