Hello,
This night as was thinking about some tools which may be useful to help
me improve some wikipedia article. Lately I began to participate in a
discussion aiming to improve the french "philosophie" article plan[1].
So to achieve our goal, I began to look at how other chapters use it, to
establish a differential overview, and hopefuly produce a better plan
than what the current french article provide. In this project, I've been
helped by the fact that interlang links come with a star when the
article was elected "featured article". Of course I don't speak all this
languages, but translation software are often enough for my purpose of
comparating tables of content.
Now I think that would be intereting to have:
* an opt-in feature to display more information along interlang links,
like size (in octet or number of symbols), view count, edit count, etc.
* a tool which gather article plans of (selected) interlang relative
articles, auto-translate them to a target language and display the
result.
You may look at [2] to get an idea of what the result of such a tool
may look like (but design brain storm is welcome), although I didn't
performed translations yet.
So I post here so I may have some critical feedback, and hint on which
way would probably make more sense to implement this tools. As I see it,
I have now three (non-exclusive) way to develop something which
integrate in the mediawiki ecosystem: php extension, javascript gadget,
lua template.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
