Wish Received

Hello @Hadithfajri,

Thank you for submitting this wish and for clearly explaining the challenge around linking different editions of the same work across Wikisource projects.

We’ll look into who might be the right team to evaluate this request, and we’ll follow up once we have more clarity. In the meantime, your point about the need for clearer guidance or documentation (if a solution already exists) is noted and very helpful.

Appreciate your care for structure and consistency across Wikisource!

Hello again,

Following up on that, this functionality should already exist through the Wikisource extension, as described here in the extension's code.

Could you please check if this solution meets your needs? If you find that it’s not working or encounter any specific issues, feel free to reply with additional details or screenshots.

Thank you.

Salam, @ARamadan-WMF

Sorry for my late response. But, could you explain more on how to access or use this extension? Perhaps you can show how it already working on any Wikisource.

Salam!

Just to make sure we've checked all the current information available, could you please try reviewing the extension directly through the link shared earlier? It includes some technical details on how the functionality is designed to work:

If you’re unable to access it or if anything there is unclear, let me know, I’d be happy to connect someone from the product team who can help explain or walk through how it's currently set up.

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Pardon me, but the link you provided contains only PHP code without any clear explanation, which may be challenging for anyone with limited coding experience. Hadithfajri (talk) 08:29, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

@Hadithfajri: I can try to help here. The existing functionality of the Wikisource extension is now described at mw:Help:Extension:Wikisource/Wikidata. Can you have a read of that and see a) if it makes sense; and b) if it solves what you're aiming at here? Thanks! SWilson (WMF) (talk) 06:10, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

@Hadithfajri

Thank you for your wish!

Just wanted to check in to see if the points above help resolve your wish? MikeZ-WMF (talk) 11:54, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

We'll mark this as done, but please feel free to file a new wish if there are other improvements that come to mind! MikeZ-WMF (talk) 13:09, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
