Hoi,
There are two ways of enabling this Wikidata search functionality; Wiki
wide and personally. It is done by adding this one line to common.js..
/javascript");
You add it either to mediawiki:common.js or to USER/common.js.
Thanks,

Hi gerard, that sounds really exciting! Is it
necessary to change a setting
to see this behaviour? If not i d appreciate if you could give an example
where one could see this best.

Hoi,
The Italian Wikipedia is the first project where people who use search
will find results added from Wikidata. As you may know, Wikidata knows
has
more items with a label in a language than a
Wikipedia has articles. With
the Wikidata based functionality people will gain several functionalities
that are new to them
- a link to Commons categories for a subject
- a link to Wikipedia articles in other languages
- a link to the Wikidata item
- visualisation care of the "Reasonator"
When there are multiple items found in the search request, disambiguation
will be provided based on the statements available on the items.
Obviously
as more labels are available in a language for
statements, the experience
will improve.
This is a really exciting new development and I want to thank Magnus and
Nemo for making it possible. I hope and expect that many Wikipedias will
follow the example of the Italian Wikipedia. Particularly the smaller
Wikipedias have much to gain from this new functionality.
Thanks,
GerardM
