There is an English version of the whole proposal for Wikidata. The German
abstract mentioned in Comment 88 is indeed just the translation of the English
abstract.

There has been a related discussion on this started at:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Projektdiskussion/Wikidata
German Wikipedia users discuss here what they expect from a central data
repository, off course from the (mainly) wikipedians point of view.

Pitifully at this moment no english abstract available.

It is on the review queue:

but I think the problems mentioned on r82778#code-comments were fixed in
subsequent revisions.

I don't know the current status of the Server-side migration script mentioned

I really love the idea of the extension, and think that this will reduce
dramatically maintenance efforts on the Wikipedias.

My concern is that it's design has redundancy, and it is unclear what it means
if the two sides get out of sync.

The local wiki states on page Y:

{{interlanguage:X}}

and the central wiki then links back to Y. So the information that X maps to Y
is still saved at two places (which is still better then the current situation,
where this information is saved in (n = number of language) places instead of
merely in two).

A system that merely uses 

{{interlanguage}}

would work, since the central wiki knows the page when it makes the request.

Don't regard this as a blocker though, just mentioning how to make it even
simpler.

Per Erik's request, I have made a design pass for the interface of this
extension.  It describes an ideal situation, with notes about minimal
improvement.

Thanks, Brandon. I agree with all your design recommendations. The main
additional point I would make is that it may be more desirable to work towards
an inline editor (adds a row with editable cells right on the page) rather than
a modal pop-up editor.

From a deployment standpoint, can we target having the minimally improved edit
links (per Brandon's spec) and the minimally improved table display (already in
Tim's list)?

For the table, if we have fields like Notes or Descriptions, we'll need a
standardized wiki markup representation so that it can be cleanly manipulated
either through a UI or through wikitext.

Regarding the wiki, I'll go on record as saying that I'd still prefer data.*
because it'll avoid renaming nightmares later (and it's quite likely that we'll
end up overloading the project with additional features given its currently
very narrow scope), but I'll leave it at that to avoid bikeshedding. :-)

(In reply to comment #78)
 Idea: The interlanguage wiki domain can be named http://mul.wikipedia.org .
 mul is the ISO 639 code for multiple languages.

In case we created a single wiki for all projects, it would be
mul.wikimedia.org; otherwise, this would block bug 13334 for Wikisource and
Wikiversity, but this bug is obviously much higher priority.

I like Erik's suggestion (comment #62) of data.wikimedia.org, since the central
repository could later be enhanced with the ability to share other stuff
(tabular data for infoboxes, etc). I assume that wouldn't be incompatible with
the changes introduced to mediawiki by the Interlanguage extension.

I've reviewed it again, see CR. In brief, here's what I need before deployment:

* setProperty()/getProperty() in the content wikis.
* A LinksUpdate hook in the central wiki.
* Table-based content display on the central wiki, per the meta straw poll.

I'm asking Brandon to take a quick additional look at this from an interaction
design perspective.

Nikola, thanks for making the suggested change. I would also suggest pointing
the link directly to action=edit -- yes, there may be permission issues, but
for frequent link workers it's probably preferable to have that additional edit
action removed from the workflow. And many of the permission issues can IMO be
addressed by adding the new link wiki to the auto-login list.

So, in r84997 I have added support for the load balancer. In previous revisions
I have (hopefully) fixed all the objections that Tim raised in his code review,
or came to the point where further changes in MediaWiki are required to fix
them. A new review might be in order.

 This is already implemented. You can see it on the test wiki:
 http://enwiki.smolenski.rs/index.php?title=Belgradeaction=edit
 
 There's a link at the bottom under the title Pages with interlanguage links.

When I follow that blue link at the bottom, and get to the central wiki page,
and it does not yet exist, there is a red link as well in the article or
article preview. When I follow the red link, I get to another central wiki page
named ZZ Top?action=edit for instance.

There is a need to treat URLs differently, depending on whether or not an ?
is already present in them, before appending another one.

Amir, I'm glad there's a link, but from a usability standpoint this is a pretty
terrible implementation. In order to follow that link you have to a) notice it
in a place that's already fairly cluttered, b) make the mental connection
between interlanguage links and the links that _aren't even visible_ while
editing the page. Moreover, the passive Pages with interlanguage links does
not suggest any action that can be taken, and indeed, takes me to a view page
which then separately has to be edited.

