SchlurcherBot adding "instance of photograph" when already an instance of a subclass

[edit]

Hi, I don't know if I may be doing something wrong since I know just enough about the Structured Data and Wikidata to be dangerous. I uploaded File:Anton the Bearded Dragon, Capen Hill Nature Sanctuary 2025-11-22.jpg and added the Structured Data instance of (P31)digital color photograph (Q91794765). But then, while adding many other useful properties, the bot added instance of (P31)photograph (Q125191), so now there are two "instance of" statements where one is a subclass of another. It may be that I shouldn't be adding my own instance of statements at all and just let the bot do it, but I thought I'd let you know in case the bot shouldn't be adding photograph if the file already is an instance of a subclass of photograph (and maybe also if it's already an instance of something else in general). Thanks for taking a look, and I'd appreciate guidance if I'm doing something wrong. — PeterCooperJr (talk) 14:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know. Your assessment is correct. The bot should not have done that. I'll have a look. --Schlurcher (talk) 21:22, 24 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
