Transcluding Wikipedia complete article or section on wikiversity courses
- Problem: Why duplicate information from Wikipedia to Wikiversity by copy past article contain ? Because until now there is no way to transcude complete article or section from Wikipedia to Wikiversity.
- Who would benefit: Wikiversity editor and students
- Proposed solution: Extension:InterwikiExtracts can transclude articles directly from Wikipedia. Here are a few demos (don't forget to click on "View source"):
- Transclusion of the current version of the Dyslexia article
- Transclusion of the lead section of the Dyslexia article in plain text
- Transclusion of an old version of the Dyslexia article (can be any version, I chose a random version from 2016)
- More comments: This extension or an other that can permit also to transcusion other namespace pages from Wikipedia to other sister projects could be a great opportunity to create links between Wikimedia projects. in the long run, that could produce a coherent system in the Wikimedia galaxy where the Wikipedia planet don't only make shadow to other projects, but also provide sources that can easily feed other project without duplication of contain and unused saturation of server hard disks.

Discussion
- I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it is nice to have the most up to date information from Wikipedia in Wikiversity. But on the other hand, if the Wikipedia article or section is restructured, rewritten for a more expert audience, or otherwise changed dramatically, it may no longer be the best fit for a Wikiversity course.

- The extension also allows to transclude a specific version of an article, rather than the most recent one. Sophivorus (talk) 10:07, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
