Motivation

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T235389

I would like to make a tool in toolforge that will allow a user to input an IP address and get the organization (Q43229) associated for that IP address. Unfortunately, you cannot query a range unless you have the start and end of that range. Based on the discussion in the previous proposal it seems best that a new datatype would be created for this property, one that extends from Quantity. Then organizations will be able to be queried by the IP address. U+1F360 (talk) 20:59, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

After the property is created, the old properties should be deprecated. Once all of the data has been migrated, the old properties can be removed. U+1F360 (talk) 21:03, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment if you want to make a tool anyway, then I suggest you do the indexing there. Looking at the Phabricator ticket, there is not a huge appetite for deploying a dedicated datatype for this. − Pintoch (talk) 18:58, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support I really don't see much need to replace IPv4 routing prefix (P3761) and IPv6 routing prefix (P3793) with a unified property. But if a unified datatype ever materializes, sure, why not? /ℇsquilo 15:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
