</div>But why would you prefer such a vague and error-prone style of linking<br>
when unambiguous linking via ID is possible?<br>
<br>
Even in very simple cases this is going to break down. Searching for<br>
"flag Austria" on Wikimedia Commons, for example, gives you the<br>
following top three hits:<br>
<br>
1. <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Animated-Flag-Austria.gif" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Animated-Flag-Austria.gif</a><br>
2. <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_Austria_template.gif" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_Austria_template.gif</a><br>
3. <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smile-flag_Austria.gif" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smile-flag_Austria.gif</a><br>
<br>
The one we actually want is only ranked fourth:<br>
<br>
4. <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Austria.svg" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Austria.svg</a><br>
<br>
Wikidata, on the other hand, gets us straight to the one we want. How<br>
isn't this the better solution?<br>
