Local template problems with your changes

this change - and similar broke down template working in ruwiki. Maybe, if you need url property for some reasons, you should duplicate the value for new one property, but not to remove old one? Def2010 (talk) 10:17, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

You should change the template then, check the constraints (and then probably modify all the statements using this incorrect property or allow both properties in your infobox). reference URL (P854) is for sources only and cannot be used as a qualifier, the proper qualifier is URL (P2699). I don't need this anywhere, I'm just correcting constraint violations.

The template is protected and there are not too much volunteers that has time to correct it accordingly wikidata changes due to it's complexity. Another one for NFPA 704 has not been updated for some years, despite my repeated requests, only recently one man had fixed it. But the template has an important feature - it is just working if the property is consistent, so I will have to duplicate to ensure it will continue to do so.

What I'm saying is that sooner or later these incorrect qualifiers will be fixed, with a prior notification or without it (as it is just correcting incorrect statements – not changing the whole model – I don't think it is an obligation to inform anyone outside WD). I can refrain from correcting these particular issues, but other users may want to fix these statements either manually or (semi-)automatically in the future.
