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
enter Label: "Käsebrot"
enter Description: "ein Brot mit einem Belag aus Käse"
Add "Also known as": "Käsestulle"
try to add a Link to de:Käsebrot
get the following Error-Message: "An error occurred while trying to
perform
save and because of this, your changes could not be completed."
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
Yes. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ItemByTitle is helpful
until then.
Are there plans to integrate a search in all languages into the
'normal' Wiki-Search?
The Special:ItemByTitle is not useful because of several reasons:
1. it is not obvious that by clicking "Item by title" you get a
search
2. the search box is calles 'Page', the headline is 'Item by
title' and it searches for something called 'Label'
3. you haveto enter a language before searching for a title
4. you only get one result or nothing (I expected a list of all
Items with the given label in the given language)
After my tests there are several Items with the Label "Käsebrot",
I'm sorry
for that.
Please list them on
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions
According to the not working search I can't find the IDs ;)

Here is my recomendation for the ItemByTitle-Specialpage:
// Special pages
'special-itembytitle' => 'Search Items by Label/Title',
'wikibase-itembytitle-lookup-fieldset' => 'Search',
'wikibase-itembytitle-lookup-site' => 'Language/Code:',
'wikibase-itembytitle-lookup-page' => 'Label/Title:',
'wikibase-itembytitle-submit' => 'Search',
