Adding red links in disambiguation pages when local stupid idiots instantly revert them, see http://tinyurl.com/o29nbj4 !…

When you link to a "disambiguation page", there is a chance that there is a reference to the missing subject, there is however no guarantee. When you are looking for a given subject, chances are that Wikidata does have an item for the missing article. Magnus Manske created a new template on the en.wp named "Redwd" [1]. It does do two things, it leaves the red link red and, it refers to both Wikidata and the Reasonator. I blogged about it [2] and Jane used it on a disambiguation page [3]. The template is relatively simple and it can easily be copied to any other Wikipedia that is interested in this functionality. As it is the first iteration of this functionality, I am sure that there will be people who will provide us with improvements to what is already on offer. I want to thank Magnus for the code and Multichill for the documentation. Thanks, GerardM PS, the disambiguation by Reasonator will show all items that fit a criterium [4] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Redwd [2] http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/03/mark- davis-wrote-shama-lama-ding-dong.html [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koekkoek [4] http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?find=Koekkoek _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
