[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- I also don't follow what kind of disambiguation page Jeblad means. If a Wikipedia disambiguation page is what's meant (along with the Wikidata item linking to it), that only seems like a very partial solution. They often don't exist, and even when they do they usually don't cover the sorts of distinctions that will be important to Wikidata. Even assuming they did, and the aliases allowed you to find them when needed, you would have to navigate back to the Wikipedia pages and then back to Wikidata to reach the various items that could be confused. (I'd want to be able to pull them all up when checking the statements we have about them, for instance.) So even in the best possible case, they'd be painful to work with, and usually they wouldn't be workable at all. If there are plans for disambiguation pages native to Wikidata, that could be much more promising. They could essentially hold a centralised form of the "See also" links proposed here, and have the advantage that there'd be only one copy of the links to maintain. Something would still need to be displayed somewhere on the relevant topics' item pages, telling readers that an associated disambiguation page exists. Perhaps a statement would be enough, if it could be highlighted somehow so it wasn't buried in the mass of other statements. A "not to be confused with" property might be a simpler fix, although ensuring its statements would be prominently visible would again be an issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
