Hi, Some inline comments. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amir E. Aharoni Sent: 08/12/12 11:56 AM To: wikidata-l Subject: [Wikidata-l] thoughts about a plan for enabling interlanguage linking Hi, I'm not sure that it was discussed already. If it was discussed, please point me there. I read the Technical proposal and the translatable pages on Meta and couldn't find it there. Is there any concrete plan to start the migration of the current interlanguage links to Wikidata storage? For example: * The interwiki bots' will definitely have to be modified for the Wikidata age. Did anybody start a conversation with the operators of these bots? MerlIwBot is the only bot that is compatible with Wikidata. Lydia has started a conversation with the operators of the bots that have volunteered to transit interwiki links to Wikidata. * How will interwiki conflicts be handled? Judging by earlier discussions, I suppose that Wikidata will just let pages with conflicts work as they always did, but this is an important issue that should be answered in the FAQ.[1] Correct. This issue was discussed at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata/Development/Storyboard_for_lin… * How will bots identify pages that use Wikidata? Is this http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MerlIwBot/WikiData what you are looking for? I am going to leave this question mostly unanswered for others. This might be related to what you are talking about. Maybe the answer to all of the above questions is: "The Wikidata developers intentionally want to leave these things to the editors community". If it is, then this is fine. It is even hinted in the Technical proposal. But it should be written more explicitly, so that the communities will actually start to work on that. Again, if somebody already started it, please point me there. Thank you!
