Hello all,
Currently and since the Wikimedia projects pages and Wikidata items have
been connected, the link "Wikidata item" appears on the menu column of the
Wikimedia wikis, in the section "Tools".
However, many editors from various projects told us that it would make more
sense to have the link in the "In other projects" section, since Wikidata
is one of the Wikimedia projects and the Wikidata item link doesn’t really
belong to the list of special pages.
This is why we are going to change the position of the link, on August 22nd
for all Wikipedias and August 21st for all the other projects. After this
date, *you will find the "Wikidata item" link in the "In other
projects"
section* of all Wikimedia projects.
In some cases, for example on help and meta pages, the section may contain
two links to Wikidata, for example on en:Help:Contents
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents> where there will be the
"Wikidata" link (linking to d:Help:Contents
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Contents>) and the "Wikidata item"
link
(linking to d:Q914807 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q914807>).
If you want to know more about the previous discussions or mention a bug or
an issue, please add a comment to the related Phabricator task

Cheers,
