not a good idea, because
1) it stress out the "national" part of the wiki,
which is wrong since our wikis are defined by
langage
rather than by nationalities
Hence "*inter*national wikipedia", not "a collection
of national
wikipedias".
I hear inter*national* in the word. Maybe is that a
cultural biais.
Ideas:
1) 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.
2) 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 :-)
3) 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.
