Good points.
But enabling it and "tricking" the user into clicking a dysfunctional button, just to show an error message, is worse I feel.
It would at least show the information the user needs to carry on. I suggested this because it matches the behavior when URLs are saved. In general, I would much prefer a validation that shows it right away that there is a problem and how to fix it.
Same for saving dysfunctional values nobody else can later use or fix
Yes… I'm torn. I really like the Wiki concept of having "dysfunctional" links, but, indeed, I have no idea how an equally working thing would look and behave like on wikidata.
Show the selector popup with a "nothing found" message.
Yes – that is a good idea. I suppose, what makes it confusing that I can fill the field with letters that don't resolve to something and that they silently stay there after it is clear that they don't match – for the user it looks like "I entered [useful] information.
I try to mock up that.
