I'm trying to develop some new schema entities and hit some issues after trying to modify some sample entries. Deletion of a topic can only be flagged so now I have some topics that are not correct.</blockquote><div>

<br>How to know when it is logical to migrate into a public Base? </blockquote><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000099">If you are creating a few types around a single subject, it is better to create it in a base. If you create a base, you can edit it and unselect the "</font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000099"><i>Include this Base in the directory and in Freebase search</i>" option. That way, you can experiment with schema, and it won't be seen by others. But your types won't be visible on topics unless you access them via your base.
