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
