  NB: That T327507: Investigation: Display Search Suggestion for Lexemes, 
Entity Schemas and Properties <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T327507> was 
about whether existing API endpoints are suitable to show search suggestions 
for these Entity types. It concluded that the ones for Properties and Lexemes 
are, and an endpoint for EntitySchema entities does not exist and thus needs to 
be created.
  
  That investigation did not look into various options for how to create such 
an endpoint, because that would have been out of scope of the topic of the 
investigation. It merely notes that such an EntitySchema endpoint needs to be 
created, because it does not exist yet.
  
  Further, for background context, that investigation was made with the 
understanding that EntitySchema were decided (T327507#8648401 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T327507#8648401>) to explicitly not be 
Entities at all. Only significantly later it turned out that the scope of that 
decision was misrepresented, and from the Product perspective/requirements 
EntitySchema are in fact Entities like Items or Properties ("Semantic 
Entities"). That obviously changes what kind of API endpoints make the most 
sense.
  
  So now claiming that that investigation actively suggested creating a new 
endpoint over extending `wbsearchentities`, given that it didn't even compare 
those options and that it was based on false information of whether 
EntitySchemas are (Semantic) Entities, is quite misleading.
