Please instead support the proposal for a single LUX identifier property: Wikidata:Property_proposal/Yale_LUX_ID rather than embedding the class name into the property. This would require properties for each of physical object, digital object, image, text, audio, person, group, place, set, concept, and activity. Azaroth42 (talk) 16:37, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
