Such problems certainly exist. But they are not our worst problem at the moment. Today I sorted out "Calvin Klein" (the company) and "Calvin Klein (fashion designer)" (the person). They now form two separate interwiki clusters, without conflicts. But sorting this out was more hard work than it needs to be. With some improved tools, we can make this work a little easier. The Category:Politicians in many languages has an interwiki link to the Armenian (hy:) category for political scientists. I fixed the English Wikipedia (manually) and the North European languages (by bot), but some 50 languages remain to be edited. If interwiki.py supported SUL and if I had a truly global bot flag, I could do it. But I'm reluctant to edit 50 languages manually, especially since there are hundreds of such conflicts. One problem here is that interwiki.py only adds links. Both correct ones and errors are quickly propagated. But corrections are not propagated, because the conflicts make it give up. An easy way to remove that hy: interwiki link would be a great help. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
