Ok let's take a step back and not make this more than it is. We do have since very early in Wikidata the special page. It has always used the pipe character to separate aliases. For some reasons not known to me - probably oversight - the JS interface acts differently. This currently leads to data loss. That's not acceptable. Now we have two ways forward to fix this: 1. consistently treat the pipe character as an alias separator everywhere 2. change the special page somehow We are doing 1 now because that is relatively easily possible. It is also in line with what has been assumed when inputting the data in the examples we looked at. We will then see what the editors say and move forward from there.
