Hi,

I was just about to suggest the same: there is no simple 1-to-1 relationship between articles in different articles. If Wikidata only supports 1-to-1, this relation will be end up more fuzzy, because people will also put "more-or-less" mappings into it. Gregor wrote:

Would changing the model to: Wikipedialink = (Title, LanguageId, Relation, Badge?) where relation can be broader match close match exact match narrower match

etc. help in expressing these situations? I believe this could prevent problems later on.

I'd better limit relations to "exact", "broader" and "narrower" because "close match" is very fuzzy. Even "exact match" won't be 100% in practice, so where is the border between "exact" and "close" (or additional "far match", "almost exact match" etc.). Two directions "broader" and "narrower" are easier to grasp, also in user interfaces and for retrieval.

I took the freedom to modify the current model as it's a Wiki ;-)
