amazingly productive, both in the quality and quantity of their creations. I
was honestly surprised that it's possible to get something Wikimedia-related
done that quickly. Lydia and everyone - great job :)
Thank you :)
I see no cowboy attitude here. As pointed out, this
was already tested on
multiple wikis, some only a little smaller than enwiki. While the software
is not entirely complete yet, this seems mostly by design (phase III,
anyone?). It certainly works, and it's certainly good enough for wider
deployment. There are some important bugs to iron out
(
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44874 comes to mind), but
they're not really blockers, and I think (and hope!) they're being worked
on.
Yes. We're aware of things that are still missing and they're on the plan.
Wiki design
101 is that nobody gets sent to another page/website/etc to
edit content on the Wikipedia. (Even clicking on an image that is held on
Commons takes people to a Wikipedia page for the image, and then gives
them
the choice to go to Commons.)
But you do need to go to Commons to, say, upload a different version of it.
Wiki editing 101 for you.
And I think this was being worked on for language links, anyway. Lydia, is
there a bug for that? ;)
Yes. There is
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40949 for
example which is for connecting an article that has no language links
yet for example and should go into production soon. (This one will not
take care of editing existing links yet.)
Cheers
Lydia
