Hoi, I am in two minds of the "article placeholder" as it is it is certainly not as good as Reasonator. It needs additional effort to make it sing. With examples it may be wonderful but I have not seen anything that inspires. Thanks, GerardM

I couldn't agree more, but isn't this missing link going to be filled by the article placeholder? Maybe I am missing something, but it was my understanding that the article placeholder could be used for those redirects that are not alternate spellings for the same person and so forth

Hoi, If there is one thing I have learned from Magnus, it is that a single
tool
is just that. Easily forgotten. The power of his approach is that he
thinks
about tools as part of a chain. This means that when a new tool is build, it slots in. It gains power by doing so.
Being an independent thinker, his tools fit his architecture, an architecture that is his. He is quite happy to hear ideas and when he
sees
reason, he will even apply himself and make it so. It is why I am
grateful
to him for the many small things he added to Reasonator to humour me.
It is against this light that it bemuses me. He has his day, but he did
not
have his day. One of the best ideas not part of either the Wikipedia or Wikidata road map is his tool for redlinks. I have said it before and I
say
it again. It will improve both Wikipedia and Wikidata significantly. It
has
only one drawback, the pundits did not find fault with it so it does not get tracktion. <grin> Thanks, GerardM

Here are my top links: https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/ http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/quick_statements.php https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/prepbio.php https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/creator_from_wikidata.php
I use these to edit data about artists and their works, but you could
use
prepbio for preparing to publish any biography on English Wikipedia,
and
Mix-n-Match for any authority control for person data, not just
artists.
