As part of Article Guidance (T396029), editors indicate which subject their new article is about. In some cases users are able to select the specific Wikidata item that they are creating an article about. However, after the item is published, the new article needs to be connected to Wikidata as a separate process.
This ticket proposes to automatically connect new articles to Wikidata items when they are published as part of the Article Guidance process. This applies only when the user indicated the specific Wikidata item the article is about. In this way:
- The system will be aware that the topic is already covered in the current wiki (reducing chances of duplicates)
- Multilingual readers will be able to discover the other language versions of the article.
