Sentence after the headline asking to check for duplicates
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story Points

Description

As a Wikidata editor I want other editors to check if the Lexeme they are about to create already exists in order to prevent duplicates.

Problem:
We need to encourage checking for existing Lexemes before creating new ones.

Acceptance criteria:

  • a sentence is shown below the headline with some instructions for checking for existing Lexemes
  • the search link links to Special:Search with namespace restrictions already taken into account (see link below)
  • if a Lemma was already entered then the search link uses that Lemma for the search (see link below)
