Planned use	for military positions

Motivation

I would like to indicate on the items for military positions to which position the subject position reports to. It could also be used for positions that are not military (in a government for example). It would allow to see the hierarchy of the positions. Amqui (talk) 15:55, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Comment Is this covered by supervised by (P7604)? ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

• Not in its current form since it is restricted to "persons" (either real or fictional) while I want to use it for "positions". Maybe we could broaden the scope of supervised by (P7604). Amqui (talk) 17:05, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Ah, got it. I do think it would make sense to expand the scope of P7604. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
