Aaron Adrignola <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #41 from Aaron Adrignola <[email protected]> 2011-07-14 14:11:46 UTC --- At Wikibooks there are interproject links to Wikipedia galore. While it's true that we discourage them in order to have all content defined in-text, they are still extensively used. And there are many [[w:|Wikipedia]] links simply to link to Wikipedia. And Wikibooks is not a dictionary, so words may be linked to Wiktionary. Wikiversity was split off, so some concepts may be linked to there. Interproject links are not used at Wikibooks in a one-to-one ratio with the pages and do not match local page content to the equivalent at the other project. The suggested implementation would be a disaster at Wikibooks. Only Wikipedia takes the hardcore stance that "outside" links must all be in an external links section and isolates itself from the other projects. Unless you run a bot to replace [[w:blah|blah]] with [[:w:blah|blah]] on every page of every wiki, the sidebar links would be completely incorrect. At least the suggested implementation wouldn't make them disappear like current interlanguage links, but that's of little consolation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
