I'm not sure of what do you mean by "language switch". Do you mean "adding, removing or changing a link to a version of the article in another language"?

If that's what you mean, then you should indeed search for [[code:title]], and note that the 'code' part is one of the 270 or so language codes that we use. Wikis in new languages are opened every few weeks, so the list of codes is growing. You can find a full and reasonably current list here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias

You should also speak to some of the bot operators, because they already have code that does such things. For example, speak to http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Volkov

Hi @all,

I am looking into cases of language switch and I wish to find edits not undertaken by bots,

• how can I do such a search in Wikipedia? would I do this by a search that involves a string similar to

[[xx:xxxxxxxx...]]?

• where would I find the entry point for such a search?

maybe there are some better ideas about how to proceed ;-)

thanks & cheers, Claudia koltzenburg@w4w.net
