Thomas Berger <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Thomas Berger <[email protected]> --- Let me contribute my pet case for this issue: "Ryke Geerd Hamer" (Q1514187) is the inventor of "Germanische Neue Medizin" / "Germanic New Medicine" (Q4616621). No Wikipedia deems it worth to have a biography article plus an article for the method therefore there always exists one article and (at least) one redirect. The redirect is usually declared __STATICREDIRECT__ since most wikipedias consider the difference between a person and a (his) topical concept grave enough to not egalize it by a plain redirect. However the actual choice of lemma is quite arbitrary, some take the person like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryke_Geerd_Hamer with redirect from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Germanic_New_Medicine&redirect=no and others take it the other way round, e.g http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ryke_Geerd_Hamer&redirect=no (carrying authority data, persondata and categories reserved for persons) redirecting to a section http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanische_Neue_Medizin#Ryke_Geerd_Hamer. At the moment the individual wikipedias allow (somehow, by redirects) to uphold a certain distinction between two concepts like "biological person Hamer" and "theory crafted by this person" and in theory it would have been possible to maintain two separate sets of interwiki links for both concepts (in practice I tried that but IW bots were too fast for me and on it.wp someone disapproved of creating the necessary redirect). On the other hand wikidata right now due to "knowing" the nature of redirects does not allow to add a redirect to one concept if the redirect's target is already added to the other concept (and vice versa, since redirects are automatically "resolved" on entry) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
