Description

Wikidata has a large amount of data. Its quality is important. In order to keep it that way we need to build two feedback loops:

data from Wikidata is used somewhere and users there find issues. They should be able to report errors to us easily.
data from somewhere else is imported into Wikidata or compared with data in Wikidata and we find issues in the source data. We need ways to feed back these errors to their source.

Research questions:

What does a good workflow look like?
What do Wikidata editors and data consumers want?
How does this all play together with existing tools like the Wikidata Quality extension's check against 3rd party databases and the Primary Sources Tool?

I start to do the research and concept work for this

You could collect, and count to estimate synthesises, some diffs types:
Diffs of items between pages corresponding in inter-languages wikis in a same wikiproject and not corresponding in wikibase
Diffs of properties used in pages corresponding in inter-languages wikis and not corresponding in wikibase
Diffs of properties used in pages corresponding in wikibase wikis and not corresponding in inter-languages
Diffs of properties values in pages corresponding in wikibase wikis and in inter-languages
Use existence of diffs to display a short alert for any user who change any query of data from wikibase.
For users who want try to correct, display detailed synthesis of diffs and their types.
If the number of diff is small ( n<4 for simple diffs? or n<2 for complex diffs? ) display detailed diffs themselves.

Use existence of diffs to give at scribunto modules:

Detailed diffs and synthesises at all levels for users.
In transtable i18n keys to any languages.

I have finished the concept work and handed it over to @Lydia_Pintscher

Where to find documents and articles related this task?

@Rical, I have created a presentation for explaining the concept work. You can find it in the attachment. Do let me know if you have any questions!

This post is out of scope, but I search the right place for this goal:
I'm assigned to the task T141177: "Wikipedia main content losts sources because too reverts, try to preserve them".
Then I need to know if the estimation of Wikipedia main content sources are already take in account in ORES. Thanks in advance for your attention.
