Sisterlinks project
Current situation: interwiki links between all languages
|
| Proposed situation: links of all languages to one central point
|
The sisterlinks project aims to collect links to all articles on all sisterprojects.
The collection of links is stored on a central place, typically on Commons.
See also User:Henkvd/Sisterproject
This collection of links is also meant as a start for meta:A new look at the interwiki link. >>>
This project is planned to have 4 phases
- a pilot with only Science categories to English language sister projects
- all categories to English language sister projects
- distribute present sisterlinks to sister projects in all languages
- articles as well as categories
First Phase
In the first phase only 1) Categories 2) Science and 3) English language will be linked, as a pilot version.
See examples at Category:Science and its subcategories Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics
Second Phase
All other categories to the English language sister projects
How to contribute
- search for corresponding categories in Commons, en:Wikipedia and on a en:sisterproject
- on commons: add the full sisterlinks, use parts of the example below
- add {{sisterlinks|category:xxx}} on en:sisterproject
- add {{sisterlinkswp|category:xxx}} on en:wikipedia
- check all the links (check you copied the categorynames from the right sisterproject)

The english wikipedia template is marked in red because that template did already exist with an other layout, but similar purpose. Distribution is postponed awaiting comments from the original author. A second template called sisterlinkswp is used instead.

The following templates are used
- Template:Sisterheader, no parameters
- Template:Sisterend, no parameters
- Template:Sisterwikipedia, max 50 links
- Template:Sisterwiktionary, idem
- Template:Sisterwikinews, idem
- Template:Sisterwikiquote, idem
- Template:Sisterwikibooks, idem
- Template:Sisterwikisource, idem
- Template:Sistermetawiki, only 2 parameters: font and link
- Template:Sisterwikispecies, idem
- Template:Sistercommons, idem
Every link consists of
| xx: | font | link |
where font is
- space: normal
- b: bold
- r: red, indicating the link does (not yet) exist
As each link consists of 4 parameters and a sisterproject template can hold up to 50 links the sistertemplates must (at least) hold 200 parameters. Empty parameters could be added like this:
{{Sisterwiktionary|
|en:| |Category:xxx|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
}}

Please add comments here:
- Red is use for a blank page. User:84.121.35.52
- Red is indeed intended for missing pages. I only used it once for en:Template:sisterlinks indicating it has an other layout. Making it greeen, italic or otherwise is only possible with an additional template, which is only used once. HenkvD 15:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- I prefer and automatic linking in from every Wikimedia Sister Project to other ones (in a similar way to the button "Search" in Commons. User:84.121.35.52
- A general "Search" does not actually mean a page might exists. On a general project like commons the chance that a sertain page exists on hundreds of pages is slim. Only if all (or a majority of) projects have a related page this migh be usefull. Furthermore every language should have a different parameter as the translation is deifferent, so it is not on option. HenkvD 15:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
