Hi,
the handling of double Entries is strange. The warning, that you created
an allready existing Item comes up very late.
What I did:
* Search for "Käsebrot" -> not found
* Create a new Item
o enter Label: "Käsebrot"
o enter Description: "ein Brot mit einem Belag aus Käse"
* Add "Also known as": "Käsestulle"
* try to add a Link to de:Käsebrot
o get the following Error-Message: "An error occurred while trying
to perform save and because of this, your changes could not be
completed."
o click Details: Edit not allowed: Site link [[dewiki:Käsebrot]]
already used by item [[Q1795455]].
That is quite frustrating... It took seven steps until I get informed
about the Error I made.
I figured out, that you only check for double Entries when you enter a
Label and a Description in the currently selected language in the second
Step. That check is also a check for bitwise equality. One different
character in the description and you get no warning. If the desctiption
and Label equals to an existing item you get the following
Error-Message: "Another item (3220891) already has label "Käsebrot" and
description "ein Brot mit einem Belag aus Käse" associated with language
code en".
I think you should:
* enable the search for Item-Labels
* check the Label when creating a new Item
* add Links to the existing Item in the error-messages
After my tests there are several Items with the Label "Käsebrot", I'm
sorry for that.
