How to link to beta.wikiversity?
editHi! I would like to add Template:GFDL and Category:GFDL etc. to the relevant items on Wikidata. For example d:Q5816752. But I can't figure out how to do that. Do you know if it is possible to connect beta.wikiversity via Wikidata or some change of configuration is needed first? MGA73 (talk) 06:01, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. There are a few wikis that are not supported for sitelinks and betawikiversity is one of them. In theory this could be changed of cause, but I always assumed that this is itentional not possible. --Ameisenigel (talk) 06:31, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- That was fast! I know of no other wikis that can't be linked. Do you think community would mind if it was made possible? The best way to make users contribute is if they know about the wiki. --MGA73 (talk) 08:30, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- The problem with betawikiversity, oldwikisource and incubator is that these projects may have multiple pages about the same topic because of their multilingual nature. Personally I do not have any concerns about enabling sitelinks to betawikiversity. There have already been some discussion about this in the past, so you might be interested in phab:T54971. --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:39, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Oldwikisource can be linked (example oldwikisource:Template:GFDL). But I see that there are some concern about adding links to beta because some content is temporary. So unless it is possible to restrict the access to only allow content outside the main namespace it will be hard to make everyone happy. So I guess it will not be an easy task to get support for such a change.
- I have been trying to complete the w:en:Wikipedia:Image license migration on all wikis and then I found out an "unknown" wiki exist :-D Do you think the content in Category:NowCommons can be deleted? --MGA73 (talk) 16:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think so. Perhaps recently active sysop @Sotiale: may take care of this. --Ameisenigel (talk) 17:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
