Hello I'm working on running PWB on wikidata and i want to do some edits via API so i did this: http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/w/api.php?action=wbsetitem&id=392...
but gives me this: http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/w/index.php?title=Q392&diff=10567...
As you can see, the label changed but the change is not shown in "List of pages linked to this item(79 entries)" section. I think it's because they are not the same but it's better to be!
and besides does anybody know how can i take page id? i mean i give "Tantalum" and take "392" or "Q392"
Best wishes
Is there anybody who can help me?

Hey Amir,
It'll take a bit for the right person to see your email. Sorry. You'll get an answer.
Cheers Lydia
Hi Amir!
You set the page's label in Arabic, you did not change the sitelink, the link to the Arabic Wikipedia. You can see that the label has changed by looking at the page in Arabic, like so:
http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Q392?uselang=ar
I can see how this is confusing, perhaps we need to talk about labels vs. links explicitly in the documentation, and provide some examples.
Look for instructions about setting sitelinks in the documentation - or ask John (CC) for help.
Btw: keep in mind that for labels, you are setting the text for a specific language, while for sitelinks, you set the target page for a given site.
