•  Question in the English label, should we include "(literature)" in the label to differentiate this from "epigraphs" (ancient inscriptions) using inscription (P1684) ? --- Jura 08:15, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

  Seems a good idea.  Done. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 14:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC).

•  Support, very necessary property.--Arbnos (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
• Double checking: is this really meant to be created as a string datatype? I would expect monolingual text given the examples. Marking as not ready. − Pintoch (talk) 13:20, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

  Ok, I moved it to "monolingual text". Nomen ad hoc (talk) 13:38, 7 August 2019 (UTC).
