Checking Constraints

As of 8 May 2024, there is no way to show constraint violations on lgbtDB itself. However, there are other methods for finding elements that violate constraints that are in place. Note that these are currently experimental and may not function as intended.

ShEx2 Checker

While not ideal, other Wikibase.Cloud users have had success with the ShEx2 checker and entity schemas (for an example, see here). However, this has not yet been tried on lgbtDB and requires creating a significant number of entity schemas.

Wikidata Constraints Violation Checker

There is a tool available on GitHub called the Wikidata Constraints Violation Checker. It is possible that it may be repurposed to use on lgbtDB.

WikibaseQualityConstraints Extension

Wikidata uses the extension WikibaseQualityConstraints for its internal checking. While this would be the ideal solution, it has not yet been implemented by Wikibase.Cloud and there are no plans to implement it. If this changes, however, it will be noted here.
