Hello all,

Currently and since the Wikimedia projects pages and Wikidata items have been connected, the link "Wikidata item" appears on the menu column of the Wikimedia wikis, in the section "Tools".

However, many editors from various projects told us that it would make more sense to have the link in the "In other projects" section, since Wikidata is one of the Wikimedia projects and the Wikidata item link doesn’t really belong to the list of special pages.

This is why we are going to change the position of the link, on August 22nd for all Wikipedias and August 21st for all the other projects. After this date, you will find the "Wikidata item" link in the "In other projects" section of all Wikimedia projects.

In some cases, for example on help and meta pages, the section may contain two links to Wikidata, for example on en:Help:Contents where there will be the "Wikidata" link (linking to d:Help:Contents) and the "Wikidata item" link (linking to d:Q914807).

If you want to know more about the previous discussions or mention a bug or an issue, please add a comment to the related Phabricator task.
