I think the system needs to work like the categories. Very few people need to edit the category page, so we don't really have to worry about who can access that central storage. If I write an article about a president, I copy a category link from another president biography. I don't have to update the category page and I don't have to update other articles in the same category. >From a biography of the same president in another language, I can copy a list of interwiki links. But instead I should just copy a single, global interwiki pointer. As far as I understand, this is how the interlanguage extension should work. What stops us from trying that out? Could it be introduced in small steps, or is it a big scary change? -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
