As part of the Article Guidance work (T396029), the initial "Title entry and topic matching" steps allow users to write the title for their article and help them identify which subject the article will be about.
The list of matching Wikidata items can be perceived as suggestions to auto-complete the title too. As [reported by a user](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Article_guidance#c-Escargot_bleu-20260408204900-Issue_with_title_input), trying to create an article about "No Game No Life", as the user types "No Game" they may notice the result they were looking for already in the Wikidata items and select an item labelled as "No Game No Life". This creates the expectation for the title to be completed based on the selection. (which is not the case). In the next step, the user notices the title is incomplete ("No Game") without a clear option on how to fix it.
We may need to consider different scenarios since updating the title to the Wikidata label of the selected item may not be always expected. For example, a user typing "Orange (color)" as the title of their article, and selecting the [orange](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q39338) Wikidata item (Q39338), may find confusing for their title to be automatically changed back to just "orange".
This ticket proposes to explore the following:
- Ways to use the information in the selected Wikidata item to complete the title when it makes sense. We may want to explore different approaches (automatically update the title, showing a suggestion for the user to apply, etc.) and determine in which circunstances (always, only when the title matches the beginning of the Wikidata item label, etc.).
- Provide ways to adjust the title to allow correcting any mismatch in expectations. That is, consider cases where the title is automatically updated when the user didn't want it to be, or the other way around, and how those can be easily fixed by the user.
