The problem is that we don't really know what topic the user is looking for, we just know a term (the search string or page title). The easiest thin to do would be to show an automatic disambiguation page, listing items that have a matching label or alias. That page would show the description for each such item, and a link to the corresponding page on the local wiki, if there is one.
This sidesteps the question of how we might show a "summary" of some sort of a specific data item. If we want that, picking the appropriate infobox template would be nice, but I'm not sure how that could be done. -- daniel Am 29.12.2014 18:11, schrieb Lydia Pintscher: > Hey folks :) > > People have been bugging me for a while now about this so I started a > page to gather input. > > If you are searching for a topic on a Wikipedia for example but it > doesn't have an article about it then we can look at Wikidata and see > if there is a matching item for that topic.
