class="side-box-text" style="padding: 0;">It has been twelve days since the start of the discussion, and as of this closure, there are about 26 supporting comments versus 30 opposing comments. Supporters argue that the proposed filters could result in difficulty in accessing or uploading to Wikipedia and its sister projects, with one user comparing it to SOPA. Opposers argue that Wikipedia should not be used for political advocacies, or that the site should generally remain neutral in political affairs. Even if you ignore the !vote count, taking into account the discussion and the amount of feedback generated here (about half that of the ultimately unsuccessful NN banner RfC), there is at best no consensus to put up a banner as proposed. With that said, the WMF and Jimbo have stated that they have raised concerns about the proposed directive, particularly Article 13, and their position is noted. There was also a proposal to put up a neutrally-worded banner that would provide information about the directive without pushing any particular position of it. It was supported by some users from both the support and oppose sides, but ultimately there was not enough discussion on it to have any sort of consensus of approval either. With that said, the discussion leaves open the possibility towards proposing a neutrally-worded banner, which would then be the topic of a new discussion.

I did find one factual error though. Doctorow states, "Every file on Wikipedia is licensed for commercial use." A relatively large amount of copyrighted content is already used under fair use doctrine and is not licensed for commercial reuse. That said, this hardly rises to an existential threat. Worst case, some European sources get harder to find. I think Wikipedia could reasonably ignore most of what this is because it is US based and I seriously doubt that Europe has the political capital to block or fine Wikipedia. <a href="/wiki/User:Winner_42" title="User:Winner 42">Winner 42</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Winner_42" title="User talk:Winner 42">Talk to me!</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Winner_42-2018-06-08T17:18:00.000Z-John_Cummings-2018-06-07T19:54:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC)</a></li></ul></li></ul></li> <li>Oppose any political banners, as always. — <a href="/wiki/User:Godsy" title="User:Godsy">Godsy</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Godsy" title="User talk:Godsy">TALK</a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Godsy" title="Special:Contributions/Godsy">CONT</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Godsy-2018-06-05T03:44:00.000Z-Discussion_about_EU_banners" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:44, 5 June 2018 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Oppose As above and echoing the oppose votes for net neutrality banner further up.

I'll note that something does not need to be "partisan" to be political by my understanding and use of the word. First definition at m-w.com: "of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of government". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for political statements supported by a majority of the few editors who happen to show up in a discussion on this page. That's regardless of the merits of the issues or how Wikipedia might be affected by them. We are Wikipedia editors, not political activists (although each of us is free to be a political activist off-wiki). In my view, this proposal should go the way of the proposal to show an anti-Trump statement before the U.S. presidential election. Furthermore, I think we should consider an explicit policy against using the encyclopedia as a platform for political statements. ―<a href="/wiki/User:Mandruss" title="User:Mandruss">Mandruss</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mandruss" title="User talk:Mandruss">☎</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Mandruss-2018-06-07T21:13:00.000Z-Discussion_about_EU_banners" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:13, 7 June 2018 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Support per Guy Macon and Wnt. <a href="/wiki/User:Jc86035_(1)" title="User:Jc86035 (1)">Jc86035's alternate account</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jc86035_(1)" title="User talk:Jc86035 (1)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Jc86035_(1)-2018-06-08T06:43:00.000Z-Discussion_about_EU_banners" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:43, 8 June 2018 (UTC)</a> <ul><li>I will abstain from voting.

