Hi everyone, Thanks for the tips so far!
I usually receive and look up ‘external’ lists of concepts/names, for which I have no corresponding Wikipedia article, and there may be spelling variations or even errors. I tried Linked Items! Thank you! It does give me partial results, which makes a nice difference! But if someone knows of an even more generic search tool (e.g. across all Wikipedias and searching in all Wikidata aliases), that would make me even more happy :-D In any case, Linked Items will make my life easier in the near future for sure. BTW, here’s a typical example of a (small part of a) list of terms I’d like to look up on Wikidata: Names of Dutch companies, well-known products, and designers, for an edit-a-thon, provided by A GLAM: Wim Rietveld Martin Visser Spectrum Design Kembo TX 400 Rein Veersema Gerard Kiljan Heemaf Wim Gilles DRU Vladimir Flem Fridor G.M.E.
