[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T142093: Decide how to do usage tracking for strings used to lookup entities (page titles, external ids, …)

[Rical]

Rical added a comment.

Exemple of automatic extension from a link between a wiki title and a wikibase entity:

• One template or one module initiates an initial link when it give a first entity id, in one wiki project, in one language.
• Then a reverse link can start from this entity to other modules in pages with the same title in the same wiki project.
• Then the same link can start from this entity to any pages with the same title in other wiki projects in the same language.
• Then the same link can start from translations of this entity in the same wiki projects in other languages.

Of course all that need some cautions:

• Each reverse link can start only some days after initial link, in case of revert.
• Several initial link can accelerate a reverse link.
• Some modules can link to other entities by arbitrary acces and must not disturb the stability. That could also happen in titles where there are 2 linked entities like famous father and son.
• Voluntary registered links confirmations seems necessary to solve any complex cases.

Long term stability:

• When domains of stability are confirmed by large acceptations, initial link can desappear.
• At any time and anywhere a divergent link can appear and must be accepted.
