[Wikipedia-l] How to get more cooperation between wikipedia and wiktionary

[Gerard Meijssen]

On the nl:wikipedia, there were many articles that contained the names 
of the subject in different languages. There was opposition to this, as 
this is something you expect in a dictionary and not in an encyclopedia. 
There were some itterations before we came up with our current solution.

On nl:Wiktionary we refer to articles in wikipedia and use the template 
{{-info-}} to produce a text with an interlink to the wikipedia article.
On Wikipedia we now refer to articles in wiktionary and use the template 
{{wikt}} to produce a text with an interlink to the wiktionary article.

The benefits are:
*There are more articles in nl:wiktionary as a result
*We did not lose the information that was on nl:wikipedia
*We have richer information overall
*The best bit is: more people contribute to nl:wiktionary.

Everybody is happy with this solution. :)

Thanks,