I would strongly suggest putting an edit link at the bottom of the language
links instead when the page is rendered. Yes, there may be edge cases where
multiple such links need to be rendered, but let's not design for edge cases.
Yes, the user may not have rights to edit, but again, let's not design for edge
cases -- it's more efficient to send them to action=edit, even if that's a
view source page in a few rare circumstances.

I can add the edit links to the bottom of the toolbox if that is desirable, but
adding them to the bottom of the language links would require a new MediaWiki
hook so it can't be done as an extension at this point.

Regarding use for multiple projects, it is possible to do it in multiple ways
with slight tweaks. For example, it would be very easy to make each project use
a disambiguation word after a title, and you wouldn't have to type it in on the
project (so on Wikipedia {{interlanguage:category:dog}} fetches the links from
central wiki article [[Category:Dog (Wikipedia)]] and on Wiktionary
{{interlanguage:category:dog}} fetches the links from central wiki article
[[Category:Dog (Wiktionary)]]. Having each project in its separate namespaces
would also be possible but more difficult.

(In reply to comment #63)
 
 Since external namespace names do not play any role on the central wiki, we do
 not need any for interlanguage linking. Thus, we can use namespaces on the
 central wiki to distinguish various kinds of interlanguage links.

Just to clarify: This is not to be misunderstood, I am proposing to keep all
kinds of name space links intermingled in ONE namespace in the central wiki -
after all, name spaces are crosslinked interwikiwise at times, e.g. Portal with
(main), or Help and Project are common examples, so we cannot avoid
crossnamespace links anyways.

I do NOT, however, propose to add a central wiki namespace name in the
{#interwiki...} syntax on individual project wikis. The central wiki namespace
name, if any, should be set once per project wiki when the extension is
installed, and should be implicit from a users standpoint of view. I suggest
using what the pywikipediabot framework calls wiki family for the central
wiki namespace name, but that's a different subject matter.

[Bug 15607] Implement the Interlanguage extension in Wikipedia

I think deploying to Wikipedia-only without significant feature additions makes
sense for now; that'll give us some real-world usage characteristics. 

But, is there a reason to not add at least a manage links link to the bottom
of the language link list of any page that has the {{#interlanguage}}
invocation, pointing to the relevant page? IMO this is a deployment blocker
because without it, the external management interface is not discoverable at
all. Also, if we do deploy, I would suggest putting this new wiki into the list
of auto-login wikis.

This is already implemented. You can see it on the test wiki:
http://enwiki.smolenski.rs/index.php?title=Belgradeaction=edit

There's a link at the bottom under the title Pages with interlanguage links.

1) What's the proposed name of the central repository? I would suggest
something like data.wikimedia.org so we can potentially expand it in future for
other cross-project data sharing.

2) Would this be used for the non-article namespace? If so I assume we'd have
to make sure that the central repository has equivalents for all namespaces
that are commonly used (including things like Portal:).

3) Would this be used for InterProject links? Potentially any link list could
point to any Wikimedia project, and the script could filter it down to
something appropriate. For example, if the link lists includes all the
Wikipedia articles for Dog, plus all the Wiktionary entries, on the English
Wikipedia it could pull the Wikipedia interlanguage links + English Wiktionary,
on the German Wikipedia it could pull the German Wikipedia interlanguage links
+ German Wiktionary, etc.

It seems wise to start with Wikipedia only, but I think it's worth thinking
about the other projects now. We almost certainly don't want an interlanguage
link wiki for each of the multilingual Wikimedia projects, IMO. Bug 708 is also
one of the most popular feature requests.

4) Finally, on the user experience side, in addition to formatting the links in
the content area (see
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/A_newer_look_at_the_interlanguage_link/Central_wiki_style_straw_poll
), I think we'll need to think about how you access the link list in the first
place. IMO an edit link in the sidebar that pops up an editing interface on the
local wiki would be preferable to sending people to an external site.

Since external namespace names do not play any role on the central wiki, we do
not need any for interlanguage linking. Thus, we can use namespaces on the
central wiki to distinguish various kinds of interlanguage links. Such as the
namespaces Wikipedia:, or Wikipedia-Interlanguage: for the interlanguage
links between Wikipedias, and the namespace Wiktionary: for those between
Wiktionaries, etc.

 1) What's the proposed name of the central repository? I would suggest
 something like data.wikimedia.org so we can potentially expand it in future 
 for
 other cross-project data sharing.

I'm not aware of any proposal. The current software makes it necessary to have
one wiki per second-level domain.

 2) Would this be used for the non-article namespace? 

