Hello all, In March <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2019/03#Suggestions_based_on_constraints:_next_step>, we told you that we want to make the beta feature providing suggestions based on constraints to all users. Some of you gave us feedback and pinged us about unresolved issues (thank you for that!). These issues are now solved:
- the order of suggestions in the case of a property having a one-of constraint now matches exactly the order of the constraint (phab:T220587 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220587>) - the results appearing in the drop-down menus are now links: you can open them in another tab (phab:T207363 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T207363>) We're now ready to enable the suggestions based on constraints for all users (including non-logged-in users). It will take place next week, on April 24th. The beta feature will still be available during a few days (in case something goes wrong and the deployment train is rollbacked, for example), but if everything works well and no major issue is reported, we will disable the beta feature one week after the deployment. You can see more information about the feature on the documentation page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Property_constraints_portal/Entity_suggestions_from_constraint_definitions>. Please note that the feature is not preventing users to add any item they want as a value, you can still type in and choose the item you want, but it is making more useful suggestions, based on criteria defined by the community with the constraints, and hopefully reducing the number of mistakes and improving the user experience when adding new statements. If you have any question or issue, feel free to write me. Cheers, -- Léa Lacroix Project Manager Community Communication for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
