Hence "*inter*national wikipedia", not "a collection of national wikipedias".
I hear inter*national* in the word. Maybe is that a cultural biais.
Ideas:
- Like linking image description pages: "see
[[:fr:Page fran�ais|some french page]]", "vois [[:en:English page|une page anglaise]]"
Yes. Or [[fr:une page fran�aise]] would do for the magic link, and [fr:une page francaise|une page fran�aise] would do for a link in the text. That way, it could be *very quick to write *more similar to regular links *could make a distinction between - internal links (see also) in blue - external links in green - int-ext links in....well...grey
Ultimately, it should be clear when a link is really making people quit wikipedia, or just jump in another chapter of the book.
- I notice that DeWikiPedia is available as an
InterWiki suffix to the German wikipedia in the UseMod-style InterWiki InterMap. We could add the rest to this list, and start using it, and you could link eg [[FrWikiPedia:Page Fran�ais|a french page]]
Amha, the prefix is too long :-)
- The 'magic' links probably shouldn't be magic on
talk pages, where you're more likely to be explicitly referencing a page under discussion.
lol, I agree.
