Objet : [Wikipedia-l] Red links on steroids
Hoi, Red links are part of the MediaWiki architecture. They indicate that a subject has
not been covered in an article. Consequently, they are functional and, a good thing to
have. 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]
