Motivation

French :

Bonjour,

je n'ai pas trouvé de propriété permettant d'indiquer le tirage d'un ouvrage (principalement le tirage initial), je pense que cette propriété serait utile à l'avenir également pour les infobox concernant la littérature générale Template:Infobox book (Q5858283).

English :

Hello, I haven't fond any property allowing us to indicate the print run of a book or other publication (especially the iunitial print run), and I think this property might be useful also for infoboxes about general literature Template:Infobox book (Q5858283).

 Support We already have quantity (P1114), but special property is better. Consider to name it "number of copies".--Jklamo (talk) 12:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Books has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead.

@PhiJai: I would like the description to not simply use the same words as the label and explain the concept in a sentence. ChristianKl (talk) 12:29, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

 Comment how do we know if the quantity is the initial print run or the grand total? − Pintoch (talk) 08:06, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

 Support Amended the proposition to make clear the statements can be qualified with points in time. Also see Help:Ranking to know how to handle quantities that change over time, only the most recent value has « preferred » ranking. Extract the initial print run by the oldest « normal rank » value, or maybe by checking the creation date / relevant key event date . author  TomT0m / talk page 21:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Done please make good use of it. @PhiJai, TomT0m, Jklamo:
