Topic on User talk:Teolemon

Hi, I see you're adding P1416 to university items. I had earlier used its superproperty P361 for that purpose and so some of these university items now contain duplicate information. For instance, Q1755318 now has both Part Of and Affiliation properties linking to Q10814056. Is there a discussion somewhere about the best way to link universities with their parent and child organizations?

I've found: Wikidata talk:WikiProject Education

Wikidata:WikiProject Universities/Recommended statements#Relations to other institutions

As explained in Wikidata:Edit_groups/harvesttemplates/8da58c7314b2 I would rather use member of (P463)

Affiliation means something specific for academia in some parts of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliated_school

I have seen infoboxes for Indian colleges being affiliated with a more prestigious university. So it has a specific meaning in the anglo-saxon world.

But in France, that is probably something that should be in an other field. We should indeed remove the French part.

I broke my arm yesterday, so the one finger answer is short. I will try to address that asa i get my second hand back.

I collected from enwiki to be clear, from the affiliation field.
