Hi,
While doing mappings for YSO places in Mix'n'match, my colleague noticed
that the descriptions shown for the Wikidata entities are mismatched and
come from completely different entities. See the attached screenshot.
Here are some examples of mismatches:
Mariehamn - Island group in Norway ??
Manchuria - Province of Finland ??
Menkijärvi - Lake in Stockholm County ??
Nordic countries - Island in Dodecanese, Greece ??
It appears that the descriptions come from different entities from those
shown. The problem seems to be related to the pagination functionality -
when switching between pages, sometimes only part of the information is
updated - either the Wikidata entity names or their descriptions, but
not always both.
The browser was Firefox 45.2.0 running on Windows 7. I could also see
the same problem on Firefox 54.0 running on Ubuntu 16.04. Just choosing
"Automatically matched" and then flipping between the pages a few times
seems to be enough to trigger the problem.
