Bug #: 41495
Summary: Hard to tell whether an item has any content.
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If you go to an item that does not have content in your language, it will look
like it has *no* content. That's misleading and unhelpful. As an example,
consider http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q26&oldid=57
One thing that would help is implementing language fallback.
http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q26&oldid=57 has content for en-gb,
we should see that also if our user language is en or en-ca. If there's nothing
better, we should also see that if our language code is de or he. Compare bug
36430.
Another thing we can do is (somewhere) show a list of the languages this item
has content for. We could (ab)use the sidebar for this, simulating "language
links" like on wikipedia. The user's preferred languages could/should be sorted
to the top. Compare bug 40744.
The general question behind this ticket is though: how do we make content in
other languages discoverable?
