TASK DESCRIPTION **Feature summary**: Currently-homonymous links to disparate properties or items (caused by identically labeled properties or items) should be disambiguated within the scope of a Wikidata property or item page, for example by adding the description to the link text, potentially in parenthesis or in a smaller font, or, if that is unavailable or also homonymous, the P or Q number. See mockup using the description to disambiguate: F41875337: image.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F41875337> **Use case(s)**: When viewing a Wikidata item or property, mentions of properties and items (e.g., as appearing as the predicates or objects of statements) usually appear as a link to the respective Wikidata property or item, with the link text being the label of the respective property or item in the current user-interface language (if such a label exists, otherwise the respective P or Q number). This leads to confusion in the case of links to homonymous properties (which, to my knowledge, //currently// do not exist) or items (which do exist, cf. figure below, taken from Q117083783 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117083783?uselang=de>, in which the two homonymous items can only be distinguished by the link tooltips). F41875216: image.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F41875216> **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): The fact that identically-labeled links in the Wikidata UI do not target the same property or item is often not on editors’ radar. It is particularly hard to detect on platforms where tooltips are unavailable (e.g., mobile). Implementing such a feature should reduce erroneous edits arising from lack of awareness or confusion over homonymous property and item mentions.
