[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T141230: On mobile web, allow editors to be directed to Wikidata descriptions page via Wikitext editor

It's definitely a concern to be thinking about. Showing an edit link in Wikipedia will drive traffic there.

If we implemented this we'd need to make sure

1. it's configurable so can be shut off if and when needed
2. We should make this logged in only to start with
3. We could only show this to a sample of users to get a sense of the impact of vandalism this might cause.

On long term if we do find this to be a problem we should explore ways to help editors curate this and limit the vandalism that can occur.
