Yeah we need some kind of disambiguation. But even then we want to show the user more about each of those topics. We're talking mostly about small wikis that have no article coverage for a lot of topics. I'll add the disambiguation point to the wiki page. Let's keep discussion there if possible. > This sidesteps the question of how we might show a "summary" of some sort of a > specific data item.

On a small Wikipedia that would already be a win. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
