Depicts auto-suggest should filter out academic articles and disambiguation pages
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Since most of the items in Wikidata are now academic articles, many of the suggestions made by the depicts auto-suggest are also academic articles. This can be very confusing when the titles of academic articles are the same as regular Wikidata items:

The same problem happens with Wikipedia disambiguation pages:

The auto-suggest feature for depicts should automatically filter out anything that is an instance of scholarly article, biographical article, or Wikimedia disambiguation page.

This is not the same bug as T265187. This bug is still a problem, while T265187 is moot. See T265187 for useful implementation notes though.

According to T265187, the only way to effectively solve this bug would be to add a new parameter to the action=wbsearchentities Wikidata API endpoint that allowed filtering out certain categories of entities.
