Inter-language link support via Wikidata
- Problem: Wikidata's inter-language link system does not work well for Wikisource, because it assumes that pages are structured the same way as Wikipedia pages are structured, and this is not the case.
- Who would benefit: Editors and readers of all Wikisources, and editors and readers of Wikidata
- Proposed solution:
- Support linking from Wikidata to Multilingual Wikisource
- Support automatic interlanguage links between multiple editions that are linked to different items on Wikidata, where these items are linked by "has edition" and "edition or translation of"
- More comments: This was also proposed last year
- Phabricator tickets: phab:T138332, phab:T128173, phab:T180304, phab:T54971

Discussion
This issue causes a lot of confusion for new editors on Wikisource and Wikidata, who frequently set up the interwiki links incorrectly in order to bypass this limitation. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 16:12, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Beleg Tâl: great proposal ! For information @Tpt: is working on something quite similar (Tpt: can you confirm?), we should keep this proposal as this is important and any help is welcome but still we should keep that in mind ;) Cdlt, VIGNERON * discut. 14:47, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- HI! Yes, indeed, I am working on it as part of mw:Extension:Wikisource. It's currently in the process of being deployed on the Wikimedia test cluster before a deployment on Wikisource. It should be done soon, so, hopefully no need from the Foundation on this (except helping the deployment). Tpt (talk) 13:59, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Tpt: Fantastic, thank you!! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 17:22, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

- FYI I repeated T54971, which I asked for several decades to try to support it. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:17, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- I would just notify that in svwikisource and plwikisource there are javascript-based implementations of multi-version interwiki and they seem to work fine if appropriate structures are available in Wikidata. Ankry (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

- Support This would be a very good and necessary thing to have. Doing it in a truly comprehensive way is probably a big and difficult project because, let's face it, sitelinks were made with Wikipedia in mind and Wikisource's needs are very different. A comprehensive solution should probably be delivered in the scope of a project that is more like Structured Data on Commons. Nevertheless, a first step could be made in this direction in some way within the framework of Community Tech. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
