Of course not, I do this all the time (I even wrote about it), but I don't have any idea how many non-wikipedians use the interwiki links in this manner. On the list of research projects I wish someone would get around to: I would love to know more about unexpected/atypical uses of the projects like this... I guess the reference desk is a similar feature, an unexpected service cropping up in the middle of the encyclopedia. I wonder what others there are. -- phoebe _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
