[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T119536: [RFC] should wikidata.org/entity/Q12345 do content negotiation, instead of redirecting to wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q36661 first?

Once again, /entity/Q1234.ttl or /entity/Q1234.json don't seem to have any purpose and such URIs should never appear anywhrere.

I agree that /entity/Q1234.xyz is semantically unclear, and we don't need it. We have supported it as an undocumented shorthand for years now, though. We can remove support for this, but we should not do without consideration.

In any case, we should have a mechanism that makes *sure* we never return content from an /entity/ path. That's why I proposed the force-redirect parameter. Even if we disallow Q1234.xyz, there is nothing that guarantees that Special:EntityData/Q1234 will always cause a redirect (or error). We need to add that guarantee.
