Description

I just noticed an odd Wikidata entry in my watchlist:
"(diff | hist) . . D Wikipedia:Wikidata (Q42); 22:58 . . CaliViking (talk | contribs) (‎Changed [da] description: engelsk forfatter)"
The watchlisted change was made in the WikiData object for article "Douglas Adams" with ID Q42, however:
*I have not watchlisted this article and shouldn't see this change to begin with (not OK).
*I have watchlisted the page WP:Wikidata though (WikiData ID of this page is Q4847210), but the listed change has nothing to do with this page, the article link to "Wikipedia:Wikidata" is wrong and WP:Wikidata doesn't match with Q42 (not OK).

Just a wild guess, but it looks like information about 2 different WikiData items has been mixed up somehow.

The given page contains the following:

{{#property:P106|from=Q42}}

Every change to the linked item of the page and the items that are being used on the page appear in the watchlist.

Oh, I see - the object is used as an example in the documentation. Makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification, I totally overlooked that connection.

The label of Q42 should really be visible.

I think we have T125768 for that.

That reads like a copy of this. Neither is really a request to add this.

I updated it, maybe we can close this.

Agree to close. The original misunderstanding was clarified, and an eventual tweak is already discussed in a different task. Closing this (hope that's OK).

@GermanJoe The ticket's author is welcome to close it. After all, s/he knows best whether the issue has been addressed.
