- (Softwareneuheit) Die Wikipedia-interne Suche wurde um sprachübergreifende Suchergebnisse erweitert. TextCat heißt die Software, die einem unter bestimmten Umständen Ergebnisse aus einer andersprachigen Wikipedia anzeigt. Die Voraussetzungen sind: a) die lokale Suche nach dem Suchbegriff bringt 0 Ergebnisse, b) TextCat erkennt die Sprache, in dem der Suchbegriff geschrieben ist und c) die Suche in dem anderssprachigen Wiki liefert ein Ergebnis. Beispiel: Die Suche nach resistive strain gauges bringt kein Ergebnis in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, daher wird der Text Es gibt auf dieser Website keine der Suchanfrage entsprechenden Ergebnisse. Suchergebnisse von der englischen Wikipedia. mit einer Ergebnisliste aus der englischsprachigen Wikipedia angezeigt. Weitere Details auf der Ambassador-Mailingliste: Language detection for Special:Search queries.

Salafiyya und Wahhabismus
Sehr geehrter Autor Saint-Louis, im Artikel Salafismus scheint mir im Abschnitt „Abgrenzung zu Wahhabismus und Islamismus“ die Darlegung der Unterschiede zwischen Salafiyya und Wahhabismus nicht gelungen. Näheres habe ich auf der Diskussionsseite dargelegt. Dort warb ich auch dafür, dass ein fachkundiger Autor diesen Abschnitt überarbeiten möge. Da es in der Wikipedia keine Redaktion Islam gibt, wende ich mich an Sie als Mitglied der Redaktion Religion mit dem Hinweis auf mein Anliegen und mit der Frage, ob Sie vielleicht helfen können.
