I am very much in favour of including other wikis in
external links
and references because I think it is a big mistake that Wikimedia
projects isolate each other from the rest of the wikisphere. We do
not
treasure other wikis enough, behaving as though we were different
from
them, even better, which is not always true. Of course we cannot use
another wiki that cites Wikipedia as a reference for Wikipedia,
again.
But we can use another wiki as a reference if it provides really good
content on a subject matter which is often the case.
Regards,
Jürgen.
For instance, we have Scholarpedia, which is a reliable source (no
doubts about it), they have editors responsible for different fields,
these editors are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief, and each article is
written by a single author and by invitation only. Do we want it to be a
part of WMF? I do not immediately see any net benefit.
