hi there,
I recently read some papers/article about wikidata. I am confused at point
where it is written that "wikidata is multilingual by design" and at the
same time it also written that "wikidata centralized the language links".
Then my doubt is that if wikidata is multilingual by design why we need
language links at all ? Please help me to understand this.
Do you mean sitelinks <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Sitelinks> in
Wikidata?
What is "multilingual by design" is part of the /structured/ information
we host, which is in turn only a fraction of all information available
about a topic.
To read a full article, a list of a subject's quotes, to view files
about a topic, etc., you'd have to be pointed to sister projects in some
way.
I also have another question that if there is only one wikidata item for
every article in all wikipedia. Then also in multiple wikipedia (i.e
English, hindi, French etc) the content of article is somewhat different.
How this happens ?
Wikidata items collect links to articles covering the same topic. The
project doesn't aim to force different Wikipedias to deal with these
topics in the same way.
However, links about totally different topics may have sometimes been
merged into a single item: in such cases, a split
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Split_an_item> is required.
Please help me to clarify this doubts.
Sincerely
,
