Hi all,
I just noticed that interwiki mappings have been established
from (at least) en.wikipedia to wikicities (e.g.
[[Wikicities:c:StarWars:Jedi]]).
I wonder, could someone point me to the discussion which preceeded
this decision?
This is the case for many wikis. There isn't any discussion of these
since they can just be added to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map which is a publicly
editable page.
Wikicities is in the interwiki map, along with dozens of other wikis.
Redirects within the Wikicities set up allows the use of c:WikiName to
be a link to a particular Wikicity (this prevents each individual
Wikicity needing to be added).
There are help pages on this at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking and
http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Help:Interwiki_link
The idea is explained at
http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?InterWiki and
used on many wikis (see <http://www.google.com/search?q=InterWikiMap>)
