Hi,
We just introduced ourselves on the wikidata-l mailing list. We are currently working on a
Wikidata extension, in order to improve the process of adding new statements to an item by
displaying property suggestions that fit the current item, when clicking "add new
statement".
Currently there is the entity-selector which displays properties that match the user
input.
We would like to integrate another source of suggestions into the entity selector. For
this purpose we developed an api method that provides property suggestions for a certain
item.
We wonder how to implement the following functionality:
- adding a new source of suggestions to the entity selector from an extension
- display suggestions "on focus", when the input field is empty.
- combine the existing search results with suggestions from the new suggester api method.
We probably need to make the entity-selector more modular, which would require changes in
Wikibase.
We are happy about every kind of help.