There is a preponderance of evidence that this political issue is an existential threat to Wiki and for that reason it is fine for us to take a political position. It is true that Wiki is "neutral" but neutrality is relative and rational and aligns with an ethical code. Our ethic code includes values like "publishing an encyclopedia" and "making the encyclopedia accessible". I feel that we have met an appropriate standard of evidence in this case, and I agree that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">WP:reliable sources</a> say that Wikimedia projects are facing an existential threat with this political issue. It is fine for us to advocate, lobby, and demand our right to develop and provide access to the encyclopedia we are sharing. I also feel that it is not necessary to settle any political controversy around this issue. I am willing to acknowledge the legitimacy of critics' concerns about our incomplete information on the law and lack of total certainty that this law is bad. For me, it is enough that we are diligent to cite reliable sources which confirm that some authorities have identified a danger.</li></ul> <dl><dd>I see "oppose" !votes which suggest that Wikipedia should avoid reacting to any country's legislative process as a way of achieving neutrality. I feel that this is misguided, because while Wikipedia is neutral about many topics, we always take a position that every country should allow Wikipedia, access to information, and the educational resources we provide. I will not entertain anyone's arguments that restricting access to Wikipedia should be part of the Wikipedia mission. There is no reason why we should expect that the law of every country is best for Wikipedia. It is fine for us to say that Wikipedia is basically good, and to expect that the laws conform to the existence of Wikipedia. Citizens like us make laws for the public good. People do not exist to conform to laws which fail to consider the public good. It is right to start with the assumption that Wikipedia is good and that good laws will encourage its development. <a href="/wiki/User:Bluerasberry" title="User:Bluerasberry"> Blue Rasberry </a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bluerasberry" title="User talk:Bluerasberry">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Bluerasberry-2018-06-08T21:31:00.000Z-Discussion_about_EU_banners" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:31, 8 June 2018 (UTC)</a></dd></dl> <ul><li>Strong support A lot of the oppose votes seem to come from editors who won't be affected by this legislation, which makes me question if they truly understand the potential consequences. Speaking as someone who will be, from what I understand of it (correct me if I'm wrong), it will make it nigh-on impossible to do anything more than trivial edits. We would no longer be able to upload fair use images, cite web sources, or even quote copyrighted material. How on Earth are we supposed to write decent articles with those restrictions? This could be detrimental to Wikipedia and those in the EU who wish to edit it. The WMF may not be bound by this legislation, but my ISP will be.

Possibly hundreds of such. The users got really scared, and I tried to figure out what was going on. After contacting the lawyering gang it took a weird turn: turned out they have used a company specialising in content filtering to scan millions of web images against their image catalog and flag copyvio [and have paid a helluva lotsa dinero for that], then started sending out harrassing mail en masse. The problem was, however, that their library ("accidentally") have included lots of images from Wikimedia Commons! So they have "claimed" their copyright, matched against, well, the originals then sent out the pay-or-get-sued mail. Obviously when they've been shown this they were hugely embarrassed and apologised and sent out correctional mail in the following weeks. Nevertheless, the harm's been done: some people left Wikipedia immediately and disappeared for ever. This is the same principle and technology They™ would like to enforce on Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, and apart from that basically everyone around your internet cable. Whether this is existencial or not… decide for yourself. Compulsory monitoring by copyright owners (not the authors, mind you)? Veto right for them? And we have to pay for that technology, implementation, and by the way accept all responsiblity for misfiltering, either way? I do not think that would get unnoticed in Wikipedia and Wikimedia operations. --<a href="/wiki/User:Grin" title="User:Grin">grin</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Grin" title="User talk:Grin">✎</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Grin-2018-06-11T07:57:00.000Z-Discussion_about_EU_banners" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:57, 11 June 2018 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Support.

This EU proposal is far more dangerous than any of the net neutrality debates, in a direct way to Wikipedia. Net Neutrality doesn't directly affect Wikipedia, but the changes to copyright that article 13 contains may make it impossible for Wikipedia to operate in the EU; the 'link tax' might completely shut down access to Wikipedia in Europe if enforced, and the rules for copyright basically eliminate fair use, making all the European branch language Wikis largely impossible. That is way more of a big deal than a bit of political activism. Please do not bandwagon this one, THINK. I was against the other net neutrality banners, but this is NOT THE SAME THING. I urge you guys to please reconsider, because this is not a partisan political issue in the EU, and that this is actually a potentially huge existential threat to Wikipedia itself.

That, in the future, Wikipedia will be inaccessible to EU citizens. However, I oppose the persuasive banner regardless of the consequences. If the citizens of the EU, acting through their MEPs, decide WP is not welcome in the EU we should respect their decision, not chain ourselves in the guest bedroom and demand to stay.

