Bug ID: 52564
Summary: Allow sitelinks to wikipedia and wikivoyage redirect
pages to fix the 'Bonnie and Clyde problem'
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Many wikipedia pages cover more than one object.
They can have Bonnie and Clyde on the same page.
They can have a Genus and it's only species an the same page.
They can have a municipality and it's same name town on the same page.
This is not a problem for Wikipedia and there is no reason for them to change.
If other language wikipedias have a separate page for each instance/object then
there is no easy way to create site links between these pages and the multi
object pages.
If we could have sitelinks to redirects then the wikipedia pages with single
objects could link to the wikipedia pages with multiple objects. (Site links
the other way would end up on the redirect pages so that wouldn't help but at
least it is something).
Wikidata could probably manage without this functionality as the Wikidata page
for the multi-object wikipedia pages can use the "consists of" property to link
to a separate wikidata page for each object, whether or not these have
sitelinks. Nevertheless it would be nice to have the sitelinks as these help
establish notability.
Workflow:
If you try and create a sitelink to a redirect page a popup asks you
"This is a redirect page.
"Do you want to link to this redirect page? Yes?
"Do want to link to this other page the redirect points at? Yes?"