The software won't restrict it to the main namespace, so yes, I imagine it will
be used for other namespaces.

 3) Would this be used for InterProject links? 

No.

 Potentially any link list could
 point to any Wikimedia project, and the script could filter it down to
 something appropriate. For example, if the link lists includes all the
 Wikipedia articles for Dog, plus all the Wiktionary entries, on the English
 Wikipedia it could pull the Wikipedia interlanguage links + English 
 Wiktionary,
 on the German Wikipedia it could pull the German Wikipedia interlanguage links
 + German Wiktionary, etc.

Sure, anything's possible, with sufficient software development resources. But
such resources have not materialised, so I'm just looking to enable this
extension with a few minor tweaks.

If we need to have a stopgap solution, I'd prefer it to be implemented in a way
that doesn't lock us in to a particular architecture going forward. We are
talking about having a special syntax for interlanguage link references in
articles:

{{#interlanguage: Pied Currawong}}

As long as we stick with something simple like that, and don't expose
implementation details to the users on the content wikis, then we can easily
change the data source in the future.

In particular, I don't want to see:

{{#interlanguage: Wikipedia-Interlanguage:Pied Currawong}}

 4) Finally, on the user experience side, in addition to formatting the links 
 in
 the content area (see
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/A_newer_look_at_the_interlanguage_link/Central_wiki_style_straw_poll
 ), I think we'll need to think about how you access the link list in the first
 place. IMO an edit link in the sidebar that pops up an editing interface on 
 the
 local wiki would be preferable to sending people to an external site.

Sure, it's possible, if resources can be allocated for it. Note that there will
be a need for policy, review and access control. Nothing is ever simple on a
wiki.

We can't enable extensions that don't allow DB replication and load balancing.
CentralAuth and the commons file repo were migrated to use LBFactory long ago.
This extension seems to be based on those modules before they were migrated. 

Basically, instead of configuring complete DB constructor parameters, you just
need a DB name, and the rest is done in $wgLBFactoryConf. Then to get a
connection, use:

$lb = wfGetLB( $dbname );
$dbw = $lb-getDB( DB_MASTER, array(), $dbname );
$dbr = $lb-getDB( DB_SLAVE, array(), $dbname );

To be a bit more verbose, in r82539 and now in r82778 I believe I have fixed
all the issues raised by other developers to r74204 and r74208. Now someone
needs to review the fixes, review the new feature (reading links from a foreign
database), and if everything is all right, let's see what is the next step.

Also, Henk's userpage now works :)

It is not broken. I am developing a new version, that reads the data directly
from the database, and not via the API (it is enabled on enwiki and srwiki
IIRC). However, while API version supports reading from various namespaces on
the central wiki, the database version does not.

Now, the question is should the central wiki keep all the interlanguage links
in its main namespace, or should it keep them in their appropriate namespaces?
For example, should the template namespace on the central wiki be used for
interlanguage links between templates in dependent wikis, or should it be used
exclusively for templates of the central wiki, and interlanguage links between
templates be kept in the main namespace?

For sure the central wiki will also have Users, Categories, Templates etc. that
should have interwikis to the language wikis.

It is not essential that the interlanguage links are stored on other
namespaces, but it would be easier for those cases to link to User:Xxxx instead
of creating an additional page User-Xxxx or so to link to. 

Furthermore the page User:Xxxx on the central wiki should have also
{{interlanguage:User-Xxxx}} to be able to really have one central page for
maintaining the interlanguages.

That is possible and would require minimal adjustments to the extension.
Probably it is also possible for someone who is more versed in Javascript than
me to make a gadget for this like there is a gadget for editing categories.

However, at this point I would first like to know whether other developers and
admins think that the extension is technically good enough to be used, whether
the WMF is willing to create a new project, what would be the plan for the
extension's deployment, and then we could see what are the finishing touches.

Nikola, it is not convenient to have to edit the page in order to get to the
corresponding interlanguage link page. I suggest you add an option in the
preferences which will allow the user to add a link to said page also in the
in other langs box (at the end, perhaps).

on a diff topic, some wikis choose their own order of the interlanguage links.
for instance, a wiki would like to have en first, then ru, the ar, and then the
rest in alphabetic order according to name. Thus, i suggest a system page be
created in which you can define the order of the links. i.e.
[[wikimedia:interlanguage links order]]:
* en
* ru
* ar
* rest
the extention will take this wikisite prefernce into account when adding links
to pages. rest can indicate that the rest of the langes should follow,
otherwise, only the listed langs be shown.

