I propose to display set humanization as a list rather than as a single text with a bunch of and/or in it.

All of these
* 2020
* Approximately 2021
* January 2022

One of these
* 2020
* Approximately 2021
* January 2022

@mzeinstra sounds good?

mzeinstra commented 3 years ago

I can also see these working:

All of 2020, Approximately 2021, and January 2022 One of 2020, Approximately 2021, or January 2022

Both work for me. Prefer if we can keep it as one continuous line. I think that matches the current Wikidata style.

JeroenDeDauw commented 3 years ago

Can do that. I'm wondering how readable that ends up being when there are more than 3 dates, or when the dates are less "simple".

mzeinstra commented 3 years ago

I agree with you. However I have not seen a datatype on Wikidata that is much longer than 3 lines.

I expect it will be a simple change to go for a line to a list. I'll leave it up to you to make a choice what's fits better in the ecosystem.

Excellent way to make a decision on this.
