The WikibaseQualityConstraints extension allows defining constraints on Wikibase Properties and checks that the constraints are met when the Properties are used in Statements on Entities.
The checks are strictly informational: the extension does not ensure that the constraints are met, it merely informs editors when they are being violated.
For more information, see the Property constraints portal on Wikidata.
Installation
Download and move the extracted WikibaseQualityConstraints folder to your extensions/ directory.from Git instead, using:cd extensions/Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory.

Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php wfLoadExtension ( 'WikibaseQualityConstraints' );
Configure as required. Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
