Why mandatory start time (P580) and end time (P582) qualifiers?

@MisterSynergy: Why should there be a mandatory start time (P580) and end time (P582) qualifiers? Many sources that provide information about the residence don't contain information about either and being able to capture residence information is very valuable for disambiguating people.

I only fixed a dysfunctional constraint due to this request, but I do not have an opinion on the matter. —MisterSynergy (talk) 13:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional families

I have added an exception to the gender constraint to remove the many false positives for fictional families. -- Discostu (talk) 10:46, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded family (Q8436) and fictional family (Q15331236) to group of humans (Q16334295) and group of fictional characters (Q14514600) in type constraint and exception to the gender constraint. But then I found that "exception to constraint" (P2303) applies to specific items and does not apply to a class. So I have removed "sex or gender" (P21) from "item-requires-statement constraint" (Q21503247). --Neo-Jay (talk) 05:15, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
