Having a disabled save button but no explanation why is bad. Fully agree. But enabling it and "tricking" the user into clicking a dysfunctional button, just to show an error message, is worse I feel. Same for saving dysfunctional values nobody else can later use or fix, because nobody else knows what the original user meant. That's what Wikidata is about after all, knowing what was meant.
Introducing a per-user "draft" concept into the Wikibase software is a fascinating idea we should continue to talk about. I suggest to find a better place to discuss this.
Alternative suggestions:
- Show the selector popup with a "nothing found" message.
- Do a wider "did you meant?" search when nothing is found, so the selector always shows at least one item to pick from.
