Example

I don't think that havng a single exmaple that is open only one day per week is helpful; nor one at mixes 12- and 24- hour clocks. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:44, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

How do should a venue which opens at 9:00 on weekdays, 10:00 on Saturdays and 12:00 on Sundays be listed using this parameter? I can think of many museums etc which have these sort of opening hours. AlasdairW (talk) 12:55, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

I added another example. As to your second point, 13:00 and 1 PM are the same thing but in different notation, it's just a matter of fixing the label. NMaia (talk) 03:18, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

How to map 24/7 opening times?

Not sure how to map 24/7. I have now used open days (P3025) = all days of the week (Q26214163) with opening time (P8626) = 00:00 and closing time (P8627) = 24:00, but maybe there is a better way. We should at least add an example for this. - WouterKo (talk) 20:03, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
