    What should happen if an existing type could be more specific?

    1. So, if a Team type exists, and I'd like to create a Baseball Team Type, it'd be nice to have a link here to a Help topic explaining the best process for doing that.

      For reference, see http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/03/26/like-a-moth-to-the-freebase-flame/#comment-2451

      A few comments after my post, dehfne mentions one Type can include another, I'm not sure how to do that (perhaps it's an obvious part of the "Create a new Type workflow", but since I haven't yet jumped into that pond I don't know that yet).

      1. You can include Team type in your Baseball Team Type by editing Baseball Team in the Schema Editor (choose Edit Type from the menu to get there):

        Look under the name of the type at the top of the page to add "Included types". You should see instructions in gray that says, "add a parent type to include the properties of another type in all Baseball team topics." Double click on that and enter "Team", which should autocomplete. Hit enter and all the properties of Team should show up.

      2. It turns out I wasn't able to follow this suggestion, I filed this ticket: http://www.freebase.com/view?id=%239202a8c04000641f800000000454e729

        I'm used to using bugzilla, in bugzilla that ticket would get an "assigned" status once someone looked at it, is there anything analogous for freebase tickets?
