Interwiki synchronization/elementary-primary-comprehensive-school-education-etc

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

There are several starting point in various wikipedias, all having to do with elementary/basic/secondary/comprehensive/collaborative schools/schooling/learning/education.

They connect:

  1. en:Comprehensive school
  2. en:Elementary school
  3. en:Gastropoda(see #Group 2)
  4. en:Gymnasium (school)
  5. en:High school
  6. en:Liceum ogólnokształcące(see also #Group 1.A)
  7. en:Lyceum(see #Group 1)
  8. en:Primary education
  9. en:Primary school
  10. en:Secondary education
  11. en:Secondary education in France#Lycée
  12. en:Slug(see also #Group 2.B)

One of the problems apparently is that, school systems in different countries just do not compare. Likely, most school types apply to a much smaller set of countries (and thus likely, languages, too) than current interwiki links try to make us believe. --Purodha Blissenbach 21:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Group 1[edit]

Starting from en:Lyceum gives a clean group:

  1. ca:Liceu (antiga Grècia)
  2. cs:Lyceum
  3. de:Lykeion
  4. el:Λύκειο
  5. en:Lyceum
  6. eo:Liceo
  7. es:Liceo
  8. fr:Lycée
  9. he:ליקיאון - Aristotle's school near Athens, est. 335 BCE
  10. hu:Líceum
  11. it:Liceo di Aristotele
  12. ja:リュケイオン
  13. nl:Lyceum
  14. pl:Lykeion
  15. pt:Liceu
  16. ru:Лицей
  17. sk:Lykeion
  18. sr:Лицеј
  19. sv:Lykeion
  20. tr:Lykeion

thus cutting all links from the others to this group might be a helpful step. --Purodha Blissenbach 23:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Group 1.A[edit]

Starting from it:Liceo, things already get messy:

  1. cs:Lyceum
  2. de:Lyzeum ← not good: disambiguation. Links ignored.
  3. el:Λύκειο
  4. en:Lyceum
  5. fr:Lycée
  6. he:ליקיאון - Aristotle's school near Athens, est. 335 BCE
  7. hu:Lyceumhu:Líceum
  8. it:Liceo
  9. ja:リセ
  10. pl:Liceum ogólnokształcące
  11. sr:Лицеј
  12. sv:Lykeion
  13. ca:Liceu (antiga Grècia)
  14. eo:Liceo
  15. es:Liceo
  16. nl:Lyceum
  17. pt:Liceu
  18. ru:Лицей
  19. sk:Lykeion
  20. tr:Lykeion
  21. uk:Середня загальноосвітня школа

Starting from any of the following yields no problem links either:

Group 2.B[edit]

starting from en:Slug yields a duplicate each for almost all languages, and collects all members of the above #Group 2, too. --Purodha Blissenbach 00:39, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

I've uploaded an automatic analysis for this area, it's here. It is based on database snapshots from late August 2008.

At least three "bottlenecks" in the graph of meanings can be identified:

removed from en:Secondary education in France and fr:Lycée en France, changed interwiki to fa:لیسه (حلزون) elswhere. Andreas 15:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Meaning 12[edit]

de:Klammeraffe ("@-sign") should be isolated. It is unrelated to en:slug (disambiguation). The link is caused by homonym hu:Csiga which means both "@" and "slug" as it appears to me. (Imho linking disambiguations other than literals (abbreviations, figures, codes) works usually only between related languages having very compatible sets of homonyms) --Purodha Blissenbach 21:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the interwikis from these pages. Andreas 14:23, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
