As an editor I want to surface usage instructions for certain Properties to other editors in order to ensure good data modelling and the right use of these Properties.
Problem:
It's becoming more and more common on Wikidata for the description field to be overloaded with instructions about how to use a Wikidata item within claims. The instructions are not appropriate for the description field and end up causing confusion when the descriptions are displayed outside the context of Wikidata (for example, in Wikipedia App search results).
Example:
male - to be used in "sex or gender" (P21) to indicate that the human subject is a male or "semantic gender" (P10339) to indicate that a word refers to a male person
fictional character - fictional person in a narrative work of arts (for human fictional character use Q15632617)
Additional info:
- A Property exists that we should surface to editors when adding statements: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2559
- We could also additionally expose P1855 (Property example) to help people use the Property in the right way
