Description reza1615 2013-10-31 07:39:14 UTC
It is much better that interwiki JS tool in wikipedia has an edit summary for wikidata which shows user does the edit in wikipedia's tool not in wikidata

for exmaple:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q3640027&diff=prev&oldid=82878886

it doesn't show I added this link in wikipedia's tool and we can not trace this tool's edits for maintenance or reporting bug.

I have problems to understand this request. Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and provide steps to reproduce, and maybe replace pronouns like "it" with specific terms. Thanks!

I know what reza1615 means I think. I don't think however we should do this. I don't see a compelling reason to indicate where the link was added at the moment. Can you please explain why you'd like to have this? What are the cases where this would be useful?
Comment 3 reza1615 2013-11-01 07:31:52 UTC
1-wikidata user know this edits done in wikipedia so they can leave message on userpage in wikipedia not in wikidata (many of local users don't have user in wikidata)
2-we can trace the JS tool's activity (as statistic point  of veiw)
3-It will be like bots summary can help us to categorizing the users.it shows that edit is done by locale not international (wikidata users).
Comment 4 Lydia Pintscher 2013-11-05 15:12:09 UTC
Honestly I am still not convinced we should do this. Sorry.
As for argument one: This should only work if the user has an account on Wikidata anyway. So they should be notified of messages, no?
As for points two and three: I would like to see compelling cases where this is actually useful/needed.

Don't get me wrong I am not 100% opposed to this but I need to prevent feature creep in Wikidata. Every line of code we add needs to be written and maintained. In addition users are already overloaded with information. So we really need to think twice about what we allow into the codebase.

I don't think we need this, so I'm being bold and WONTFIX this bug. Also per Lydia.
