@Fring and @Tarrow > ok, I have the impression that the search box does updates now, but that they take a few days to catch up (I am doing a huge import). Not a problem for now, and also lots of understanding as this is beta, but indeed, the expectation in an alpha version would be that the search box is relatively quick in catching up new entries. I imagine the case where I want to add a statement to an entity, and I do not find the "object entity" that I want to relate to the "subject entity" > I then would have to create the object of the triple, and the expectation would be that it is available immediately as an object in the search box for making the triple.

• @Salgo60 and Andra also suggested something similar to resolve a request by @Fransemant42
• https://wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Sitelinks is a feature that is used to centralise links between a concept on Wikidata and on separate languages of Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia wikis. But it is not enabled on Wikibase.cloud; instances are not linked to other wikis and so you cannot say "this item is described at this page on X". I think the question is can it be enabled, although I am not sure if the intent is to link to the item on the Wikibase.cloud instance from other wikis, or from other Wikibase.cloud instances, or from non-entity pages on the same instance.
• It was last brought up in mid-November but that did not result in a feature request ticket on Phabricator as far as I can see.
• Does any use case require it to be a sitelink specifically though? As opposed to say a property with a formatter URL
• You want to link from an entity in your wikibase to a wikitext page on your wikibase? As there are no sitelinks foreseen (like in WD or the factgrid example above), I tried to do it like this https://lexbib.elex.is/wiki/Property:P165 but it doesn't work, it seems the formatter URL leading to the own site is not accepted, e.g. at https://lexbib.elex.is/wiki/Item:Q50#P165. So only option I see is to write the whole url to a prop with datatype URL

I have the impression that things are clearing up on the side of my wiki, with up to date search results, so this seems to have helped!
Thanks,
Tom

wow, thanks for checking. And I understand that the search index update is somewhere buried between all these pending jobs, right? I'll let you know later then how things are!
Merci,
Tom

Hey Tarrow, thanks for your work on this! Could it be that the que for https://osloddt.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Main_Page is also overloaded? I started a couple of Special:Nuke things, which do not seem to work, and search in the search box is not updating at all...
Thanks for checking,
Tom
