There are 3 properties used for this type: instance of (P31), occupation (P106) and subject has role (P2868). Which is right? --Infovarius (talk) 13:23, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
- This item's denotation is somehow swinging between character type and occupation (which is also reflected in different descriptions). In both cases P31 is not a good idea (if it should refer to a character type P2868 should be used, if it refers to an occupation P106).
- Based on the status quo of this item (P31/P279-statements and on what kind of items this is used as a value) I rather lean towards subject has role (P2868): In difference to assistant (Q23835475) or criminal (Q2159907) henchperson (Q247297) is not only used to refer to an occupation, but also to express that this character (I don't see uses on humans) is on the bad guy's side, so its use is tied to the narrative role of the character (similar to sidekick, the helper and companion of the good guy). - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 15:11, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
