Bug #: 41994
Summary: No easy way to view all content of all languages of a
newly-created entry
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I managed to find that
http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q21193&action=edit&redlink=1 was a
duplicate only because I correctly guessed that the IP which created it did so
in Italian. If this was in, for example, Arabic, I would have had no way of
telling what this newly-made page had as its content without first trying to
guess the correct language - not even with Special:Undelete.
This isn't as bad for diffs because the edit summaries automatically show which
language the change was made in, but for the first edit that creates the entry,
I have no such aid, as the edit summary says nothing about the language used.
One possible remedy may be a "view all languages" option, either as a special
page or another tab, or, perhaps more easily, show which language the initial
edit was made in.
