Someone suggested to use for those cases what we call on french wikipedia
"short article"* (articles courts), *articles with a short description and
a (soft) redirect to the section in the main article. This may be an
interesting solution.* *

1) It becomes redirect to another article, will
Qx be changed in this
scenario?
I expect that if a Wikipedia article gets moved, this will be updated on
the Wikidata item manually. Otherwise the language links that were
displayed on the original article would not show up.
If an article gets turned into a redirect to an already existing
article, this would be a merge (see Question 4).
Thanks for the detailed reply. I still have some question on redirect.
See, if the article A redirects to the article B, will we have 2 items or
only one for the final targets and all its redirects?
From my point of view, if a redirect talks about same topic as its
final target, then it makes sense to only have 1 item. Such as,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obamaand
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama.
But in many cases, a redirect talks about a related but different topic
with its final target. Such as,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_activist and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activism.
how will wikidata handle such redirects?
And back to the original question, if an article becomes a redirect, for
the above 2 different scenarios,what will we do?
In general, you can't point to a redirect from Wikidata. When entering,
Wikidata tries to resolve it to the redirected article, tries to save it -
and if there is already
an item linked to an article, the save will fail.
If someone turns an article into a redirect, we don't notice that
automatically. I hope that bots will clean that up over time, but I would
consider that an issue with the
data. Any data on that item cannot be used on the Wikipedia article, since
it is a redirect.
I hope that helps,
Cheers,
Denny
