Some proposed corrections. — Jeblad 00:49, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[Wikidata] - the new sister-project Wikidata is growing fast. The already passed the 1,5 million records. [Now at d:Q1914424, probably 2mill before new year.] The [sp?] are now working on the interwiki language information, [later on] infoboxes and lists will follow. At present the data of Wikidata is not yet used on [any of] the projects. The plans are to switch over the Hungarian language Wikipedia over to Wikidata for the use of there interwiki language links on January 14th 2013.

What will that actually mean in practice? - When this function is enabled on your [a] wiki the interwiki language links will be [augmented with sitelinks] injected in the Wikipedia article. [It is unclear what happen in the future for sitelinks in non-wikipedia articles] At least if there is interwiki data are sitelinks available at Wikidata about that topic. The current local language links will lose there function and need to [must] be removed otherwise the[y] will override the Wikidata [site]links. Changes made on the Wikidata interwiki language [site]links that effect a local Wikipedia will [propagate to them, and] also show up in the recent changes of that wiki. If for some reason a local wiki does not want that the injected interwiki language links show up on a specific page the tag parser function [can be used]. When this function is active the net result is that the [interwiki] links will show up as usual [if set], but the maintenance of langlinks [sitelinks] in the Wikipedia-projects will go away. All (or most [some]) [of the] maintenance [from] will instead be in Wikidata [will then be turned off].


Thank you Jeblad! This makes it a lot better. --Walter (talk) 17:50, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
