Motivación[edit]
Avoid confusion with topic's main category (P910). --Tinker Bell ★ ♥ 18:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
- Why not use related category (P7084)?--GZWDer (talk) 08:08, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- This feels like a shortcut property that probably is not needed? It's just software, correct? So, I think genre (P136) is more than adequate to handle this. And also supply a copyright license (P275) to Items. Then querying can easily pick up those Items in multiple genres under some software license. (Just ensure to add multiple genres or subclasses to an Item as necessary?) --Thadguidry (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Support, an important property for categorization.--Arbnos (talk) 18:24, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
