Bug #: 39070
Summary: Special:ItemByLabel and usecase with description
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If the user navigates to Special:ItemByLabel with both language, label and
description, and the description is wrong, then he will be redirected to the
form to specify his inputs. There he can modify language and label, not the
description. Clicking submit without changing anything he gets back to a second
run but this time without the description and will find the page, possibly
after a redirect to the disambiguation page.
This is probably very difficult for the user to grasp.
A possible solution is to do a second lookup if the first one with description
fails. If the second one succeed the user should always be directed to the
disambiguation page to make it clear for him that the page could be another
than the one he is looking for.
