Link to Cradle to create new item if no results
Open, MediumPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary: Place a "create item" link, directing to Cradle, in different places of the website interface, including the "No results" page, the results page (to address the case in which the desired item is not included among the results), and the list of works of an author.

Use case(s): Currently, if a Paulina search returns no results, there is no tool to create the item in Wikidata. The only case where something similar happens is in the list of works by an author: if there is no work, the interface says "Missing information? Add it to Wikidata" and there is a link to the Wikidata home page. It would be much better if the link directed to a Cradle form appropriate to the type of item being searched for (person or work). The level of specificity of the forms to which it directs would have to be analyzed.

Benefits: This feature could favor the creation of Wikidata items when the works or authors searched through Paulina do not exist yet in Wikidata. In the future it would be desirable to incorporate Wikidata editing tools into Paulina.

Hi @Pepe_piton I've submitted the merge request for adding Cradle links throughout Paulina at
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/paulina/-/merge_requests/58
Users can now easily create missing authors and works from the no-results page, results page, and works list. Everything's been tested and I've added screenshots to show how each feature looks. help review these changes, Thanks,
