Difference to mouth of the watercourse (P403)
editCan someone explain me in which sense this property differs from mouth of the watercourse (P403)? --Pasleim (talk) 19:28, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- @Pasleim:: it is the opposite ! :). --Zolo (talk) 07:15, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Inverse
editThere should probably be a "Tributary of" property also. (A river would be a tributary of only 1 other water body, except in very exceptional circumstances.) --Closeapple (talk) 08:31, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Considering this and the previous section, I've proposed aliases at Property talk:P403#Relationship to tributary, to add "tributary of", "flows into", and "water mouth is on" to mouth of the watercourse (P403). Anyone with objections can comment there. --Closeapple (talk) 23:19, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
What the difference with this property? Infovarius (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- tributary (P974) is for rivers flowing into another river, inflows (P200) is for rivers flowing into a lake or sea. --Pasleim (talk) 21:34, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Use for veins in anatomy
editOBO defines tributary_of as:
"X tributary_of y if and only if x a channel for the flow of a substance into y, where y is larger than x. If x and y are hydrographic features, then y is the main stem of a river, or a lake or bay, but not the sea or ocean. If x and y are anatomical, then y is a vein."
Can this property be defined that way so that it's also useable for veins?

- I don't see the benefits of mixing the two. Same English word, but they don't really interconnect.

P4614 (drainage basin) constraint
editI'm deleting this constraint, since it doesn't seem very relevant: you shouldn't need to know about a river's drainage basin (and create an item for it) before you can name its mouth or tributary. It has 10859 violations. Ghouston (talk) 06:10, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Allowed qualifiers
editwd:P3871 tributary orientation 462 wd:P560 direction 74 wd:P2148 distance from river mouth 29 wd:P625 coordinate location 24 wd:P276 location 14 wd:P131 located in the administrative territorial entity 10 wd:P2044 elevation above sea level 3 wd:P200 inflows 11
Currently, there is no constraint. Above the ones that are used three and more times.
- P560 should probably be replaced with P3871.
- P276, P625, P131, P2044 might be sufficient on the mouth of watercourse statement of the tributary.
Haven't looked into P200. --- Jura 08:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Suggested qualifiers: tributary orientation and distance from river mouth
editI removed tributary orientation and distance from river mouth required constraints... it's just going to cause warnings on every river page. Less than 1% of tributaries have those listed, I don't see how it can be made "required". OBender12 (talk) 12:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- I think they should be present on any river. Don't you? I can't really think why they should be missing. Given the level of completeness, I don't think they should be mandatory for now, accordingly I set them as required qualifiers with constraint status "suggested constraint". Note that this question is different from the question above about which qualifiers should be allowed (obviously, these two should be, but maybe also some of the others). --- Jura 17:56, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
use on oceans
editThere were 601 statements on Atlantic Ocean (Q97). See discussion at Wikidata:Project_chat#Q97_is_unusable_now. --- Jura 12:29, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
