Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None
Status: Closed
Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Purodha B Blissenbach (purodha) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Translate "(disambiguation)" string in page titles.
Initial Comment: The interwiki program for the Wikipedia family of wikies should be able to look for all possible candidates when following hints to several wikies, such as -hintall, "all:", "20:", and similar.
For disambuguation pages, the correct target page titles for source page "Name" or "Name (disambiguation)" may be: "Name (disambiguation)", or "name", or "NAME (disambiguation)", or "NAME". Depending on page and/or wiki, any, some, or only one will be elgible. Most usually, they should be searched in the order given above, and the 1st match will be the most likely hit. Very few wikies offer several possible translations of "(disambiguation)". Most have only one such string. Some don't have one. Some Wikipedias always use it with disambiguation pages, the vast majority uses it sometimes, and sometimes not in an unpredictable manner.
I suggest, to add a command line switch allowing this kind of page title translation. Maybe, it could take an optional parameter, the value of which may tell in which order the string options should be searched, and/or wether or not an interactive query is desired in cases when several such target pages exist.
I might be not skilled enough to create a patch, at least not easily. Before I try, I'd like some feedback, too.
I did, however, prepare a collection of translations of the string "(disambiguation)". It is on page http://ksh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metmaacher:Purodha/disambig Please, if you import the data into the apropriate program or it otherwise becomes obsolete, put a {{delete}} template on this page, so as to tell me that I do not to update it any more.
