It is either obvious that they should be entering only integers or positive
numbers, in which case such feedback isn't helpful, or it might end up
being too restrictive again. Who tells me that a system like this won't get
used in order to force cities to have a population of an integer bigger
than 10,000?
I understand the wish and desire to restrict user input, but I would like
to remind everyone that Wikidata comes from the wiki side, which adheres
more to the 'let's gather input and then verify it' than the 'let's
make
everyone give us correct input in the first place' side.
