- Looks like duplicate efforts with Wikispecies and Wikipedia. Frostly (talk) 01:09, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Comment It appears to make the criteria and have a suitable mass at the other end, and usage within Wikidata. I would hesitate to use the short term "ant:" and counter propose that we could use antwiki:. Too short a name starts to put us running into potential problems with anything that wikimedia could use, plus with interlanguage links. With regard to duplicate efforts, that is not our concern, ours is to make available to a need, not to pick and choose a winner, or to be afraid of overlap in subject matter. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:26, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

- @Billinghurst, I just noticed that I made a mistake when filling the data above. The "Link" field should be https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/tools/$1, rather than https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/$1, otherwise one needs to write
[[toolhub:tools/patchdemo]], instead of[[toolhub:patchdemo]], to link to https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/tools/patchdemo. - Do you think it could make sense to incorporate
tools/in the link? I know that there are other pages in that site that are not individual tools (e.g. https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/published-lists), but I would say that linking to specific tools would be main use of this interwiki prefix. - Alternatively, there could be another interwiki prefix (
toolhubtool:?...) which would allow linking specifically to a tool's page. WDYT? Waldyrious (talk) 14:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)- One mapping per site should always be sufficient. Two ways that this is possible to achieve it, we rewrite to the /tools/$1 or you see if the site can do a url rewrite for shortened form. Not for me to make a recommendation. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:24, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Freenode
- Freenode • global-search
I am proposing the removal of this interwiki prefix after enough time has passed since IRC/Migrating to Libera Chat. Looking at the global search results above, it looks like it is just used 7 times Wikimedia-wide, with just 3 in a non-archive NS_PROJECT page, which can be easily updated to the actual links in the Libera.Chat network, should those channels exist using the and considering that the community decided to move away from freenode due to general concerns about the network under the new leadership, I do not think we should keep supporting this IW prefix in this list. Thank you, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:52, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
irc/ircs. 7 uses Wikimedia-wide do not justify an interwiki link,
- I made a mistake in the above search not using the case-insensitive option. Using that option and narrowing the search to the Main, Project and Template namespaces, it's actually 104 links that would break. Templates can be easily updated to use
irc:orircs:where needed, as well as Main and Project pages. In any case, I'd appear from the results that this interwiki link was used only to link to Wikimedia-specific IRC channels that are no longer in that network, so I'd rather replace those existing in the visible non-archived/non user/user-talk pages and break the rest. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Support, I’m of the opinion that there should be less entries in the map in general, unless there is a pressing genuine need. EpicPupper (talk) 20:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Comment proposal seems reasonable, the links should be converted to full urls, then we can progress to removal. No further record would need to be maintained. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:42, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- @MarcoAurelio: if you think that we should not touch the links, then please add the section on Interwiki map/discontinued#Freenode with the text you desire, and I will create a static url to that target. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:47, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Update Special:Code prefixes

[[rev:$1]]currently links tohttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/$1. This should be updated tohttps://static-codereview.wikimedia.org/MediaWiki/$1.html. Thanks! --Nintendofan885 (talk) 18:58, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

- This would break links like rev:r1, because the rewrites for Special:Code currently strip an optional "r" prefix since the HTML files are just
<number>.html. The r-stripping rewrite could be done on the static-codereview side, but someone would have to do it and I'm not sure anyone is really interested in changing that... Legoktm (talk) 19:06, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Comment @Nintendofan885: it seems that you will need to get a phabricator: ticket undertaken per Legoktm's use case examples prior to any change. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

support.apple.com
support.apple.com
- Link: https://support.apple.com/$1
- Prefix:
apples - Example: apples:HT201300
Over 1,100 links from the English Wikipedia, the nice thing is links to (for example) HT201300 automatically expand out to the detected/selected language of the visitor, so a link to https://support.apple.com/HT201300 expands to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201300 for me. There appears to be other deeplink magic potentially at work as well. I've no objection to apple being the prefix, but I'm not sure if that would conflict with any future proposal for a direct apple: → https://www.apple.com/$1 proposal, hence the additional "s" in the proposed prefix. —Locke Cole • t • c 22:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Question Why not just make this a local template? Do we anticipate that we'll need to use this on Wikivoyage and Wikiversity as well? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:03, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- A local template wouldn't see the consistent support that an interwiki prefix would provide. Links to support.apple.com are used over 1,000 times on the German Wikipedia, and seems to enjoy wide use on other language Wikipedia projects. —Locke Cole • t • c 06:14, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Criteria 4 and 5 may be relevant: be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license) and be a wiki. Additionally, apples as a prefix is confusing (it looks like a plural of apple). EpicPupper (talk) 23:37, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- To quote the great Captain Hector Barbossa "the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules". As to
applesvs.apple, I suppose an alternative would beapplesupport. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:57, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- To quote the great Captain Hector Barbossa "the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules". As to
- Oppose - I do not think linking to this site would be at all helpful for Wikimedia projects. Apple's support website is not a wiki, thus we should not be treating it as such. Aasim 15:28, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Awesome Aasim: As I indicated in the request, there are over 1,100 links just from the English Wikipedia, with other projects also linking to Apple Support as well. "Apple's support website is not a wiki, thus we should not be treating it as such." IMDbName:, IMDbTitle:, IMDbCompany:, irc:, ISSN:, LiberaChat:, listarchive:, Luxo:, Mail:, mailarchive:, MediaZilla:, MozillaZineKB:, MusicBrainz:, MWOD:, MWOT:, NARA:, RFC:, slashdot:, SourceForge:, et al. would like a word. —Locke Cole • t • c 01:36, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

