This seems to be a kind of business/tech wiki encyclopedia. I agree with C933103 that it certainly has a lot of content, but I can't help but wonder if this site's mission overlaps too much with Wikipedia's. I don't know why WMF wikis would be needing to link to this site, and indeed, only 3 articles on each of enwiki and zhwiki link to this site. This, that and the other (talk) 09:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
This is a encyclopedia for economic/management aspect with the objective of creating/sharing knowledge of in this aspect. (does mission overlap prevent mediawiki creating interwiki link to the site?)(it had been discussed sometime ago to use some of its content onto chinese wikipedia but as far as i know it is not done because of its unclear copyright notice)C933103 (talk) 10:50, 4 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Looking at requirements:
  1. provide clear and relevant use to the Wikimedia projects No (and this one is very important)
  2. be trusted not to encourage spam links being added to the Wikimedia projects Yes (won't be spammed)
  3. be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license) Yes (CC BY-SA 3.0 by default [1])
  4. be a wiki Yes obviously
  5. have reasonable amounts of content No (AFAICS)
  6. not contain malware Yes obviously
PiRSquared17 (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Can't say anything for 1 really but in regards to 5, since it is a wiki farm - the wikis in it count as content points. One to see is this wiki. A few others exist but probably not contributing anything to Wikimedia per se John F. Lewis (talk) 17:03, 18 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
AFAICS, that wiki seems to just be a MediaWiki fork of tvtropes.org, which already has an interwiki prefix (tvtropes:). PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:09, 18 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Considering this. I would appreciate it if This, that and the other would comment. PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:37, 6 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
I note that Wikia is in the interwiki map, while ShoutWiki is not, for whatever reason. From a content perspective, Orain presently seems closer to ShoutWiki than Wikia. I personally would be in favour of adding both ShoutWiki and Orain simply for completeness' sake, but that's just a personal thing and not necessarily supported by strong, accepted reasons.
On the technical side, interwiki links to individual Orain wikis appear impossible with their current setup. They need a central redirector like Wikia, or at least to put all their wikis on their interwiki map. This, that and the other (talk) 08:04, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

ICANNWiki, the independent collaborative resource for the ICANN community.

  • There is Top Level Domain explosion. WikiPedia do not allow creating pages for every top level domain.
  • This wiki contains very detailed information about all the generic top level domains.
  • Has many other topics related with the top level domains, such as DNSSEC.
  • Some of ICANNWiki sponsors are Google, VeriSign, ICANN, Donuts, Sedo, Dyn, DotAfrica, Radix.
Wikipedia has allowed pages about every top-level domain. There are hundreds of country-level domains, for instance. Not sure what "sponsors" have to do with anything, as we are not for sale? K7L (talk) 17:02, 6 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
K7L, check out w:Template:Generic_top-level_domains, I have created some pages like w:.ninja etc, they have all been proposed for deletion or they were redirected. Plus, I have been blocked for a week for mass creating new pages (they claimed that for example .ninja is not popular thus cannot be created). Okay, if this is the case let's at least link them to ICANN Wiki. --Kirov Airship (talk) 17:08, 6 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oppose Oppose, massive spamming for new TLDs on enwiki, actually a case for the spamblock instead of the interwiki list. –Be..anyone (talk) 10:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
You mean this site has been spammed as an external link? This, that and the other (talk) 11:03, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes, some rather poor enwiki new TLD stubs with a link to this site as everything remotely resembling a notable 3rd party reference (not counting ICANN itself as 3rd party.) Not their fault, they are also victims of the new TLD flood. –Be..anyone (talk) 21:36, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
As a general comment, this wiki does seem very detailed, particularly in regards to gTLDs, but I also wonder about how serious it is. It seems to include a cartoon drawing of each individual alongside their photo, which is really bizarre. Does anyone know if it is an official ICANN-sanctioned project? It claims to be, but I wonder... This, that and the other (talk) 11:08, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Having looked more closely, it does seem to be a perfectly serious wiki - the "caricatures" just being a part of its community identity - and I would Support Support this addition. The fact that the site was spammed isn't necessarily the fault of the wiki operators, and the potential for legitimate use is clear. This, that and the other (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Mobile version of WMF wikis

Could we have some interwiki for the mobile version of the current wiki (the one where the interwiki is inserted)? E.g. [[something:here]] would point to https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/here, and on Portuguese Wikipedia it would point to https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/here. Helder 22:47, 8 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

What would the purpose be? As far as I know, we also don't have interwiki links for e.g. the monobook or modern skin, and use "?useskin=monobook" resp. "?useskin=modern" when linking instead (the same way you can link to the mobile skin minerva using "?useskin=minerva"). Vogone (talk) 07:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Apparently the table can only do //some.thing.example/$1 for the current scheme (http: or https:) and other://some.thing.example/$1 for other schemes (ftp:, irc:, http:, https: at the moment), but not something else depending on the current URL. Maybe that could be handled as phabricator: request, I'm not aware of any "mobile URL of current URL" magic word. On Wikia somebody created a "skinswitch" button (=tab on monobook, a script) to flip from monobook to oasis or mobile for quick tests, doing what Vogone said. –Be..anyone (talk) 12:40, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Well, I wanted to link to <someCodeForMobile>:Special:PermaLink/40773227#Solução em Rn on the edit summary for this change. Helder 18:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think it would be helpful to add the WMF's Vote Wiki, since it is one of the few WMF wikis not yet on the list. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 21:29, 12 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

