Hi Romaine, Having bots that list tasks that need doing is a great way to get things done. But you need to think carefully who you target this work at. We do have bots that tell editors when they've linked an article to a disambiguation page, there is some logic in that as the person who added th

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

I am 100% sure that such feature is optional: users must have the option to deactivate it. The feature will only work if it is an opt-out feature, because if users are informed about adding to Wikidata, most of them do. It are exactly those users who have not been informed which should get a messag

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

If you want to add a new image to Wikipedia, this image has to be on Commons (nl-wiki situation). If interwikilinks should be seen in the sidebar, the article needs to be added to Wikidata. This are the two relevant examples, other mentioned examples are not relevant as there is requirement in plac

This is where I disagree with you, Romaine. I do believe my examples are exactly right. We do not expect anyone to add information to any other project when they create content on the project of their choice. We have a hard enough time recruiting contributors to any of our projects now, and press

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

If you've had some users requesting such a feature, could it perhaps be added as an opt-in preference setting? I'd be very annoyed by such a feature if it couldn't be disabled, and many might just be confused by it. On Oct 29, 2015 2:08 PM, "Romaine Wiki" wrote: > That is comparing it with wrong

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

That is comparing it with wrong examples that are not relevant here. On Wikipedia we have the guideline that articles an categories should be added to Wikidata, that originates back to the phase that only manual interwikis existed. And we have already received complaints why users do not get a mes

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

Whatever happened to "Wikipedia, the encyclopedia anyone can edit"? This is adding a layer of complexity and expectation that I don't really feel comfortable with. We don't expect people to add images to Commons when they write an article. We don't expect people to include definitions in Wiktion
