Just recently a new Wikidata property for linking with the Index page has been created https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957
An example of its use can be seen here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15839163
In theory it should be possible to import it automatically. Is anyone capable of writing a bot for importing it?
Cheers, Micru
I don't write though happy to watch/maintain, and sometimes adapt. We have wikisourcebot sitting at Labs with multiple maintainers if someone needs the vehicle.

This is great.
I'm not yet really up on Wikidata, but why's it a URL? How does the "scan file (Commons)(P996)" property work? This one is doing a similar thing to that. I guess we can't have a Wikisource Index data type though. :(
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was whether anyone could tell me how one can get from an Index page, to the mainspace work's page (to get the Wikidata item for the work)? Because at the moment it's a matter of following the link found in the #ws-title table cell and sometimes there's more than one link there, so it gets confusing. Also, many editions span more than one Index.
Ah... or is that what's going to be solved with this property? Because at the moment, there's no hard and fast way to do this, but if every index was referenced in Wikidata from an edition's page, then it'd be simple. Is that the idea?
Of course, a script would perhaps just update the unambiguous cases, and leave the odd ones to us humans.
(Sorry, I'm not being very coherent... I'll start learning more about wikidata I think!)

I agree that it seems a little weird, it knows it is a WS, language dropdown would have been nice. That said it is a URL as it needs to point to a language, the sister and a filename and at this time with the current technology that means is a URL. The body there cannot do wiki select then file look up.
Scan points to the file, and index the index. There are elements of duplication (and more more more) which I don't understand, so others will need to address that aspect.

Now that we have the arbitrary linking we can include a field in the Index ns template to do linking BUT I would much prefer a means to auto link, otherwise a bot to do. For those I am going to need to speak to someone clueful.

<shrug> I missed the rationale beyond "here is an idea ..." We have to have edition pages for all first, and who knows where that is currently situated.
Of course, a script would perhaps just update the unambiguous cases, and leave the odd ones to us humans.
<umm err > in my experience the odd ones are the humans 😉
