See specifically they are of the form: https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/tools/cradle/https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q629

What should have happened instead?:
Instead, I expect the fields to correctly link to item pages.

To do on our end:

  • Investigate further into the issue and specify what we need
  • Reach out to Magnus to align on an approach to solve it (i.e. propose fix or specify the problem)

@Addshore do we need triage on this to get the ball rolling on fixing the use of Cradle for Wikibase.cloud?

@Martsniez thats all for @Evelien_WMDE
As far as I can see it is currently in the correct column on the correct work board to get looked at

Tarrow updated the task description. (Show Details)

For a place to start looking maybe try this fairly complex block? https://github.com/wbstack/cradle/blob/main/public_html/vue.js#L31 I'm afraid at a glance understanding what needs changing here isn't trivial to me.

Could be useful to have information on how often these links are clicked; if it's very few then we might want to prioritise this.

We could try to quantify the number of 404s we get over time to urls similar to https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/tools/cradle/https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q629

@Fring same with this one. let me know if you think it makes sense for you to cover this one too.
