TASK DESCRIPTION

A substantial part of items at Wikidata merely link disambiguation pages at various Wikimedia sites.

Their features are:

  • dabel: identical or similar in most languages
  • description: "Wikimedia description" on every item
  • sitelinks: links to disambiguation pages on Wikimedia sites
  • statements:
    • mostly instance of (P31)=Wikimedia disambiguation page (Q4167410)
    • sometimes P460

Within Wikidata, these items don't have any function beyond providing interwiki links. Despite that, they seem to create a lot of overhead.

At https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Bot_requests#Take_care_of_disambiguation_items a few steps have been identified. Eventually these should become sub-tasks of this tracking task.