- There's actually 1,100 reasons just on the English Wikipedia. —Locke Cole • t • c 01:25, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I cannot say that I favour the proposal. (some thoughts) This is not typically what we have done, and as has been mentioned a template can manage this, especially if you have Wikidata items where you can have the syntaxed formulaic urls. People won't be looking for this use case, and it is not something where we readily do a lookup or good guess through likeness. We are without explanation of how static are the target urls, and their uses. Re the numbers of uses, yes, the number is sufficient, though that number is well below many others that do not have interwikis. The argument of "is/isn't a wiki" is informative rather than normative, and we have smaller numbers of local and non-local "not wiki" uses. The scope is somewhat limited to wikipedias, and not other sisters, and would seem that it would be usable in big wikis where it is advertise and known. So in the end I do not see this case as having a compelling argument to have an interwiki. Re the proposed name, no, if we did it would be something like applesupport. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:59, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

https://hour.dcwwiki.org/event/dcw-conversation-hour-april-2023/ - Interwiki:
dcwh:event/dcw-conversation-hour-april-2023/ - Hello, this is a website intended for DCW Conversation Hour, an initiative of Deoband Community Wikimedia, a recognised user-group affiliate. Currently, the capacity is that a single session is hosted in a month, but it might increase anytime soon. We often need to put it in the news at Deoband Community Wikimedia/News and are looking forward to standardising DCW Conversation Hour and relevant pages as well. This is not a malware site. It would be very helpful if interwiki is considered in this case. The main website of the affiliate at dcwwiki.org is under construction, for which, we might request an interwiki, once it is live and ready. Regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:40, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- How about setting up dcw: for www.dcwwiki.org ? I believe you can have a redirect from www.dcwwiki.org/hour/ to hour.dcwwiki.org/ , which can be extended to other subdomains beyond "hour" if necessary. The second part would probably have to be done internally in the dcwwiki server, but I think the required configuration would be minimal. whym (talk) 08:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Whym, I am relatively new to this page and I was guided to here by Chris from Diff. Your suggestion looks helpful and and I have set a redirect from www.dcwwiki.org/hour/ to hour.dcwwiki.org/ but afaics, it works only for the mainpage. If we set up dcw: for the main website, how would we produce an interwiki to for example to this event page? ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- This could be of more help in future once the DCW website is live. The priority of the Hour is because it is already live and we are standardising it, and we it would really help us for maintaining Template:DCW CH footer, at the least, but having dcw: to the main dcwwiki.org would be more pretty because we are going to have much more for sharing at DCW through the main website. I however need some guidance. From the hour subdomain, we only need events to be interwiki-linked. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:08, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- The exact server configuration depends on your setup. If you are using a managed service, the feature might be called "wildcard redirect". If it's not a managed service, the terminology and technology can vary. For the Apache software, it should look like this.
- That said, if it's only for maintaining a template, an interwiki might be an overkill. Isn't it sufficient to make another template like Template:DCWH so that {{DCWH|abc}} would generate https://hour.dcwwiki.org/event/abc ? whym (talk) 11:35, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Whym, I did not mean that the interwiki is needed to only manage the template but it is part of the whole process, and events are the only thing besides the homepage (hour.dcwwiki.org) that need to be interwiki-linked. Once the dcwwiki website is live, a plenty of links are going to get along in DCW/news and other areas. I'd be glad to consider the template formula as well but I am not a master in template making and would need some assistance. Let me explore all this and get back to here. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:23, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Whym, so, I have got something to do. For example, the event link, https://dcwwiki.org/event/dcw-conversation-hour-april-2023/, would be redirecting a visitor to https://hour.dcwwiki.org/event/dcw-conversation-hour-april-2023/ and I will have to do this with every event but the configuration is very minimal. Now that this puzzle is solved, we can have dcw: set for www.dcwwiki.org, and dcw:event/dcw-conversation-hour-april-2023 would take a person directly to event page at https://hour.dcwwiki.org/event/dcw-conversation-hour-april-2023/. By this way, the interwiki would work for everything that we would want to link from the main website once it is live. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:52, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- I'm glad that it's working for you. So it sounds like your new proposal would be dcw: → dcwwiki.org. Can you modify the link/prefix/example/interwiki items at the top of this thread to reflect that? I think you can wrap the old ones with <s>...</s> when doing so. whym (talk) 07:49, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- whym Done. Please let me know if there is any error. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:57, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Comment @SWinxy: We would be better to make redirect these to Interwiki map/discontinued as a holistic static url with explanations. If you can build some text there, then we can retarget.

