Hello All, I just filed a feature request which I think is of strategic interest to Wikipedia:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33889 Bug 33889 - Request to add a comment section under every Wikipedia article By providing a comment section under every Wikipedia article, we can enable people interested in that topic to talk with each other, make friends and exchange external resources pertaining to that topic (e.g. books, products, jobs, external references, etc.). Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia; it is also a very valuable "topic navigation and positioning service" that navigates you to any conceivable topic in your mind, and once you're at that topic's Wikipedia article, the article's URL becomes a unique address that "positions" that topic. With this position, we can do many useful things (such as the ones mentioned in the previous paragraph), just like we can do many useful things with a geographic information system (GIS) such as Google Earth. There are many MediaWiki extensions that can add a comment section to every Wikipedia article. Just go to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Matrix/AllExtensions and search for "comment" or "discussion". Best Regards, Ziyuan Yao _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
