Alexander polynomial (P5350) is currently defined as being a property of members of the set of knot (Q1188853). The Alexander polynomial actually seems to be defined over the set of link (Q1760728), of which knots are a proper subset. (See, for example, this paper.)

Should I just boldly edit the property to change its domain, which as far as I can see would not break anything because of the existing set inclusion relationship between knots and links, or is there a procedure I should go through to do this? -- The Anome (talk) 12:57, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Anome: that looks very consensual, please just do it! − Pintoch (talk) 13:10, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Sounds good to me, thanks! ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:20, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Do it! Lymantria (talk) 14:03, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done Thank you! I've also done the same with Jones polynomial (P5352), see reference here. -- The Anome (talk) 18:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
