Has anyone worked with de:Benutzer:Flacus/Wikipedia Interwiki-Link-Checker/en? I would imagine that much of the logic you are looking for is embedded in this. --Open2universe 22:44, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've used it. All it does is search for articles with the same title on different wikipedias, and then prompt users to affirm they are the same article, or say they aren't. It's useful for establishing ties for articles that are usually listed under the same name in different languages, like people and places. It's useful, and I encourage others to use it, but its utility is limited for fields which often don't have the same name, such as science and history. The same limitation exists for another tool, the Global Wikipedia Article Search.Rigadoun (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interlang Transwiki

Is there an interlang transwiki process? 132.205.44.5 (talk) 23:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The process is described at Help:Transwiki. The example at the bottom shows how to move from one language Wikipedia to another. Rigadoun (talk) 04:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How we do it on the Hebrew Wikipedia

Hi,

Several editors in the Hebrew Wikipedia have been pretty good at adding interwiki links to articles there. I somehow ended up coordinating that effort there and now i feel that other Wikipedias may benefit from this. I couldn't find anything really similar in Wikipedias in any other language that i can read.

This WikiProject seems fitting in its name, but i don't see any detailed processes or tools for this. (But maybe i don't understand something.)

I wrote a detailed explanation in English about what we do in he.wiki and you can find it here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Interlanguage Links/Ideas from the Hebrew Wikipedia. I also advertised it on the Wikipedia-l mailing list. I got several responses from interested Wikipedians from English, Spanish, Swedish and Russian Wikipedias and i believe that this may help a lot of projects in other languages. (My intuition says that Wikipedias in the 5000-200000 articles range will have the most benefit from it.)

Some discussion started on the talk page there, but Hebrew Wikipedia is too exotic a place for an international discussion, especially with our right-to-left forms, which make it very hard to write in English. So - i would like to propose it as a process for the English Wikipedia, too. I shall be especially pleased to see that explanation page translated to other languages.

Again and again: any comments are welcome. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Within a few days i'll complete the roll-out of this way of working in the Russian Wikipedia. If there are no comments here, i'll be bold and start rewriting the main page of this project in accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Interlanguage Links/Ideas from the Hebrew Wikipedia.