Nikola, good job.

It is no less convenient than editing interlanguage links is now, and putting
the edit link on the in other langs box would be much more difficult.

It is possible to set custom sort order by using the
$wgInterlanguageExtensionSortPrepend variable. This isn't something that wikis
change very often, so I don't think there is need for a MediaWiki page.

 What I miss is the possiblity to edit or link to the list of interwiki when 
 you
 are for instance on [http://enwiki.smolenski.rs/index.php?title=Los_Serrano 
 Los
 Serano on enwiki]. 
 I woild suggest some kind of link or button at the In other languages box at
 tah page.

I think that the best idea would be to have on the editing page, like links to
template pages: When you edit a page, you see a list of links to templates that
it uses below the editing pane. Add a link to the interwiki list there.

This is actually the first thing that i wrote on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:A_newer_look_at_the_interlanguage_link

(Curiosity: If you google for a newer look, that page is the first result.)

 I could add the edit link, but I have no idea where to put it, how should it
 work (only for registered users?) or how should it look like...

It should work for everybody as unregistered users should be able to understand
the interwiki's as well, and they are allowed to edit them too.

I would suggest to link the In other laguages text to

What I miss is the possiblity to edit or link to the list of interwiki when you
are for instance on [http://enwiki.smolenski.rs/index.php?title=Los_Serrano Los
Serano on enwiki]. 
I woild suggest some kind of link or button at the In other languages box at
tah page.

I have solved the problem of automatic updates. I have made another extension,
called Interlanguage Central extension, that works in pair with Interlanguage
extension and purges appropriate pages on dependent wikis when interlanguage
links are changed on the central wiki.

The source code is on
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Interlanguage#Source and it is
installed on http://testwiki.smolenski.rs

 To solve the no automatic updates problem, why not pull the interlanguage
 links into each translated article using AJAX, without caching? The page will
 render quickly, while the interlanguage links fill in afterward.

Good idea! The javascript do not need to be executed if the interwiki section
is collapsed. And if JavaScript is not running, a link to the interwiki page
should be displayed instead. The Dan Barrett solution is probably solving the
update issue, isn't it?

I just came across the Interwiki extension and we tried it in my company. The
idea is GREAT, but the lack of automatic updates is VERY confusing for authors,
particularly for translators. When new interlanguage links don't show up in
articles, people think the wiki is broken.

 Any thoughts on implementing this?  It is as badly needed as ever.  I tried to
 explain to a coder at LibrePlanet yesterday how we handly interwiki linking,
 and his head almost exploded.

Actually a few days ago i had a chat with Nikola, the developer of the
extension, and he explained to me in human terms the technical problems that
are related to the implementation of this extension, most importantly - that
the links on the language wikis may not be updated after they are changed on
the interlanguage wiki.

This, however, doesn't seem to me half as bad as the current situation with the
horrible, endless, sisyphean bot work and the need to solve all conflicts
manually - a task that needs to be done, but that only a handful of people dare
to do.

I agree with most of the recent posters : this is a most useful improvement.  I
hope it gets tested and implemented soon, at least on the small wikis. 

1. the overhead of handling bot requests on small wikis, for nothing but
interwiki link fixing, is sufficiently large that there is separate global-bot
policy addressing it and making their bot flagging more automatic.  of course
those bots can still misfire, and you want to be able to see what bot edits are
being made to actual content and userpages rather than to interwiki lists at
the end of content -- having a separate wiki where all these edits can be made
together and can have a more limited impact would be handy.

2. We will surely update how this process works over time.  It has been broken
for many years; we can at least begin to fix it in this way, which many would
welcome.

3. It makes sense to me to have a single community / area where everyone doing
interwiki link maintenance cna see one another's changes, have their own RC,
and discuss interwiki policy across wikis.  This will stop flooding small wikis
and also create a mroe sustainabile community among the hundreds of people
running related bots today -- which you can discover by visiting the village
pump of any poor small wiki which is overrun with english-language 'requests'
for bot flags, also flooding the bot-flagging process on meta.

If this implement can be added slowly - we need to start it now. Test it in
languages projects - we need discussion to begin implementation, we need
example to begin discussion - example which most of users can understand -

 Look at a version history like
 http://nds.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burkina_Fasoaction=history. It's
 ridiculous! Between the creation of the article and the most recent update
 there were 75[!] bot edits just interrupted by three human edits. Between 
 March
 2007 and February 2009 there were 52[!] consecutive bot edits. And I did no
 long search for the most extreme example, the same is true for most country
 articles and all articles which are likely to have many translations.

