Description KuboF 2014-08-20 16:51:42 UTC 
When linking page from WikibaseClient, the widget show list of connected pages only by language and the page name. As more clients are conneted to repo, can appear list of same languages with same page name with no possibility to distinguish them but hovering cursor over link.

There should be mentioned the project too.

Comment 2 Marius Hoch 2014-08-28 03:14:05 UTC 
Mh... I'm not even sure we actually want to show links to other projects in there... is that confusing to unexperienced users that only know about Wikipedia? Or do we maybe want to sort them by project/ Make a section per project like on repo?
Comment 3 Lydia Pintscher 2014-09-25 12:03:42 UTC 
Could we offer the same project by default and have some "show other projects" link or something?

The item is linked there anyway... so just showing links to the other Wikis of the same group would be ok?
Comment 6 Lydia Pintscher 2014-09-26 12:10:00 UTC 
I don't see a link in the dialog. The text should probably be clearer too.

I just looked at this again. The text is: "The page you have chosen is already associated to an item on our central data repository. Please confirm that the pages shown below are the ones that you want to link to this page." (Where "item on our central data repository" is linked to the item).

So... what should we do here? Only show links to other pages of the same project? Show everything with a project column? Make other projects expandable (more work)? ...?

For me, the clearest way for new users is to show links to others projects in a section expandable (default closed).
