Description

Added direct links to Cradle's item creation forms in three locations across Paulina: the no-results page, the search results page, and the author works list. Users can now create missing authors and works in Wikidata without leaving their workflow.

Details of Changes

3) Works List Page

  • Changed the existing "Add it to Wikidata" link from pointing to the Wikidata homepage to the Cradle book/work creation form
Testing:

  • Click "Add it to Wikidata" link
  • Verify it opens Cradle work form (not Wikidata homepage)