- You may be able to locate the content you were looking for by using the search functionality on the Project Gutenberg website. Copies of the wiki are also available in a number of archiving services, such as the internet archive.

Current URL pattern
http://www.wowwiki.com/$1
Proposed URL pattern
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/$1
This one is a bit complex, and requires a bit of explanation. As far as I can work out the sequence of events is as follows:
- WoWWiki is founded as an independent wiki at the domain in the interwiki map.
- WowWiki is acquired by wikia, and moved to a wikia domain. This upset some of the community, who forked to make a parallel wiki on gamepedia.
- wikia renames to fandom, and WoWWiki is moved to a fandom domain.
- Gamepedia is acquired by fandom, and the wow gamepedia wiki becomes a fandom wiki. Because both wikis are now on the fandom platform they decide to merge.
- A new merged wiki, wowpedia, is created, the content of wowwiki is moved to https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/ and the wiki is locked.
At the moment the URL in the interwiki redirects you to https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/. This wiki is dead, it has been locked for editing by fandom, every page seems to be a mess of broken lua modules and templates, and the top of every page contains a massive banner telling you the content has moved to wowpedia. I think the interwiki should be updated to point at the wowpedia domain, which is an active wiki that contains the merged content of wowwiki and the gamepedia fork. 192.76.8.66 17:05, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

This site seems to have moved URLs. If the usage stats in Interwiki map/detailed table are accurate and this has a single incoming link we should remove for lack of usage. 192.76.8.66 16:52, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

- As the LinkSearch above suggests, an updated pattern of
http://wenq.org/wqy2/index.cgi?$1could be beneficial for pages like en:WenQuanYi and zh:文泉驿正黑体. The existing external links to be replaced might not be many enough, though.

Proposing removal due to it's very low usage and apparent lack of activity on the site for quite some time, therefore an interwiki link does not seem necessary nor useful to have. The latest 90 days only spambots have edited. The wiki may have some useful (although potentially outdated) content though.

The website this is supposed to link to has been deleted by its owner and replaced by a message that the site will remain down until they receive an apology. The Wikis.com domain has a notice on it saying it is for sale. I don't have access to the global search tool as an IP editor but I did a manual search on about a dozen projects and was unable to find any usages of this interwiki prefix except in test pages and lists of interwikis. The combination of what appears to be non-existent usage (someone please check this) and the dead site and the very niche topic of the wiki (a programming language that was discontinued in 2007) make removal seem sensible. 192.76.8.66 13:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

- wikidata status: Done
I've been debating whether to list this as a "update to https" case or a "remove" case, I could be swayed either way but for now I'm putting it here. This is a wiki documenting the unreal engine, in my opinion this is a niche topic that would fail to meet the "be useful on a significant number of pages" criteria that would be expected of an addition these days. When I visited the site it became apparent that the wiki was fairly unreadable due to display issues - the text starts about 2" off the left hand side of the browser window, so the start of each line is missing. I tried to click a wikilink, and instead of being taken to a new page I was presented with a full page popup advert. According to the detailed list this only had about a dozen uses in 2019. Between the niche topic, lack of use, obtrusive ads and broken site I think removal would be best here. 192.76.8.66 17:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed URL pattern

This wiki was migrated to fandom in 2022 and the old URL's turned into redirects, the URL pattern should be updated to point at the new site. This would also have the advantage of forcing https.
Before making this change, however, it would probably be worth considering if this interwiki prefix is worth keeping. I can't use the cross wiki search tool, but the wiki this points to has only 700 pages, has had 2 edits in the last month and seems rather niche.

