Values in use

Since the covi pages don’t properly evaluate qualifiers, I’d like to provide a query that allows to get an overview of the value items of version type (P548) qualifiers:

# values used with P548 (version type) qualifiers of P348 (software version) claims
SELECT ?value ?valueLabel (COUNT(?value) AS ?cnt) WHERE {
  ?item ?prop [ pq:P548 ?value ] .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language 'en' }
} GROUP BY ?value ?valueLabel ORDER BY DESC(?cnt)

Try it!

Usage of P548 for to indicate the support of a release

WikiProject Informatics has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead.

Most of predefined values for version type (P548) use software version type in the sense of pre-release vs. release (query for those values). But Q2804309 (stable version) and Q21683863 (obsolete version) suggest that the qualifier is meant to indicate whether a version is still supported or not.

Suggested Solution: Change stable version (Q2804309) and obsolete version (Q21683863) so that P548 is only used for the version type (as in prerelease vs. release) and use a different property such as discontinued date (P2669) to indicate whether a version is still supported or not. --Konstin (talk) 15:27, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

 Support I agree with Konstin. Also beta-versions become obsolete when there's a new (beta) version. So we should not mix the type of the release (alpha, beta, rc, stable) with the current status of the version. We have ranks to indicate which version is the newest and we can use discontinued date (P2669) for details. This is also not only how it's done with most items on software but also how it's done in most other areas: Don't delete or change a statement once it becomes outdated but change it's rank and set an end-date. The amount of items which have several stable versions at a time is small, so it's reasonable to add P2669 for those cases. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 19:48, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

This is an illustration that it’s hard to put a lot of information as qualifiers of statement for versions : you start conflating informations about the statement with informations about the version. Things would be more easy to deal with with proper items for the versions ( in a spirit similar to has edition or translation (P747) and edition or translation of (P629) for books). author  TomT0m / talk page 17:11, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

I've removed the "is supported" part the stable and obsolete version. --Konstin (talk) 12:12, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Allow the use as property

Why not using it as property for items that actually are software versions?--Malore (talk) 04:03, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Extension

I have started using this qualifier to disambiguate video game releases (see eg Q1166232#P1933) ; as such I have added as accepted values limited edition (Q6549529) & special edition (Q1341283). Let me know if that causes issues / you believe this is bad in general :-) Jean-Fred (talk) 22:04, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
