wiktionaries
[edit]What about introduce Wikidata to Wiktionaries first? there is easier handling with interwiki links - less interwiki conflicts... :-) JAn Dudík (talk) 20:40, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- The main focus of the initial Wikidata development is Wikipedia. We do keep other projects like Wiktionary in mind with everything we do but they're currently not the main focus. Going for Wiktionary would open a whole new can of worms. The initial roll-outs need to happen in the Wikipedias. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 12:55, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Re "Going for Wiktionary would open a whole new can of worms.", how so? If the issue is the case-sensitive titles, that would have to be dealt with anyway for certain Wikipedias (jbo:, for example). There aren't, as far as I know, any extra technical requirements that the Wiktionaries would have. --Yair rand (talk) 10:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Wikionary's requirements are different enough to make this not trivial. Things like declinations come to mind. The schedule for the initial Wikidata development is extremely tight so we can't do this. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 12:15, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- I don't really understand what declinations have to do with getting an interwiki system working. Certainly it would be nice to eventually have some kind of system for storing that kind of data on Wikidata, but I imagine that would come during or after the infobox phase. What Wiktionaries need in the first phase is simply an interwiki system, just like Wikipedias, without any extra requirements (afaik) at the beginning. --Yair rand (talk) 14:00, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yes but the second phase builds on the first for example. We need to concentrate on one system (Wikipedia) and get it working there before we move on to others. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 15:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
