mirror image

[edit]

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic

   Not done
DescriptionMISSING
Representsmirror image (Q2703478)
Data typequalifier?-invalid datatype (not in Module:i18n/datatype)
Domainproperty
Example 1Q30171963 ("based on")-> designates a left-right mirror flip. This is common in engravings of artworks.
Example 2Most examples of Q179744 (daguerrotypes) are a mirror image compared to real life, so it might be useful here.
Example 3MISSING
Planned useQ110141639 is an obvious option
Expected completenessHard to predict. I'd imagine we can hope for some degree of completeness, but there's always the risk of lost artworks
Robot and gadget jobsProbably not.

Motivation

[edit]

Felt weird to find the source of an engraving, note it was a copy, but - as engravings often were - mirror flipped, and to have no way to note this. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
This seems like a Boolean property you are requesting? Generally I think that would be handled by something like has characteristic (P1552) mirror image (Q2703478). ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Perhaps as a qualifier to the based on (P144) statement. Jheald (talk) 11:47, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose: poorly thought out proposal: if it's only for 1 or 2 examples or or a handful of exceptions, that's not a reason to generate a new property. And on principle, NO property should be approved if the nominator can't even give one explicit example of intended usage on an existing item. -Animalparty (talk) 04:41, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
