Bug ID: 58861
Summary: Parser function - unidirectional inclusion of
interwiki list
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataClient

The basic function of interwiki connection is reciprocal, i.e. if en:page links
to fr:page, then fr:page necessarily links back to the en:page.
The reality of Wikimedia Commons project is that the Commons category page
links:
* primarily to Wikipedia category pages, if they exist
* alternatively to Wikipedia article pages (for the languages which have not
the category page for the item)
* possibly, links to "definition" article can be combined (alternated) with
links to "list" article (for the languages which have not the definition
article or in the case that the definition article doesn't exist at all - e.g.
the Commons category "Writers from Bulgary" can link to the item "List of
Bulgarian writers" because there exists no definition article "Bulgarian
writer").
Of course, the most systematic solution would be to associate category links
and article links to identic item together and to use the property "list of"
(its inversion) with inclusion functions to associate the list articles.
However, such solutions seem to be very unobtainable for now.
However, some simple, easy and universal tool can help. I would welcome a
parser function (something like
http://tools.wmflabs.org/commonsinterwiki/cgi-bin/main.py/?id=Q5551050) which
would include (generate and display) the interwiki list in wiki syntax
unidirectionally, without recording at the Wikidata item page. By default, such
interwiki links should work as local links (i.e. the iw links from Wikidata
should be prioritized) but some parameter should enable to turn the priority
over. Maybe, the function can find also other utilization.
E.g., the Commons page "Category:Berlin" is associated with Q4579913
(Category:Berlin) item page of Wikidata and additionaly (using {{On Wikidata}}
template with the proposed parser function], the Commons page can include
(display) interwiki links to Q64 (Berlin) for the language versions which have
not pages associated with Q4579913.
