[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T148762: Make it possible to set the label of a Wikidata item from Wikipedia when linking a page to the item

Njardarlogar created this task. Njardarlogar added a project: Wikidata. Herald added a subscriber: Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

Currently, you have to visit Wikidata to set the label of an item; even if you are linking a Wikipedia page to the item. In effect, this leads to very many Wikidata items needlessly lacking labels in many languages as the labels are simply not getting set.

I think you should be able to set the label from Wikipedia when you link a page there to a Wikidata item. For instance, you could get an input box pre-filled with the article title and a checkbox that asks something to the effect of "Would you like to also set the label for the corresponding Wikidata item?" (whether or not such a checkbox should be checked by default is a good question. I guess it should unless the item already has a label for the language).
