mainsnak date
[edit]What is a "mainsnak date"? This is in the English description, but "mainsnak" isn't an English word. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:10, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- The mainsnak is essentially the main part of the statement (the main property value pair). 'mainsnak' should probably not be translated into other languages. ·addshore· talk to me! 10:46, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
year 0
[edit]You may want to exclude dates with year 0 as it is being used to specify "unknown year" dates, and is frequently used for people for which day/month of birth is known but the year is not. See e.g. Himawari Ezuki (Q11492393). --Smalyshev (WMF) (talk) 01:15, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- Those should be fixed anyway, as this is very misleading. Converting to birthday (P3150) is the best option. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 08:19, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

What should I do?
[edit]Can someone explain me what should I do when I come across a qualifier assertion instance of (P31)statement with Gregorian date earlier than 1584 (Q26961029)? --Horcrux (talk) 16:18, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, I forgot to provide an example. --Horcrux (talk) 09:38, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Horcrux: In a nutshell, that the Gregorian calendar did not exist before that year, and so none of these dates really can make any sense.
- The thinking back when these statements were added was that the community could then use the links and slowly figure out what the state was and should be?
- They possibly all just need converting to Julian calendar? But that probably also depends on the source etc, and this probably all needs to be looked at on a case by case basis.
