Position held

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Can please anybody give an example how to use the constraint 'Position held'? In Case I try to add something caused by potential issue 'value requires statement constraint' (compare Q470380) I immediately get potential issue 'allowed qualifiers constraint' denying 'Position held' as a valid qualifier.

Could appointed by (P748) and nominated by (P4353) be added to the allowed qualifiers constraint (Q21510851) list for this property? Alt0160 (talk) 01:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

legislative term (P2937), position held (P39), member of cabinet (P5054) could be useful as well. Alt0160 (talk) 16:43, 26 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Use of office held by the head of government^(P1313) and position holder^(P1308)

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

For items that have office held by the head of government (P1313), I'm wondering if we shouldn't be using P1308 instead. --- Jura 10:14, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
