--- Comment #5 from TMg <[email protected]> ---
[[en:Mainpage-url]] is a redirect to [[en:Main Page]], see
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mainpage-url&action=edit .

[[en:Main Page]] is Q5296 in Wikidata, see http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5296 .

[[sv:Thulin Typ H]] is Q10697351 in Wikidata, see
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10697351 .

Nobody should and nobody can add a link if it is already used in an other
Wikidata item. That's exactly what the error message says: "Der Websitelink
[[enwiki:Main Page]] wird bereits vom Datenobjekt [[Q5296]] verwendet."
English: The link [[en:Main Page]] is already used in Q5296. This is true.
There is nothing wrong with the wording of this message.

There can't be a solution for your problem. It is forbidden to add a link to
two Wikidata items and it always will be.

If you think a message should be more descriptive you should not call your
report "Impossible to add interwiki links if the article has none" because this
is not true in any way. Instead please copy and paste the message or make a
screenshot instead of talking about a vague "fail" or "strange and meaningless
message", describe what you think is missing in the message and give examples
how you think the message should be in your opinion.

I guess you are talking about
http://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikibase-error-sitelink-already-used/en
. See #41602, #47217 and #48224 for actual bugs related to this message.
