Please correct me if I'm wrong: it seems to be tne case that these questions are more about the interfaces and technologies built on top of Wikidata, not so much about Wikidata itself (except for the point that the fundamental data should exist in Wikidata).


Yes, in a way it is more about representation that anything else, but it also has to do with the conceptual framework. In the current organization it is assumed that I want to know about an specific Q item, whereas in my thinking about signals I would prefer to have an overview of all items that are related to a keyword.

For instance if I enter Chopin, either I have to select one item from a list or I have to perform a search, there is no middle way of displaying an overview of all items grouped by the kind of relationship that they might have to the keyword chopin. In a way it is a bit like creating a disambiguation page on the fly, with the added difficulty of grouping elements that belong together. For instance if I search Bach, it would make sense to group people with the string "bach" related to the same family together, and divide it by topic, like a sort of disambiguation page for data:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_%28disambiguation%29

What is difficult is to find an automatic arrangement that works for most situations, or explore a different way of creating data disambiguation pages, perhaps based on current disambiguation items. Is there any way to make this item more useful with some visualization of items it disambiguates?