They are insulated by being (as an entity) based in the US, the material based in the US etc. This will not impact Wikipedia or any of the major encyclopedias in any significant manner. It will be an issue for editors in the EU but as to how much - that remains to be seen. What it is highly likely to totally fuck right up is Wikia - a site that routinely (and is in fact built around) violates copyright. And since Wikia is a for-profit cash-generating machine of a certain someone, who happens to live in the EU and so is subject to EU law, its not surprising they are 'concerned' about legislation that will directly impact that. <a href="/wiki/User:Only_in_death" title="User:Only in death">Only in death does duty end</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Only_in_death" title="User talk:Only in death">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Only_in_death-2018-06-06T10:10:00.000Z-Insertcleverphrasehere-2018-06-05T20:39:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:10, 6 June 2018 (UTC)</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Julia_Reda_AMA" data-mw-thread-id="h-Julia_Reda_AMA-Banner_in_EU_countries_explaining_dangerous_European_Parliament_copyright_propos-2018-06-05T14:03:00.000Z">Julia Reda AMA</h3></div> For those few interested, tomorrow <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://twitter.com/Senficon/status/1003997739213082624">Julia Reda</a> (one of the few defenders of the Internet within the EU politics), is doing an AMA tomorrow at 12:00 CEST on reddit <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/">https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/</a> —<a href="/wiki/User:TheDJ" title="User:TheDJ">TheDJ</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:TheDJ" title="User talk:TheDJ">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/TheDJ" title="Special:Contributions/TheDJ">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-TheDJ-2018-06-05T14:03:00.000Z-Julia_Reda_AMA" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:03, 5 June 2018 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>Looks like it has started: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/8oywxz/i_am_mep_julia_reda_fighting_to_saveyourinternet/">https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/8oywxz/i_am_mep_julia_reda_fighting_to_saveyourinternet/</a> --<a href="/wiki/User:Nemo_bis" title="User:Nemo bis">Nemo</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Nemo_bis-2018-06-06T11:29:00.000Z-TheDJ-2018-06-05T14:03:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)</a></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Article_outlining_the_threats_of_the_law_to_Wikimedia_projects" data-mw-thread-id="h-Article_outlining_the_threats_of_the_law_to_Wikimedia_projects-Banner_in_EU_countries_explaining_dangerous_European_Parliament_copyright_propos-2018-06-07T21:31:00.000Z">Article outlining the threats of the law to Wikimedia projects</h3></div> Cory @<a href="/wiki/User:Doctorow" title="User:Doctorow">Doctorow</a>: has written an article for Electronic Frontier Foundation that outline the threats posed by the law to Wikimedia projects and what can be done to oppose it: <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/eus-copyright-proposal-extremely-bad-news-everyone-even-especially-wikipedia">The EU's Copyright Proposal is Extremely Bad News for Everyone, Even (Especially!)

As it stands, there are other platforms that should be used to political lobbying and discussion instead of our collaborative encyclopedia. Moreover, of course, the Foundation could force Wikipedia to run a banner, and there'd be bobkes we could do about it, but they haven't; whilst one may see that as respecting the autonomy of our efforts here, I see that much in the same way GermanJoe and Ammarpad do: this isn't something that is wholly inimical to Wikipedia as a core threat to our mission and our future. Finally, as a standard matter of policy, we do not engage in political campaigning on the encyclopedia, and we do not allow campaigning or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ADVOCACY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ADVOCACY">WP:ADVOCACY</a> (our stance against SOPA and PIPA being a notable exception).

Even if the support comments were more numerous, considering the amount of participation here (far less than the unsuccessful net neutrality proposal a few months ago) and the narrow gap in numbers, it's becoming clear that there really doesn't seem to be consensus at this point to implement the banner as proposed. With that said, some users from both sides have stated that they are open to either a neutrally worded banner that merely discusses the proposal and its details, or a WMF-implemented banner. But from the looks of things, with discussion having slowed down over the past few days, it seems unlikely that the numbers are going to change. As such, I would suggest that this proposal be closed, albeit without prejudice against continuing discussion of the EU proposal itself elsewhere. <a href="/wiki/User:Narutolovehinata5" title="User:Narutolovehinata5">Narutolovehinata5</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Narutolovehinata5" title="User talk:Narutolovehinata5">t</a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Narutolovehinata5" title="Special:Contributions/Narutolovehinata5">c</a><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">csd</a><a href="/wiki/Special:NewPages" title="Special:NewPages">new</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Narutolovehinata5-2018-06-17T06:56:00.000Z-Time_to_close?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:56, 17 June 2018 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>Yes time to close I think. —<a href="/wiki/User:TheDJ" title="User:TheDJ">TheDJ</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:TheDJ" title="User talk:TheDJ">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/TheDJ" title="Special:Contributions/TheDJ">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-TheDJ-2018-06-17T08:32:00.000Z-Narutolovehinata5-2018-06-17T06:56:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:32, 17 June 2018 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>Agree, clearly there's no consensus. <a href="/wiki/User:Teratix" title="User:Teratix">Tera</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Teratix" title="User talk:Teratix">TIX</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Teratix-2018-06-17T11:24:00.000Z-TheDJ-2018-06-17T08:32:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:24, 17 June 2018 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>A neutrally-worded banner, moreover, still announces to the world that we believe it a really important thing about which tons of people need to know; the details of the wording wouldn't affect the fact that its mere presence is non-neutral. <a href="/wiki/User:Nyttend" title="User:Nyttend">Nyttend</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nyttend" title="User talk:Nyttend">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Nyttend-2018-06-17T11:34:00.000Z-Teratix-2018-06-17T11:24:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:34, 17 June 2018 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>Also support close at this time.

