Dear colleagues,
Here a remark/question(s) about the way how we keep record in the
Wikimedia movement with regard to research papers and books about wiki
related topics.
It seems to me that we have several pages for collaborative collecting
the titles. For example, my first look would lead me to a bibliography
page on Meta-Wiki [1]. But we have also such a page on Englisch WP [2]
and on German WP, even two [3] etc.
Sometimes the pages have different goals: do they collect "all"
literature" or only "relevant" titles or titles in a specific
language; or are they rather a list of "recommended" works etc.
Often, the pages are obviously incomplete and not up to date. Some end
with the year 2019 (or actually, were not continued in the Corona
times?).
What do you think? Did I simply not find the "right" page? Or what
would be the best solution for creating one single page or database of
wiki related works? Including machine readable information about
language, specific sub topic, links to reviews etc.?
And, of course, there remains the question what is actually a wiki
related work. Often a book does not have "wiki" in its title but deals
with "online creation communities" or "peer production" or
"social
media" and has a large chapter on wikis.
Kind regards
Ziko
