Wikisource Conference 2025/Submissions/Wiktionary+Wikisource=♥
Appearance
- Title of the submitted proposal: Wiktionary+Wikisource=♥
- Description: Wikisource is a large library with all kind of books in several languages. Wiktionary is a dictionary written in several languages, including definitions and examples. Both project are growing for more than two decades and developed connections and synergies. From a readers perspective, there is a user experience that include a navigation through both projects. The examples in Wiktionaries that come from Wikisources books may work as entry doors to guide the readers to the discovery of the library. Readers of Wikisource's books may also look for a definitions of a rare word in Wiktionary. Paths are inconsistent but do exist. Contribution to a project may also include a side or joint contribution to the other, to fix small mistakes or to work on the same topic with two approaches, documenting a period or a profession with the related vocabulary being documented at the same time in the dictionary. Finally, there is dictionaries in the Wikisource corpora, with plenty definitions that could be interesting to compile and display. That is the starting point of the Dicothèque project that would also be discussed! During this lecture, I propose to summarize the existing connections and explore more ways to enhance both Wikimedia projects, for the audience and for the wiki-editing communities.
