In Freebase we had a way to mark or flag an Item as a candidate for splitting into 2 Items (topics).
Here is 1 candidate I would flag for a Candidate for Split listing, if so: "offer and acceptance" https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1193004
For that 1 candidate it would be flagged as "retain existing topic while splitting" since the "offer and acceptance" is still useful as an Item in financial domain as well as both "offer" and "acceptance" individually. (We do have Lexemes for each, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L4323 and https://wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L229295 )
Does Wikidata have a similar feature (or some user script or tool) that has this functionality? I expected to see something under the More button, but did not. The HELP page for Split an item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Split_an_item does mention 2 tools to help in other ways and the manual steps to perform a split, but they don't "mark as a candidate for split" for some future processing or review tool for the community? Has this been requested before as a new feature?

Hey Thad :)
I don't think I've seen requests for it and I'm not aware of an existing workflow to request a split. I assume most of the time people who find an Item that's mixed up fix it themselves so far. Some people are marking them as "instance of: Q14946528" so they can be found.
Cheers Lydia
Thanks Lydia!
"conflation" Q13946528 would be good enough as a "flag" for a candidate to split. I will just use that for now.

This is th2 "Bonnie and Clyde" problem:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Cross_Items_Interwikis
Note that there is at least one Wikipedia article on "Offer and acceptance":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offer_and_acceptance
so a Wikidata item at that level of granularity is required. That is not to say that we could not also have two "child" items.
