Bug ID: 64509
Summary: Offer an alternative to "imported from"
Product: MediaWiki extensions

OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

Bot operators are currently marking imported data from the Wikipedias with
"imported from:Wikipedia X" as a reference/source for the claim.
This method has a strong opposition:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P143
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/08#Problem_with_imported_from_.28P143.29
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/11#Imported_from_WIkipedia_vs_no_source
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/07#Not_counting_.22imported_from.22_as_a_source
A more relevant information would be to show on which sites the statement value
is being used, because:
a) it is roughly equivalent to "imported from", but always up-to-date
b) it gives a good overview of which sites are using which data
c) it switches the mindset from "unidirectional data imports" to "import data
and use it"
A way to show this information could be with a section similar to "X sources"
but called "X uses". On expansion, it would show which sites are using the
value.
Cheers,
Micru