This is a bit of an odd request, I'm listing it here as a first step but really this is a "repurpose the interwiki for something else" request.
At the moment the MusicBrainz interwiki does not lead to the actual content of the MusicBrainz site, it leads to an internal documentation wiki/site containing instructions on how to use and edit MusicBrainz. I don't see why we would need to link to internal MusicBrainz help pages frequently enough to merit an interwiki, and according to the detailed list this has very few uses. We do, however, have hundreds of thousands of pages across multiple projects linking to MusicBrainz content pages, via things like authority control templates.
I therefore am proposing that the current MusicBrainz interwiki is discontinued, and any uses are cleaned up. It may then be possible to follow this up with another request, adding a new MusicBrainz interwiki targeting the content pages of that site, which are widely used and where, in my opinion, an interwiki link would be much more useful. 192.76.8.66 15:21, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

The Https part of this site seems to be dead - it produces "connection refused" errors. The interwiki should be updated to explicitly use the http site which is still functional. 192.76.8.66 16:16, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- a couple of uses, I would suggest that links be updated to urls, and we remove. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:16, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

- This was added in 2020 per Talk:Interwiki map/Archives/2020#Glottopedia. While it's not caught on very much the same principles that applied in 2020 resulting in its addition don't appear to have changed much so I see no reason to remove. * Pppery * it has begun 18:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Update to https. This is preserved as a read only archive and seems to be sort of falling to bits, so we should prepare for the possibility that this site may not be accessible in the future. 192.76.8.66 15:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Updated. Only a few uses total so should be removed entirely IMO. * Pppery * it has begun 23:46, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Criteria for listing and delisting
We have a criteria for suggested listings into the interwiki map, and that is around an expected usage. We don't tend to review the workable functioning of a listing and at what point we declare whether the listing is meeting its aim of easy wikilinking, or whether a full url would be or should be the best.
I think that it is time for a root and branch discussion on what should and should not be on the list, and the criteria for listing and delisting. At the moment, conversations stay open for a while and it is the lack of clarity of the value to the target sites, or to the WMF wikis of that listing.
This is a heads up only, and it may turn into something more fully fledged, or it may not. If someone likes writing RFCs, then go for it, it is not my area of excitement. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:27, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- In my opinion the key things for a good interwiki are: (a) that it should be a site that is linked to frequently (b) across a range of projects and (c) where we can trust that the majority of links that are added are going to be "good".
- I think the current criteria for adding an interwiki focus too much on the site having alignment with the values of WMF projects. The 7 criteria listed currently are:
- be useful on a significant number of pages
- provide clear and relevant use to the Wikimedia projects, including the purpose of the site
- be trusted not to encourage spam links being added to the Wikimedia projects
- be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license)
- be a wiki
- have reasonable amounts of content
- not contain malware
- Of these point 5 (be a wiki) and point 6 (be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license)) are both widely ignored in practice and in principle don't actually affect whether an interwiki would be used or useful. According to the 2019 stats dump at Interwiki map/detailed table a lot of the really highly used interwikis are links to tools and services that are not wikis (phabricator, irc, mailing lists, ticket systems etc), and standard identifiers (doi, pubmed), which may lead to non-free content. Neither of those are actually allowed under current policy, but both have proven to be very useful to editors.
- In my opinion points 1, 2 and 6 are three different ways of expressing the idea that the site should have content that is going to be useful in lots of places on wmf projects, I think they could probably be merged into a single point to the effect of "contain content that is going to be linked to on a significant number of pages on multiple projects".
- I also think the addition criteria should include a point to the effect of "we should trust that this site is still going to exist in 10 years time, and that any interwiki links are going to work". There are a lot of sites currently in the interwiki map that seem to have been single person operations that have since vanished leading to a lot of dead links. I think that adding interwikis to "internal" site functionality also needs extra consideration, we should be making sure that such links aren't going to stop working the next time a website gets restructured (see the c2find interwiki for an example).
- In terms of removals, I think that at the minimum we should be removing sites that are dead, sites that are unusably broken, sites that have been restructured in a way that the interwikis have been broken and cannot be fixed, and interwikis which have basically no usage and have little chance of being widely used. A lot of the the last case of interwikis are going to be "grandfathered" things left over from when this page was open to ip editing and sites were being added with little oversight. 192.76.8.66 17:08, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I concur and add that we could straight up delete criteria 5 and 6, since actual usage has shown they actually run contrary to what editors want for interwiki prefixes. UndueMarmot (talk) 13:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've just processed several addition requests for sites that aren't wikis. Agree that criterion should be deleted as not reflecting reality. * Pppery * it has begun 18:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I've updated the criteria since there seems to be a consensus to do so here. I don't think any broader restructurings of how the interwiki map functions are useful to discuss at this point since it's currently a one-man operation managed only by me, and before I got involved with it it had been ignored for ages, so I'm going to mark this section for archival. * Pppery * it has begun 05:13, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Dead, attempting to access this site results in an NXDOMAIN error. According to Interwiki map/detailed table this has/had hundreds of uses. I suggest remapping this to point at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Venezuela, to match what has been done with a number of other dead chapter sites. 192.76.8.66 16:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Multiple uses, would need to be remapped with explanation. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- This is no longer a nxdomain, it's now a wordpress site saying "this site is under maintenance". Not sure what to do here. * Pppery * it has begun 22:35, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi there! The site is under maintenance, due to a failed provider's change. The chapter isn't dead. We're working to solve it. Thanks! --Ybsen lucero (talk) 10:38, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
