Hi,
Thanks for the update. With redirect now becoming common as a meaningful
part of the data, could we also have information about them in the JSON
dumps? Or is this maybe already planned/tracked/implemented somewhere?
Cheers,
Markus

Hi,
I've added a task to our Wikidata gadgets project on Phabricator to be
sure that the merge gadget gets adjusted:

Hey!
tl;dr after the next deploy merging two items creates a redirect,
merge gadget (and every tool with a similar functionality) needs to be
adjusted to the new functionality
There was a change to the functionality of merging items. Whenever you
merge two items a redirect will be automatically created.
If you merge via the special page nothing changed - except for the
item, that is merged into another item now also redirects to that item.
The same goes for the API except for using 'ignoreconflicts'- when the
item is not left empty after the merge it won't be a redirect and
still be there as before without the data that got merged into the
other item. (So it will only have the data that would have given a
merge conflict.)
Last but not least: The merge gadget will need some adjusting. That's
expected since the functionality changed.
Please keep that in mind if you have any tool, that merges items.
Cheers,
Lucie
