Hello, I am known as Hashar on irc and fr.wikipedia. I am currently developping a php script that aims to help me updating interwiki (also known as interlangage links). I am posting there so the community know about what's I am doing and mainly to prevent any crash of the server that might be cause by my script. This is what I am doing: Script is running on my local workstation using php and my cable connection in France. It operates following this script: 1/ ask user for an article to check 2/ retrieve article and parse for interwiki links 3/ retrieve one of the interwiki link and parse it for interwiki links 4/ repeat 3 until all interwiki links of 2 have been parsed. 5/ display for each wikipedia the number of interwiki and a list of them. It doesn't manage redirect yet. This is an output result on a test I made this morning (while american are sleeping and european not yet awake as to minimize risks). I was browsing the site while it was running and didn't notice any slowdown. ----- SCRIPT OUTPUT ----- Enter the name of an article on the fr wikipédia.Wikilinks will be checked on (ar|ms|bs|cs|cy|da|de|el|en|es|eo|fr|fy|hi|hr|he|ko|hu|ml|nah|nl|ja|pl|ro| ru|sq|sk|sl|sr|sv|tr|zh) wikipedias. Current wikilink(s) for this article: fr (11 interwiki): [[da:Spanien]] [[de:Spanien]] [[en:Spain]] [[es:España]] [[eo:Hispanio]] [[nl:Spanje]] [[ja:スペイン]] [[pl:Hiszpania]] [[ro:Spania]] [[sv:Spanien]] [[zh:西班牙]] Number and wikilinks on the linked wikis: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- da (11 interwiki): [[en:Spain]] [[de:Spanien]] [[eo:Hispanio]] [[es:España]] [[fr:Espagne]] [[ja:スペイン]] [[nl:Spanje]] [[pl:Hiszpania]] [[ro:Spania]] [[sv:Spanien]] [[zh:西班牙]] de (11 interwiki): [[da:Spanien]] [[en:Spain]] [[eo:Hispanio]] [[es:España]] [[fr:Espagne]] [[ja:スペイン]] [[nl:Spanje]] [[pl:Hiszpania]] [[ro:Spania]] [[sv:Spanien]] [[zh:%E8%A5%BF%E7%8F%AD%E7%89%99]] es (10 interwiki): [[da:Spanien]] [[de:Spanien]] [[en:Spain]] [[eo:Hispanio]] [[fr:Espagne]] [[ja:スペイン]] [[nl:Spanje]] [[pl:Hiszpania]] [[sv:Spanien]] [[zh:西班牙]] eo (8 interwiki): [[de:Spanien]] [[en:Spain]] [[fr:Espagne]] [[es:España]] [[ja:スペイン]] [[nl:Spanje]] [[pl:Hiszpania]] [[ro:Spania]] ja (0 interwiki): doesn't got any interwiki link. ----- END SCRIPT OUTPUT ----- NB: I removed lot of entries to make things clearer. wiki is missing 3 of them, es wiki is missing one, ja doesn't seem to be linked (must be a script bug :p ). Before I work more on this idea, what's your reaction about that ? Do you find it usefull ? Should it be spread to some server operator around the wikipedias ? Followup either here or on my talk page. :0° -- Ashar Voultoiz [[Hashar]] @ fr.wikipedia.org
