From Bug 26085: The best way to make this 'work' is improvements to interlanguage links to make them clean metadata; then we can easily pull the same links from the subject page and show them on the talk page (actually, we could probably do that already -- pulling the recorded langlinks from the subject page). Though adjusting automatically to the matching talk page might take more workish. They should, however, always be a matched pair, not separately added.
What about Wikidata?
Ping.
Can you please clarify what we're supposed to do here? It is not clear what this bug is supposed to achieve.
Suppose Q1234567890 is linked to * [[en:Foo:Bar]] * [[fr:Foo:Bar]] * [[pt:Foo:Bar]] * ... In that case, each of the talk pages * [[en:Foo talk:Bar]] * [[fr:Foo talk:Bar]] * [[pt:Foo talk:Bar]] * ... should have the "Language" section in the sidebar, with links to the talk pages in the list (i.e. the talk pages of pages which are linked to Q1234567890). Unfortunatelly, the namespaces where this is more useful is precisely the ones Wikidata community decided not to link to any items: * User:Cross-wiki-vandal-fighter / User talk:Cross-wiki-vandal-fighter * MediaWiki:Gadget-very-useful.js / MediaWiki talk:Gadget-very-useful.js So, part of this feature request cannot be solved by Wikidata (User and MediaWiki namespaces), but the other part can.
Thanks for the explanation Helder. This makes sense now.
I just found a similar request (but for special pages instead of talk pages) at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat?oldid=90391621#Watchlists
Special pages are linked through Wikidata fine. The fact the community does not want to link special pages is the issue here, not wikibase capabilities. I suppose it could be done automatically though.
