My initial thought would be that this is not allowed. The exception for small extracts is intended for diffs and similar. Actual definitions are basically the same as article text. However, WM-DE will need to provide a final opinion on this. River.

To: <toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> I recently re-read the toolserver rools, and am concerned that publishing definitions extracted from XML dumps of en.Wiktionary may be in violation of rule 10. # Tools may not serve significant portions of wiki page text to clients. "Significant" means distributing actual page content; for example, installing MediaWiki to serve the text of wikis would not be allowed, but showing a short extract to provide context for a tool would be okay. Could someone please clarify whether this precludes publishing lots of short extracts combined? I had intended to (eventually) publish similar dumps of other information in Wiktionary (such as the Translations), so it would be nice to check that this is permitted on the toolserver, or whether I have to find some alternative hosting. The current output is at http://toolserver.org/~enwikt/definitions/ Thanks Conrad _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
