Motivation[edit]

Depending on the outcome of Property_talk:P396#Discussion_about_replacing_values_with_a_new_format_or_scheme and similar discussions, we may want to provide a way to versionize property definitions to ensure users can retrieve previous ones. The presence of the property may also allow to determine that they have changed. (Add your motivation for this property here.) --- Jura 12:52, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
