Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Wikidata API/Items or Entities/reply

It was decided to let the current wbeditentity address the items this way even if it doesn't match up with properties and queries. I'm tempted to say that we should drop this addressing (that is sitelink) for all modules that sets something. It sort of makes sense for wbgetentities, but why would an external party not know the real identity of the item?
