I have to say i find the story board really confusing. If I click on add language links i would assume to get some sort of form where i can add/remove/edit language links that will be shown on the left. I have to however choose only 1 language and suddenly many more might be added, or none will be added. If i don't understand the underlying workings of wikidata, i think it would seems random wether i am able to add (i can't really do that either) a link [1] or it says no page found [2].
Let's assume the page for Germany does not have any links yet on any wikipedia. I would go to [3] and click [add] next to languages to add the english version i know exsist.
I would get the modal box to enter a language [4]. I would choose English in the first box and then start typing Germany in the second. Then however i get [2] the no match found error. Even though i know that is the english version of the german page.
Imho the workflow should be:
I add the first language
- if the page i choose already has a item on wikidata i get a message
saying "hey there are already other languages that are already present are those correct?" (or similar)
- if the page i choose does not have an item on wikidata, a new item
is created and the two languages versions (in the example english and german) are added to it.
I agree.
The window will stay the same however. I think it should be [5] or similar.
Why not integrating the feature directly into the lower left language bar, looking and working similar as the test-repo http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Data:Q2
Instead of two text-inputs this could be combined and the suggestions shown as <Language>: <Lemma>.
[Remove] would remove the relation Wikipedia-lemma -> Wikidata-item.
If there is no such relation it should not be possible to add other languages.
For linking a wikipedia-lemma to a wikidata-item a tree view would be great, showing the wikidata-items an their connected wikipedia-lemmas.
