Hi,
This may be a total newbie question, sorry about that!
While linking YSO places to Wikidata we have stumbled on a few cases where there is a Wikipedia article about the place we want to link, but that page has no Wikidata link visible. And it seems that Wikidata itself does not contain that entity.
An example is the village Teuro in Tammela, Finland. It has a page on the Finnish Wikipedia:
https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teuro
But that page has no Wikidata link. A search for "Teuro" in Wikidata gives a few hits, but none of them represent the village.
What's the correct way to correct this? I found this guide:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Linking_Wikipedia_pages
But I'm not 100% it addresses this exact situation. How did this happen in the first place? My naïve understanding was that every normal article in Wikipedia would have a corresponding Wikidata entity, but apparently that's not entirely true!
