"Community" :) - I'm pretty sure I did all but one of the mappings. > is leading the template mapping > race with 82.98% of template occurrences mapped. This means that the > Polish-language will contain the highest percentage of typed entities. I think the actual number of properties mapped is a little higher. A number of properties, for whatever reason, did not seem to turn up in the statistics, but were present in the sample extraction. I didn't think much of it, because it didn't seem to be happening with English or Catalan, but I saw it again afterwards (I'm not sure if it was Irish or Italian). > The Greek-language community has mapped the highest percentage of templates > in one language (44.93%), but those templates do not seem to be necessarily > the most commonly occurring ones.