Even (especially?) experienced editors are indoctrinated to never ever mess with others' talk page comments, so I think adding such a message to the (already transcluded) template would have an effect beyond just "stating the obvious". I suspect the "precision" you find missing in the framing of this RfC is due to an attempt at brevity and neutrality from someone who has never constructed an RfC before. I hope that tradeoff won't make necessary restarting it entirely. --<a href="/wiki/User:Xover" title="User:Xover">Xover</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Xover" title="User talk:Xover">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Xover-2018-05-31T06:16:00.000Z-Johnuniq-2018-05-31T00:52:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:16, 31 May 2018 (UTC)</a></li></ul></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <ul><li>oppose; per above.

I manually remove these on "my" articles if they happen to annoy me (clutter), and see no reason why others should not feel free to do the same, with or without "permission" from the template message. Changing the message to explicitly allow this (subject to normal local consensus), provided it is backed by community consensus in this RfC, has effectively zero cost and mainly reaffirms the status quo. Mass removing them by bot seems excessive for the problem: they're just a bit of clutter, and we have a ton of that in various other forms. Better to avoid the watchlist noise and potential for wikidrama such mass edits can engender. I would not, however, be opposed if consensus was to bot-remove them: I just don't think it's a big enough deal either way to feel strongly about it. (PS.

However it is totally free for readers and editors voluntarily edit articles. Therefore its contribution to the economy is not captured in standard macroeconomic measures. In this project, we would like to quantify the economic value obtained by editors by editing Wikipedia. Moreover, we would also like to understand the various motivations which make Wikipedians edit Wikipedia.

The reason why I see those words as sexual terms is because they have pornographic meanings, one of those words which means ‘an enlarged and rigid state of the penis, typically in sexual excitement.’.

We don't censor words or terms that others may have problems with. If it bothers someone that much, then maybe the Internet isn't the place for them. Either that or avoid such articles. The latter three also aren't specifically in reference to the penis and are also used when talking about building something, for example. None of those, however, have pornographic meanings. They came before pornography. They happen in pornography, sure, but they aren't pornographic. A lot of meanings words have now we've attached to them. Garbage, for example, isn't gross.

The discussion concerned whether {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Authority_control" title="Template:Authority control">authority control</a>}} should link to Wikidata, and if so, how. Opponents of Wikidata link inclusion opined that we shouldn't put a present to readers a big invitation to edit authority control identifiers, and that users familiar to Wikipedia and Wikidata already know where to find the Wikidata link on the left. However, the rough consensus trends towards inclusion of a Wikidata link, the main arguments being to link to where the information is stored and to standardise with other templates pulling Wikidata. Among the many linking options, editors have different preferences, and <a href="/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem" title="Arrow's impossibility theorem">Arrow's impossibility theorem</a> means that I, the discussion closer, won't be able to pin down one option based solely on the comments expressed here.

