Hey all, as discussed yesterday in the call, here is our current plan for deploying interwikilinks to Wikivoyage. If there are no complaints from your side by Tuesday, we will share this plan with the Wikivoyage communities and the Wikidata community on Wednesday. Wed, July 17th: Branching Wikibase 1.22-wmf12 Thu, July 18th: Deploying wmf12 to the test systems and setting up configurations for Wikivoyage on test. This means, the Test Wikidata can accept links to Wikivoyage sites. Mon, July 22nd: Deploying wmf12 to wikidata.org and setting the configuration to accept Wikivoyage links as well. Thu, July, 25th: Deploying wmf12 client to all Wikivoyage.org language editions. From this moment on, Wikivoyage can access interwiki links from Wikidata, and does not need to have them locally anymore. Notes: * Wikivoyage will only get access to the interwikis for now, not to other data in Wikidata. This is planned for later, but we just want to go step by step (i.e. only "phase 1") * Wikipedia will not automatically and suddenly display links to Wikivoyage. The behavior on Wikipedia actually remains completely unchanged by this deployment. * Wikivoyage will not automatically get links to Wikipedia and display them (currently called "Related sites"). This is also left for later. * Further sister projects are planned for later, depending how smoothly this deployment goes. * There is no need for an additional item for e.g. New York for Wikivoyage, but rather the links to Wikivoyage can be entered in the same item that also holds the links to Wikipedia. Cheers, Denny P.S.: Ken, you might consider joining the Wikidata tech list. This is where we send the agenda for the Thursday calls around. -- Project director Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | Obentrautstr. 72 | 10963 Berlin Tel. +49-30-219 158 26-0 | http://wikimedia.de Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V.
