Workplaces

@RexxS: Yes, it does. The Institute of Field Ornithology and Wolfson College are both component parts of the University of Oxford. We should display either the former two or the latter one, but mixing those is not helpful. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:09, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree completely. I used the little pen icon to go straight to Wikidata and changed "University of Oxford" to "Wolfson College" there. Do you find that better now? It has the added benefit that other users of Wikidata now have two commensurate values in the same way that as en-wp has. I do feel it's valuable to the project as a whole to share improvements with other Wikis. --RexxS (talk) 15:23, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is better, but {{hlist}} would further improve the output. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:33, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's odd, because when I first worked on the code to deal with multiple values for a property, (return table.concat(out, ", ")), I intended to eventually update that to use an inline list, rather than just using comma separators, but you're the first person in almost four years to ask for that feature. It's certainly something I will implement, but the only question is whether to create a genuine list that visually appears to have comma separators, or to stick with the mid-dot that I used in the hlist class. I'd probably best ask for views at {{infobox person}}. --RexxS (talk) 03:37, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