The Wikidata item page is where an editor may add/remove/correct authority information on a person/entity. A common complaint against {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Authority_control" title="Template:Authority control">Authority control</a>}} is that the template (and thus Wikidata) contains information on the wrong subject, or that the links are useless, or the associated link is broken, or frustration from how/where to correct it (there are other complaints as well, but they are outside the scope of this discussion). This proposal/survey seeks to allow editors to more easily access the Wikidata item linked to the Wikipedia page to make such additions/removals/corrections. While gaining some support, it has been suggested at <a href="/wiki/Template_talk:Authority_control#Adding_Wikidata_item_link_to_aid_navigation" title="Template talk:Authority control">Template talk:Authority control#Adding Wikidata item link to aid navigation</a> to poll a larger audience, so voilà. A 'Wikidata item' link exists on the left hand margin of any Wikipedia page which currently has a Wikidata item associated with it, similar to commons, wikiquote, wikisource, wikispecies, etc. Also similar is our placement of a 2nd link to commons, wikiquote, wikisource, wikispecies, etc. at the bottom of the page in the external links, to aid navigation and visibility. So the addition of a 2nd link to Wikidata would be in line with current behavior. This will not affect dormant transclusions of {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Authority_control" title="Template:Authority control">Authority control</a>}}; i.e. those which do not display on the page.

There is no need for a WikiData link, especially since we now transclude most from WD (at least up to 22 per subject are transcluded, up to 43 possible). WD is NOT an authority, and anyway it is already linked from the toolbox. There is no ‘one size fits all’, on many articles, both the in-AC link ánd the link in the toolbox will be visible at the same time on one physical computer landscape oriented screen.

The link to Commons is in the toolbox, anddisplaying it so prominently in this case suggests that there is more to get on Commons. However, commons in this case has just three other cropped immages of the same as in the article - nothing to ADD. For much of WD (we are set to transclude 43, we sometimes display up to 22), the WD link has NOTHING TO ADDin terms of authority control (and there are enough requests to have more parameters to be added ...). The inclusion at the bottom should be a choice, not a standard for the 10s of thousands of articles that have an AC.

Subjects get, within its capabilities, assigned a unique number, but anyone can create a subject, anyone can put whatever they want in it. By that datamodel, without proper authorized peer review, it is not an authority. That is fully in line with discussions going on elsewhere. Note: if we call WikiData ID as an authorative number, then The PageID of every page here on en.wikipedia is, by that same reason, an authorative ID. In short, not everything that assigns an ID is an authority.

The reason given as a "con" is actually a "pro". We don't have the WD link in other templates that are filled way too often from Wikidata (official website, commons cat, ...).

Adding yet another link and another undecipherable code after a meaningless abbreviation is not the way to go. If not option 4, then whatever, but definitely not option 1.

I think we've generally established that a template pulling from Wikidata should provide in the context of the template a way to edit the content at Wikidata (this is how <a href="/wiki/Module:Wikidata" title="Module:Wikidata">Module:Wikidata</a> functions broadly). OTOH, I don't think any of the options above provides the call to action in the way that Module:Wikidata does presently (the little pencil icon). I would prefer to see that here rather than the Wikidata ID or even the nomenclature for Wikidata.Regarding the specific proposals: Some Pencil Icon Version > 2Wikidata > 2. I'm partial to 2Wikidata for a non-Wikidata-specific related improvement. That said, I believe the intent is for the template to provide the links internally so that people who are curious about any particular identifier can understand (with some level of encyclopedicity) what it is they would end up looking at without taking up oodles of space with the template where it is provided (by use of the abbreviations). I'm not sure if those links are so valuable in fact or not, and I might suggest the general link to <a href="/wiki/Authority_control" title="Authority control">authority control</a>/<a href="/wiki/Help:Authority_control" title="Help:Authority control">help:authority control</a> suffices for "hey, what is this template doing? what are these links here for?" rather than specific links to each of the authority controls. That leaves me somewhere in the realm of option 2 as a last resort. Flat rejects: 2Wd for previous comments, 2Q per sea of blue rationale, 4 per first paragraph, 1 per con listed, and 3 because I have a specific preference. --<a href="/wiki/User:Izno" title="User:Izno">Izno</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Izno" title="User talk:Izno">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_150#c-Izno-2018-06-06T13:14:00.000Z-AC_Wikidata_item_link_survey" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:14, 6 June 2018 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Option 2pencil (per <a href="/wiki/User:Izno" title="User:Izno">Izno</a>) or Option 2edit .

There is a large overlap between those links being shown and the sister project templates also being included (far from 100%, since there are many cases where those templates have not been added even if the link does exist, and there are templates that provide a link where it's not an interwiki on Wikidata). Of course, if a link doesn't exist, then it can't be shown, which is the case in the examples you have given here. Meanwhile, nearly every Wikipedia entry has a corresponding Wikidata entry, so you see that link in the sidebar far more often.
