Hey, I am looking into generalizing how interwiki and interlanguage links are stored. The motivation for this is because what's currently there does not allow holding the information needed to have Wikidata work. Before I continue work on this (ie figuring out how to best modify core code to not break existing features and tools) I'd like some feedback on the schema changes I'm thinking of making. They are described here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jeroen_De_Dauw/Wikibase_sites_and_site_… Some important changes to interwiki/sites compared to the current setup: * Allows having "interlanguage links" that are not "interwiki links" * Allows automatic synchronizing of site definitions between between all clients (ie all Wikipedias). * Site definitions can exist that are not used as "interlanguage link" and not used as "interwiki link" * Allows distinguishing between local and global identifiers * Maps between global and local identifiers * Holds information on the type of site. This way code can know that bugzilla does not have a MW api.php :) The change to the langlinks table is needed to distinguish between links that are defined in local articles and links pulled from an external source so that the code rebuilding links for an article knows to ditch the local notes not in the article but keep the external ones. This is a table with lots of rows. Anyone an estimate on how long it would take to add a boolean field with initial value true? Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic.