 See also bug 16228 (filter history of edits on bots (hidebots=1)).

But:
1. Still many interwiki edits are done by scripts without bot flag,
unfortunately. I usually block such bots at os.wiki, if they edit too much, the
practice I've borrowed from Tajik admins.
2. Another frequent case is human interwiki change by guests from other wikis:
a man comes just to change an interwiki -- then why we have it in the history
and why we need to check this edit (before you see the diff, such edits are
always suspicious for vandalism).

I don't want the bots hidden - i want them to stop doing it and to move to
centralized interwiki management. In fact, in the current state of affairs, i
very much do want to see what the bots are doing, because sometimes they are
not doing the right thing.

But this comment does bring up a different problem - if this extension is
enabled and the links are edited in a different wiki, i don't see changes of
links in my watchlist. It is a disadvantage, although i am ready to live with
it, because this extension has enough advantages.

I'll write about this problem in the discussion page in meta.

If you need several wikis to try it on, put os.wikipedia on the list. I will be
very glad to ban all the interwiki bots with their messing the history pages.

And nds.wikipedia will gladly join the list of volunteer projects.

 I am reading the comments and trying to understand what is the problem with
 enabling this extension.
 
 Naming of the article in the common wiki?
 
 Performance?
 
 Integration problems with current software?
 
 Disagreements of local language communities?
 

Or the fact that this still hasn't been reviewed thoroughly by a senior dev.
That coupled with the fact that Brion seemed iffy about the implementation 4
months ago.

  I think what he's suggestion is rather than put this through Http calls to

I am still not sure what Brion was thinking, I have even asked him in a
personal email to clarify but it seems he missed it somehow.

 Perhaps with sort of (selective) transclusion
 (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion)?

I don't see at all what it has to do with this.

 We've got a site with shared databases and the ability to queue
 updates automatically on the server side... take advantage of it!

I don't understand which updates are you talking about. Do you propose to leave
the current interwiki linking scheme but queue a bot on the main server to
update the pages? It doesn't help much, because an edit action is still
recorded in the page's history and shows up in RC and the watchlist.

Using this extension the update is immediate and only one edit action is
needed.

Or did i completely misunderstand Brion?

I suppose that it's OK to push updates in batches if it may hurt performance.

It is still better than having to edit pages in several wikis just to update
one link or to see endless bot updates.

One note regarding implementation features:

The Hebrew Wikipedia has the interwikis ordered differently than in the English
Wikipedia. The basic rule is that the English interwiki is always first, and
the rest are followed alphabetically. I am sure that other Wikipedias have
custom rules of their own, so this feature should be taken into account.

The extension supports custom sorting orders, so that is not a problem. In

I don't quite understand what this extension is meant to accomplish, or how the
workflow is envisioned. What are the user interface and performance
considerations?

The lack of automatic updates seems less than ideal, as does the multiple
fetching of link data over the HTTP API on every page render. Management UI by
manual editing of offsite pages looks pretty ugly; what could be done to
improve this?

[Bug 15607] Implement the Interlanguage extension in Wikipedia

General idea is to ease work with interlanguage links and improve their
contemporarity by centralizing their maintenance. Workflow: whenever someone
creates a new page, he/she should add an interlanguage link to it, but on the
central wiki instead of the wiki where the page is; alternatively, this could
be done by a bot like it often is today.

User interfact considerations: it should be easier to maintain a single link
than a dozen of interlanguage links; it should be easier to do nothing than to
operate a herd of bots. I tried to initiate discussion on performance
considerations on Wikitech-l to which, wisely, no one answered.

The lack of automatic updates should not pose a problem, since updates will
likely still happen more often than bot updates would, and also they could be
automated if needed (by bots that would purge pages with new interlanguage
links).

The multiple fetching of link data over the API could be a problem, see
performance considerations comment above. On the other hand, this multiple
fetching may still be better for wikis that (should) have more bot edits than
real edits. Perhaps using a few wikis to experiment could give better answer to
this question. The extension isn't all-or-nothing, it's compatible with current
interlanguage link system, and not every project has to have it.

Manual editing of offsite pages may seem unwieldy, but on the other hand it
requires little retraining of editors. You could say the same WRT Commons: why
wouldn't any image uploaded to any wiki be available to every wiki? Well, it
isn't, and what we have is the second best.
