But the item class (Q16889133) does not represent "the class of all classes", it represents any class, including first-level classes. The class baseball player (Q10871364) is a "collection of items defined by common characteristics"; it is not "the class of all classes". Appending "the class of all classes" to the description with a semicolon is the same as saying that that phrase is an apt definition of the item and all its instances, which it is not.
