<Hemanshu> I was wondering if Wikipedia should
incorporate links
to Wiktionary in articles?
We use something like that in the Walloon wikipedia;
we have a pseudo-namespace "Motî:" for dictionnary entries;
and whenever we use a word in an article that may not be very
known (Walloon is a small language with no official support, in
fact there didn't existed any language-wide dictionary until now, so
putting definitions is more needed than with other languages, like
English or French, where anybody is supposed to have a good dictionnary
on his shelf).
So it goes like this (from [[wa:Clå d' esté]]):
« On clå d' esté, c' est on [[Motî:sonnant|sonnant]]
[[clå (del pea)|clå]] »
"sonnant" means "bleeding", and doesn't deserve an encyclopedic
entry;
but as some people may not understand it first time, a dictionnary entry
link is usefull.
Note we don't use wictionnary but a pseudo-namespace on wikipedia;
first because we started with it previous to the start of the
wictionnnary project; and also for easyness; if a simple inline
link can't be done (like in the example above), then it is useless.
Now, if
http://wa.wiktionary.org/wiki/sonnant could be made
linkable as [[Motî:sonnant]] from
wa.wikipedia.org; then it would
be nice and we could ask to migrate the dictionnary section
(note however that wiktionary would be more useful case sensitive,
eg:
http://wa.wiktionary.org/wiki/Måtche and
http://wa.wiktionary.org/wiki/måtche are not the same).
