Find a way to associate Wikipedia article sections with Wikidata items
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Some Wikipedias combine topics in one single article page, and that makes hard to connect each one of this distinct concepts with Wikidata, specially considering that other Wikipedias might use other type of associating these concepts.

One possible solution is to use redirects in the sitelinks, but this option is disliked because redirects might not link to the specific concept or might stop working over time.

Another possible solution could be to link to stable section identifiers in the article page as Parsoid seems to be implementing:

More ideas and comments are welcome.

I have the same reservations to this as to the redirects. In fact I like this even less. Sorry :(
