kaldari added a comment. This is still blocking https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101719, although I imagine the team may eventually move ahead with that feature regardless. Is there any hope for a resolution to this bug? It seems the delimiter stop-gap solution has stalled.
Personally, I agree with the others that the best solution is to somehow store the usage instructions separately. I understand that you don't want to clutter the interface with an extra field that is only going to be used on a small number of items, so why not make it only editable via the API? The few items that need usage instructions are almost never going to need those instructions edited. They just need to be set once and stored. Then if an item does have usage instructions, those instructions should be displayed below the description on both the item page and in pop-up hints (and as separate data in API results). 3rd party Wikibase users could then just completely ignore the concept of usage instructions if they want to (or there could be a feature flag for it). What do you think?
