Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wiktionary/Display definitions from Wikisource dictionaries

Random proposal ►◄ Wiktionary The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Display definitions from Wikisource dictionaries

Problem: Wiktionaries offer some definitions but there are many ways to describe a meaning, and the actual wiktionary interface doesn't make it easy to display definitions from other dictionaries. Some are mentioned as references but they are not accessible in Wiktionary.
Who would benefit: Wiktionary readers
Proposed solution: Many dictionaries are already in Wikisource and we can use them to offer more definitions. A dedicated transclusion may help harvesting automatically entries with a specific tagging in the dictionaries hosted in Wikisources. They could come from several Wikisources, to be display in several Wiktionaries. It could be a new tab next to "Article" and "Talk", named "Dictionaries".
More comments: Some dictionaries are already properly tagged; for the others, it could be a good opportunity to do it, so that they can more easily be reused in open source projects.

Discussion

I think it's a great cross-project development, and it's different than the proposal to use Wikisource as a corpora, this one target dictionaries, and the other idea target books. It could be a good opportunity to follow TEI Lex0 guidelines for the dictionaries in Wikisource Noé (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support OneLook is a good supplemental source of current definitions in English for comparative purposes, but most definitions there are copyrighted. WikiSource dictionaries would provide copyable starter definitions (usually needing to be put in contemporary terms) as well historical definitions.
