I ended up looking into this task as part of T255110 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255110> and wondered why this ambiguity should only affect the pageterms API and not the Lua code. But the situation there is slightly different; rather than pageterms’ “give me the terms for this page/title”, Lua has different functions: - “give me the terms for this //Entity ID//” (`getLabel`, `getDescriptionWithLang` etc.) - “give me the //Entity ID// for this page/title” (`getEntityIdForTitle`) - “give me the terms for //the current page//” (`getLabel`, `getDescriptionWithLang` etc. without Entity ID argument) Only the last one is potentially ambiguous, and if you’re running Lua that looks at the current page, then the current page can’t be an Entity page, since Items, Properties etc. don’t contain wikitext, so it’s never ambiguous (it can only mean “terms of the linked Entity”, because the current page can’t be an Entity). …Unless you use the action=parse API, specify the title of an Entity, but set the contentmodel=wikitext and the text to some wikitext that calls a Lua module. Then you can ask for the terms of the current Item page, and the API will return the terms of the Item linked to that Item (rather than, like pageterms with the hack mentioned in T115117#1719166 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115117#1719166>, the terms of the Item you specified in the title). And also, the “Entity pages don’t contain wikitext” assumption is in fact violated by WikibaseMediaInfo. For the pageterms API, this was reported at T215292 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215292>; I don’t know if anyone has so far tried to use the Lua term functions on File/MediaInfo pages and found+reported unexpected results. (Testing locally, it seems that `mw.wikibase.getLabel()` never returns a label on a File/MediaInfo page, regardless of whether it’s linked to an item or not.)
