The repo should have a license to provide users with clarity about what they can do with it. Since the repo is meant to be shared as widely as possible,...

Include more information in the clustering

Enable navigation by P4510 (describes a project that uses) statements

More and more publication items are being annotated with [ describes a project that uses (P4510) ](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P4510) statements ([quick overview](https://scholia.toolforge.org/P4510)), and these are helpful for author disambiguation in much the...

Make the "Name/id mismatch" warnings more actionable

Build a gadget that links to the Author Disambiguator from the Wikidata UI view of a publication item

1

e.g. the "Ryusuke Kakigi" in https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q58106042&oldid=805692002#P2093 would link to https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/?name=Ryusuke+Kakigi&doit=Look+for+author&limit=500&filter=wdt%3AP2093+%22Ryusuke+Kakigi%22 or https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/?name=Ryusuke+Kakigi&doit=Look+for+author&limit=500 (ideally in a way that the user can configure)

e.g. https://github.com/arthurpsmith/author-disambiguator/blob/master/work_item_oauth.php#L297 should link to https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/organization/Q695267/missing if the employer listed is Q695267.
