Motivation

I wanted to find a more generic modifier for Wikidata:Property_proposal/Creative_work#Stardate. That one might be useful for other things too Shisma (talk) 19:41, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Discussion

 Support this looks like a good generalization of Wikidata:Property proposal/Stardate, useful in many other contexts. But now I wonder, are we sure we don't have this already? It looks so fundamental! − Pintoch (talk) 11:00, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

 Support we have a lot of specific properties like this (like race time (P2781), and duration (P2047) is pretty general) but I don't think there's anything that quite matches the meaning of this among existing properties. I lowercased the name; I think this name is ok, but would "elapsed time" be a suitable alias? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:34, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

 Comment I added one example from the withdrawn Stardate proposal --Shisma (talk) 19:24, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
