Description Yuri Astrakhan 2013-02-13 10:12:23 UTC 
Clicking the [edit] link at the bottom of the langlinks list in a page should navigate to the language links section of the wikidata page, not to the top of the page.

I think this is a critical usability issue, as users will might not realize they should scroll past all the other facts.

Related: bug 45086.

I overlooked this bug as this bug didn't use the phrase "edit links". Hopefully this comment will correct that. ;-)

I'm not sure if there's already been previous discussion about this. I couldn't
find any.

I think the "Edit links" link from the interwiki links sidebar section to
Wikidata needs further thought. For example, the link "Edit links" from the
"languages" section in the left-hand sidebar section of
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City> goes to
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60>.

There's no standard external link arrow icon and the link text ("Edit links")
doesn't make it clear that you're being sent to a separate site (compare "Edit
links on Wikidata" or similar).

Unlike other "edit" links on the page (such as section edit links or the "edit"
tab at the top of the page), this edit link doesn't actually lead to an editing
screen. I think this is also a bit confusing.

Possibly related to this is bug 44994 and the larger ability to edit Wikidata
information "remotely" (i.e., from a domain other than www.wikidata.org).

I'm not sure what thought and discussion has been put into this sidebar edit
link already. I think some further consideration is warranted here.

I agree about the arrow, might make it clearer that its a separate site. As for inline editing, I think this bug is more of a interim solution, before that capability is implemented.
