[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T102417: Give Commons its own Wiki box rather than forcing it under Other sites
Nikki added a comment. On https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Other_sites two suggestions were "other Wikimedia sites" and "other sister sites".

daniel added a comment. @Reguyla Of course it would not make sense to split commons by language. But it doesn't make sense to have a section for just one project, either. It did not even occur to me that other may be interpreted as non-WMF. It's intended to mean other than Wikipedia and Wikivoyage and Wikisource and so on. Do you have a suggestion for a better name?

Mike_Peel added a comment. Having a separate box for Commons would make it a lot clearer that commons links can be added in the same way that other sister sites can be. It would be nice if we could include two links, one to the page and one to the category, where relevant. There may also be relevant sub-categories (e.g., categories for the British Museum; the outside of the British Museum; the inside of it; and so forth), although I'm not sure how well that would work in practice. Which other wikis are included in the 'other' category? Would something like Other Wikimedia projects work, or are there non-Wikimedia projects that are also included? (BTW, for most single-language speakers, the benefits of having different sites for Wikivoyage etc. aren't too obvious, until you realise that they're intended mostly for inter-language links!)

Reguyla added a comment. @Daniel, I don't really have a suggestion for renaming the box from Other wiki's but when I think of Other wiki's I think of Shoutwiki and Wikia, not other WMF projects. Maybe I'm the only one, but that seems rather confusing to me. Also, the argument that Commons is a singleton project, to me, doesn't really apply. Commons, by its very design was made so that all the projects, regardless of language, could link to its content. It wouldn't make sense for it to by split up by language because that would defeat its purpose. But I don't think that should be used as an argument to treat it as though its not a real WMF project just because its one of about three that are multilingual and not split up.

daniel added a subscriber: daniel. daniel added a comment. Having a separate box or section for a single site doesn't make sense. Commons is a singleton project, like meta, not a family, so a section isn't useful for grouping. It has nothing to do with how often it appears, or how big or important the project is. Perhaps this can be resolved by changing the caption from Other wikis to something else? Do you have a suggestion?
