Reason for merge?[edit]

@Mike Peel:, I'd be interested in your reasoning for merging this item into Jaguar Cars (Q30055). As far as I understand it, we can only associate one Wikipedia article (by language) to each Wikidata item, and only one Wikidata item to each Wikipedia article. This item was created because en:Jaguar Cars covers the content of two separate topics (it has both a brand and a company infobox): Jaguar (Q26742231) and Jaguar Cars (Q30055). Do you have an alternative solution for how this situation should be accommodated? Also, what would you imagine is the purpose for the Wikipedia article covering multiple topics (Q21484471) item?

@DeFacto: It doesn't make sense to have a separate item for that, the setup of having the main article link here and the redirect link in Jaguar (Q26742231) seems fine to me. I think you only need a third item if there is a conflict with the sitelinks. In any case, the specific issue I had was that enwp and commons:Category:Jaguar Cars should link to each other, which they didn't do with the previous setup: rather than moving the commons sitelink over, which would then break links from other wikis, the logical thing to do seemed to merge them back together.
