As a Wikibase editor, I want to find out more details about the local and remote properties available in the Wikibase so I know how to use them to make statements (e.g. by viewing scope, constraint definitions, usage examples).
**Current State (Federation Not Enabled)**
Currently, users can accomplish this by accessing Special:ListProperties to browse through properties in their local Wikibase.
**Current State (Federation v1 Enabled)**
In the federated properties MVP, we decided to point users to the corresponding Special:ListProperties on the federation source wiki. Navigating to Special:ListProperties displays the following intermediate screen.
{F34589337}
**Open Questions:****Decisions Made:**
- Should the- The lists of available local and remote properties should be kept separate (e.ge. by displaying the same message from Federation v1 above the local property list)?
- Should the lists of available local and remote properties be somehow combined into a single list?
- Technical constraints?
- If combined,When users access their local Special:ListProperties page, they will see the standard local properties list with an additional message that informs them Federated Properties are enabled and a list can be viewed on the source Wiki. how do users discern the source of each property?
- Should we make some other attempt to display the remote list of properties within the local Wikibase?
- Technical constraints?
- How do we deal with unsupported properties (properties from a remote wiki with a datatype that is not supported in the local Wikibase, e.g. musical notation)? See T252012The UI text string that is displayed should be the same as in Federation v1 (as shown in the above screenshot).
