_______________________________________________There are always some extinct, endangered, ancient, obscure language with text to be stored on wiki yet might not have enough maintainers to create a separate project for. Unlike Wikipedia or other wiki projects where value of their content are limited to user of those languages, wikisource can keep document of languages that are used by nobody nowadays and still be interested by international audiences. It would be difficult to put them into individual language wikis that when those text might not even be fully understood by linguists.在 2021年2月24日週三 21:36，Vito Genovese <vitomedia@gmail.com> 寫道：O_o Why do we have multiple Incubator-like platforms again? Multilingual Wikisource is a model that has clearly been rendered obsolete by the technical demands of our movement, so it -- and Beta Wikiversity for that matter -- should be merged with the Incubator. Multilingual texts, if any, can be kept as duplicates in each relevant project. It's not like Wikipedia where people can work on and improve the content and maintaining multiple copies would be problematic. WS is a repository, so it's perfectly possible to not keep everything in the same bowl. Typological distinctions are extremely controversial to begin with, and we are not exactly helping ourselves with a container project that is not built on the ISO 639-3 system._______________________________________________Nicolas VIGNERON <vigneron.nicolas@gmail.com>, 24 Şub 2021 Çar, 13:49 tarihinde şunu yazdı:Hi,English is clearly and obviously wrong. "mul" or "und" are not perfect but far better (and "mul" seems to fit better I guess).Anyway, the multilingual wikisource is meant to be a temporary incubation so maybe we don't need perfect here as the point will solve itself eventually as the language gets its own Wikisource.@Gerard: yes title can easily be changed (or not used, whatever and what not) but here we are talking about the language of the sitelink (which also raises the question of the language of the website which is also "en" right now), and that part can't be changed by the user (and AFAIK is unique for a wikimedia project).Cheers, ~nicolas_______________________________________________Le mer. 24 févr. 2021 à 13:28, Gerard Meijssen <gerard.meijssen@gmail.com> a écrit :Hoi,In Wikidata there is a property "title" is has a mandatory parameter in the language. It is also used for books and other publications... It is completely separate from the link to the Wiki .. it being English is totally irrelevant, it can be removed changed whatever from the Wikidata item.Thanks,Gerard_______________________________________________On Wed, 24 Feb 2021 at 09:56, Amir E.

Currently it's "en", which is not quite correct: technically, the site language of Multilingual Wikisource is English, but most of the content is in other languages.Ideally, each link should specify the language of the page to which it's linking, but currently this is not possible technically.Until it's possible, suggestions to use "und" or "mul" have been raised:I don't have an opinion about this myself. Does anyone else have thoughts about it?
