I'll have to agree with Romaine here. I do consider myself a more advanced Wikidata user, but here I find myself at a loss. I want to move an interwiki link from one interwiki data item to the other. Currently my workflow for this seems to be this:
* I open the edit field on Wikidata item 1 * I delete the item there * I hit save * I open the edit field on Wikidata item 2 * I specify the language there * I specify the page name there * I am unable to hit save * I get frustrated * I open the Wikipedia page * I click on the 'add interwiki' link * I fill in a language * I fill in a page * I hit ok
Surely it should be possible to create a workflow that does NOT include going outside Wikidata?

Hi all,
Again, for already so many times, many users have complained on nl-wiki that it is for them impossible now to add interwikilinks on Wikidata. They are sick of all the changes all the time, especially if they experience the new design as impossible to use, as it now is.
They are lost with the current design and can't add new interwikilinks. That this pops-up so many times is a serious problem that needs a solution.
Wikidat is not meant for techno users only, but that is how many regular users experience Wikidata. If regular users find themselves impossible to add/update pages, the software needs a big change to re-enable them to work with Wikidata again.
