Bug / Feature Request

I just discovered a couple of cases where the Album Contributions property on Musical Artist has duplicate links to the same album. Bob Dylan www.metaweb.com/metaweb/combinedView.html?id=/wikipedia/en_id/3345 David Rawlings www.metaweb.com/metaweb/combinedView...

For the first paragraph in a text box (like this one) hitting return at the end of the line inserts a return but keeps the cursor on the same line.Hitting return a second time will put the cursor on the next line, rather than two lines down. It's only when typing...

At least on my box (a laptop a couple of years old running Windows XP and Firefox 1.5.0.10), the various interfaces like view and filter often take a number of seconds to come up. It's very hard to tell when the app is actually done working, so I alternate between...

The query editor is too tall to fit without scrolling even when maximized on my 1400x1050 screen using normal browser settings. It should at least fit on a 1280x1024 screen, and it would be great if the layout were flexible enough to accommodate a variety of window...

Although key order doesn't make any difference to the API, you can see in the docs that changing key order can make the query clearer. Unfortunately, the query editor automatically sorts the keys in alphabetical order on submission. In addition to making the query more...

So that I can particpate actively in discussions, I'd like to be able to monitor three sorts of discussions:Ones I have commented in,Ones I on topics I have created or contributed to (like this one), andOnes that are interesting to me.I think the first two should be...

For types where I have no rights, the type editor still offers me the option to change things. Only when I try to change them will it tell me that I'm not allowed. This includes just trying to look at the options for enumerated types.Rather than offering me an option...

To enter this text, I have to click, "You can add it." For other data entry, I double-click on the grey italic text. This is inconsistent, and I often end up double-clicking on "There is no user-contributed description for [topicname]". It'd be better if double...

When filtering on a type (as when viewing the ticket list), the page titlebar should mention the locaiton in the same way the page header does. That makes it easier to tell which window or tab is which.

Viewing an invalid user gets a page that is blank except for a couple of images. For example:http://www.freebase.com/view/user?id=/user/sadfIt's not a big deal, as people shouldn't be hand-editing URLs, but it would be better if it there were some sort of "user not...

A problem with any large collaborative effort is knowing what is going on. Wikipedia has two features that help with that. I think both of these features are important for Freebase to implement early on, as they help draw people into involvement and then help keep them...

Desired outcome: an external http URL link. Actual outcome: an internal freebase URL link because of the "other" type Example: Good URL Example: Bad URL Additional information: to edit the bad URL, the editor must delete the text, unless he knows about the apparently...

For a topic with multiple types, it's hard to figure out how the topic gets a particular property. It'd be great if the pulldown next to the property said what type it was from, and had an option to view the type definition directly.

In using the query editor, it would be great to have multiple tabs so that I can have different queries going at the same time. I want this both when I'm trying to a mental stack push and when I want to compare the results from two different queries.I'd also like...

If I put in a query where I've forgotten a comma, the query editor says:"SyntaxError: missing } after property list"Since the query actually has the right number of braces, a better message would be, "comma missing between properties". It would be even better if it...

In the documentation, most of the examples are of the form:[{ "id|=":["/type/type", "/type/property", "/type/key"], "id":null, "/type/type/properties":[] }]But to make them work in the query editor, you need to enter:{ "query":[{ "/type/type/properties":[], ...

If running a query causes some sort of internal error, the page title changes to indicate an error, but the interface otherwise looks like it is stuck running a query.Sorry I can't give more info on this, but it happened to me when the sandbox went down briefly; by the...

thumbnails for png image uploads seem to fail to generate. See Watt steam engine for example. I see only a little white rectangle, but the full image displays fine.

I see a few issues with the topic history screen:History doesn't show document changesIf you take a look at the history for this page, you should see several changes to this text, as I've edited in in a few passes, with changes to the other fields in between. However,...

In thinking about applications I'd like to build, I'd don't want to make people authenticate through my app. There's no reason for people to trust me with their pasword, and I'd rather not even know it, so that I can't possibly leak it.In the web links, I've included a...

The type "user profile" contains properties, such as birthday, which are also in "person", a property of "user profile". These properties are independent and can be different. They should be synchronized or removed from "user profile".

There's probably some way to do it with wildcard syntax, but there have already been a few times when I wanted to filter a list of topics in a given type by ones that had a given field set to a non-empty value.  (My motivation for this was to remove all values...

When editing a description, to add a link I highlight text and click the "link" icon.  Usually I end up having to immediately retype the text I just selected into the metaweb link field.  Seems like it might make sense to pre-fill that field with the selected...

When updating article properties, the Ajax update indicator sometimes gets stuck. Refreshing the page seems to be the only way to clear the condition. Sometimes the database update has actually completed, and the refresh shows the new information. Sometimes...

I'd like to be able to link to users as internal Metaweb links. But at least when I try it for my two accounts ("/user/william" and "/user/querybuilder_bot") the autocomplete can't find them, both in the text editor link tool and in the "favorite topics" autocomplete.

Steps to reproduce Current user invites new use: newguy@example.com New user receives email, clicks on link New user registers, but mistypes email as newguy@exampel.com New user receives no emailNew user returns to site to log in, is told "you must follow the...

It would be great to have an RSS feed set up for each of the Discuss pages.

I was doing some additional work on last week's "Alec's data task for the week" and was specifically entering album data for Jon Finn.  The wikipedia article referenced two alboums so I entered one called "Don't Look So Serious" which auto completed so I selected...

When I gave focus to "Where I grew up" and typed in the first few letters of the location, the system offered me the choices illustrated in the accompanying screenshot, the types include "Book", "Person", "Musical Artist" "Person, Deceased Person", none of which are...

The image addition facility refers to the location of the image to be uploaded, e.g. "Freebase image", "Select an image on your drive. JPG, GIF, PNG formats preferred.", etc. Once uploaded, the edit options include: "Image location". This is confusing when the upload...
