Single-value constraint

I've removed the single-value constraint that was on this object and replaced it with a single-best-value constraint. There certainly exists more than one photo for most people doing most jobs; there is a need to make sure we have a best photo, but no need to prevent more photos from being added.

I also added a separator of occupation (P106) to the single-best-value constraint. This is needed because there are many people who have had multiple occupations that they are known for; for example, an athlete who later becomes a coach. You may want to retrieve a photo of them playing for a page about their playing career, and likewise for their coaching career. If you just want to retrieve a general photo of them at work and aren't concerned with which job it is, then any of the 'preferred rank' photos should be good enough.

So those are my thoughts behind those changes; I welcome discussion though! –IagoQnsi (talk) 23:29, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
