Hallo Aschmidt, the Autosuggest-Gadget presents possible matches to the user, so the user can choose the right one from a list, for example:

the tool is not able to find the existing wikidata object when there are additional brackets ''(...)'' in the lemma, for example:

From what I read, it sounds like dewiki is supportive of using data from Wikidata in the Nordaten template, and is doing so for quite a lot of them. Are the manually-entered ones generally the older ones, done before the Wikidata integration was added?

Regarding the correct links via VIAF entries: it sounds like the process on dewikipedia is for people to have researched the VIAF ID and added it to the wikitext in e.g. {{Normdaten|TYP=p|GND=117037133|VIAF=62316021}}. So the AutosuggestSitelink gadget would have to inspect the wiki page (either the wikitext or the HTML, although I note that the Normdaten template doesn't output any particularly useful HTML to identify the external IDs), and then query VIAF to see if a Wikidata item has been linked there. That feels like it might be an overly-specific workflow to be worthwhile: wouldn't it be a more general idea that anyone researching to find a VIAF ID be encouraged to instead do that work on Wikidata and so just add the sitelink?

it now has been possible to log in to QuickStatements again.

With the workaround, for me it is not possible to call QuickStatements from the PetScan results, in order to create missing wikidata objects for unconnected articles or to connect articles to already existing objects.

returns a "504 Gateway Time-out" error.

Also other tools seem to be affected, for example PetScan / QuickStatement:

what would be necessary to activate this tool for all users of a language version (e.g. the german language wikipedia) per default?

As for biographical articles a click in the VIAF entry helps to find the related wikidata object, for geographical objects the function "Special:Nearby"

AutoSuggest did not find the existing object

The Autosuggest-Gadget stopped to work, since the full text search is not working since yesteray, for example

according to

Adding sitelinks with the AutosuggestSitelink gadget

since yesterday there seems to be a problem with adding sitelinks to objects using "Sprachen" -> "Links hinzufügen" (gerrman language version).
