Related Phabricator ticket: T360199

The current interwiki link (wmfblog:) for the Diff movement blog is outdated and does not accurately speak to current movement-wide (vs Foundation specific) scope. I propose that we add a new entry for the blog, diffblog:, and wanted to see if there was any concerns or feedback before implementing. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 16:08, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Seeing no concerns, I have gone ahead and added this to the interwiki map and updated the related Phabricator ticket. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 02:10, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

This appears to be the Wikipedia clone by WMF banned user Drbug [1]. I don't think this should get any interwiki link. --Johannnes89 (talk) 07:52, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I agree with Johannes that this should not get an interwiki. I don't see how the content of a fork would be useful here, as it duplicates the contents of the Russian wikipedia, and the proposer has added no explanation of why it would be useful. I also think the proposed prefix could be easily confused with the actual Russian Wikipedia. 86.23.109.101 19:29, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I think the site currently at https://meta.orain.org/wiki is a historical archive and not the sort of thing it would make sense to have an interwiki link to. * Pppery * it has begun 01:22, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
I can confirm that Orain is not coming back. Sorry to the 12 people this disappoints. Harej (talk) 02:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
That said you should probably edit the Orain page to make it much clearer that the site is historical/defunct. * Pppery * it has begun 03:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
I've convinced them to communicate the historicalness of the site more clearly over there. This request is someone's unsigned April Fools joke that we're all wasting out time on. (Miraheze briefly renamed itself to back Orain on April 1). I'm embarrassed I fell for it. Not done. * Pppery * it has begun 01:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Any particular reason why this site should have an interwiki? * Pppery * it has begun 17:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
It might be useful for fans of anime and manga. The name of the wiki alludes unto w:Moe (slang) and w:Moe anthropomorphism. I haven't heard of the site until I found on a Wikidata entry about w: Wuthering Waves. Ahri.boy (talk) 23:04, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
The interwiki map is not a venue to promote sites. It's a process to simplify links to existing sites. It looks like there are only 19 uses of this site across the entire wiki farm (link requires login), which is nowhere near enough for an interwiki. * Pppery * it has begun 04:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Tardis Wiki

Interwiki request: new

Status:    Done
wikidata status:   Not done

Tardis Wiki is the Doctor Who wiki. We recently became independent after just about 20 years on Wikia/Fandom (having been one of the earliest members of Wikicities back in 2004).

Since most of our regular contributors and admins have been moving over to the forked wiki, this is where the most up-to-date articles will be. (We were already one of the largest wikis on the site.)

And since we have very different notability guidelines to Wikipedia, declaring no topic too small for coverage so long as there's a Doctor Who universe source, we're very useful to link to in the Doctor Who Portal.

However, as much as our new freedom has afforded many improvements for our site and community, not least getting away from Fandom's intrusive ads, it's now a lot more difficult to link to us at our own domain.

In case there's any doubt:

  1. provide clear and relevant use to the Wikimedia projects, including the purpose of the site
    Tardis has long been the most comprehensive guide to the Doctor Who franchise available online.
    At the moment, there are 396 uses of Template:Tardis Data Core on Wikipedia, linking to our wiki. [Currently resorting to external links for the time being.]
  2. be trusted not to encourage spam links being added to the Wikimedia projects
    There is no spam on the wiki. Our team of admins makes sure that this continues to be the case, and we also use abuse filters to facilitate this.
  3. be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license)
    All content is released under CC BY-SA 3.0.
  4. be a wiki
    This is a wiki based on MediaWiki with all relevant extensions installed. Anyone can edit.
  5. have reasonable amounts of content
    The site currently has more than 108,000 articles.
  6. not contain malware
    There is most certainly not any malware.

Thanks.
SmallerOnTheOutside (talk) 10:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Search gives 800 uses on enwiki, and presumably more on other wikis, not counting links to tardis.wikia.com which still has several hundred links. And it's unfair to the TARDIS wiki crew that they used to have an interwiki when they were part of Fandom and now they don't. This looks reasonable to add. * Pppery * it has begun 01:39, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Several frequently used sites on Wikimedia Commons

The following websites are very widely used on Commons as part of authority control, based on the Wikidata properties OCLC control number (P243), ISNI (P213) and Library of Congress authority ID (P244); by creating interwiki prefixes for them, we can link to them using interwiki instead of external link syntax, which is better for the database (see Commons discussion and T343131). --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

As the website states, "Inspired by Wikipedia, ProdWiki is based on the same software, Creative Commons license, and community guidelines, but with a different scope. While Wikipedia includes pages on "notable" topics in any subject, ProdWiki includes pages on any product." Ahri Boy (talk) 06:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

For example, if you are looking for a variant of a certain laptop, but the subject does not have enough notability on Wikipedia, it would be very useful on ProdWiki. Ahri Boy (talk) 06:23, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Google discontinued its cache service in February (see, for example https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/2/24058985/google-search-cache-feature-discontinued) so all these links are no longer functional.
