   Thanks, that's really helpful to read! The page is still in a very early stage. You are right, the current object section is just confusing, we will remove it. Maybe a better start to understand what Wikifunctions does - but it is a ve

    That would be a bug and should not be the case. I just tried it and couldn't replicate it. There is no difference between 7-7-2000 and 07-07-2000 in xsd, and neither in the SPARQL query endpoint. Here are the people in Wikidata born on
