Yeah. So having mentions of Wikidata displayed everywhere is not why people are complaining, right? :)
So before launching this feature, please document it and consider how you want to deploy it? I would advice to advertise users that they can opt-in for this feature in their Notifications preferences. Where deploy it is questioned on T142103.
New users are opt-out, others opt-in (was this the decision, @Lydia_Pintscher?).
I recommend to opt-out for everyone:
- people who don't want to have it will not have it
- people who are not aware of Wikidata will not be disturbed by something they don't understand
I've also think about some possible questions or feedback that may be raised up by the users.
- Some users would be very happy to have a preview of the Wikidata item title and description, for example by having them displayed in the dropdown. Possible?
If Wikibase has services for this, it should be. But then the code will need some changes with compatibility handling.
- Some users would prefer to have this notification as a line in the watchlist. Possible? If so, when?
Already possible in watchlist with Wikidata enabled.
- Some users would like to have a notification when a page is connected to a different item: "The page X has been moved to a different idem"
I recall that the motivation for this kind of notification was to raise awareness about Wikidata but make as few noise as possible. Moreover, I think Wikibase doesn't recognize a "move" action.
Maybe I should subtask al of this.
