Nemo_bis added a subscriber: Nemo_bis. Nemo_bis added a comment. Selecting which item is relevant to the title in question is the first step and can follow a wdsearch <http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=108> approach. The only problem is how to make users report/solve disambiguation issues, but in the end having an unexpected topic under a certain title is business as usual.
The second step is to decide whether to display a placeholder at all, regardless of its technical quality. One basic criterion is that the item must have at least N sitelinks or M sitelinks to the same project (e.g. to Wikiquote wikis if on Wikiquote, or to Wikipedia wikis if on Wikipedia). N = 1 may be reasonable, but maybe a careful beginning would look like M = 1, N = 5. The third step is improving how the placeholder is packaged and shipped, for instance how the red links should look like (still action=edit? different shade of red?) and how to change [[MediaWiki:noarticletext]] and friends (should it still be a 404, or return 200? should it be indexed? what's the canonical URL? how to provide a sitemap?).
