It also works by manual writing of the interwikis. I don't think it's the good way. *You're not taking into account page moves. What will you do when a page is moved? (by a low tech user which knows nothing about the global wiki) *The articles will still have a 'preferred' title at the interwiki wiki. That means discussing about article titles, "Move to English name", "No, that's not", "Interwikis with pages on Chinese are ugly!"... IMHO it should be a shared table referencing the wiki and page ids. Then you provide a Special page showing all pages on that group. You'd reference it as 'include this page into the group XX:sometitle is on'. You can also provide some space for free-form commenting (such as explaining the difference with another page). Obviously, all of that must be properly logged, which with SUL should be much easier. _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l