What makes you think so? Is there any need to link it? As far as I remember, Special:SecurePoll already fulfills the purpose of directing to votewiki in case of ongoing elections. Vogone (talk) 07:34, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
In the top 40 (see above) two 2013 links from w:id:, two 2014 links from w:en:, and one user page link to the votewiki main page explaining that there should be no need to edit votewiki, and that Special:Securepoll on local wikis is supposed to handle votes on votewiki. 26 users including you and 12 blocked users contributed to 38 pages. –Be..anyone (talk) 12:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
It is possible that the elections committees will be using it more to archive things - but it is a fair point that as of this moment, the usage is low. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 14:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Just used "votewiki" on Wikimedia Forum and was shocked that it didn't work. Shocked more that we don't have any prefix for the wiki. Went here in order to request one but as there's already a request I endorse it. To be forced to link to a wikimedia wiki in external link style is mildly speaking weird. Even if it won't be highly used prefix it should exist IMHO. --Base (talk) 16:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Agreed -- it should be added if only for consistency PiRSquared17 (talk) 07:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Base: For what purpose did you need to link it? --Vogone (talk) 18:23, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Vogone: for pointing to a file in there which very badly violates WMF licensing policy. --Base (talk) 06:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I also support a votewiki prefix. Usage will be low but it's natural to assume there will be a prefix and spend time looking for it. I wanted it for two links at w:Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2015#Arbcom elections (permanent link). I wrote: Pages like https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/560 will sometimes display https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Securepoll-not-logged-in which only says "You must log in to vote in this election".

PokéWiki is one of the largest German Pokémon fansites and the largest German Pokémon Wiki with more than 19000 content pages.

There are 4 links only in content space. [5] Besides, as far as I know, there are few to no free-content wikis on wikiwiki.jp. On the contrary to the statement "Its edit history are anonymous thus its content would automatically fall into public domain", Japanese laws recognize anonymous authors' copyright. As soon as an anonymous author registers to the authority, and unless counter evidence is provided, her copyright becomes effective. [6] whym (talk) 09:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

I have nothing against the Internet Archive but I don't see why we need an interwiki prefix for this. On the other hand I don't see why not. @Nemo bis: what do you think? PiRSquared17 (talk) 06:55, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I'd say absolutely not, because 1) allowed wayback URLs are too complex and not all of them are linkable with an interwiki link; 2) wayback archives anything, therefore it clearly doesn't satisfy the "no spam" requirement which is the most important. --Nemo 07:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
better use case required as it can be a means to link to dubious sites, and such links could be subverted by interwiki.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
with the proposed link scheme, if a user want to link to archive of e.g. http://site.com, he would still have to type [[:wayback:http://site.com]] and I think the spam filter can function normally here. However I see the point of why this kind of link would not be desired to be shown as interwiki and thus I am not going to reopen this proposal.C933103 (talk) 12:14, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I do not think that we should. A pastebin does not sound like a tool that we wish to provide clean access to without a demonstrated need. It is too easy to abuse once it is interwiki'd and I cannot see a demonstrated use case put forward. Please reopen only if there is a demonstrated use case, and that would probably need invitations to the wikis to contribute. I just see danger, and once we add one of these scenarios, we would need to open up to many more such sites.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:39, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I would prefer to not have a namespace extension by preference.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:13, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Billinghurst: I guess that does make sense. Adding the Person namespace can be done by hand or by template. A vast majority of the site is person records but there are also lineages and what have you. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:00, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

WikiPapers is an academic wiki based on MediaWiki. In its words, it's goal is to produce a "compilation of resources (conference papers, journal articles, theses, books, datasets and tools) focused on the research of wikis. It aims to create the most comprehensive literature compilation for this research area." [8]

This makes it particularly relevant to Wikimedia sites, and it is indeed linked to from Meta and several Wikipedias. Its limited scope (academic publications about wikis) makes it an unlikely target for spam or malware. The content is under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Because WikiPapers uses Semantic MediaWiki, this makes it possible to organize metadata about those publications in a structured format. In the future, WikiPapers might be made obsolete by something like LibraryBase, but in the meantime WikiPapers is a great complement to templated citations.

w:Vikidia ( https://www.vikidia.org/ ) is a wiki encyclopedia for children. It is available in several languages although French is the first in date and far most active version, with 22000 articles now. There is also versions in Spanish, Italian, English (about), Catalan and Basque. They would be reachable with a combined prefix such as vikidia:es: (unless the prefix used on Wikipedia can lead to the version on Vikidia on the same language ?) We also have an independant homologous in Dutch : http://wikikids.nl/ with which we share interlanguage links.

Vikidia really has a similar fonctionning and aim as Wikipedia, thought for children. We usually put links on the Wikipedia's mainspace to Vikidia with much caution, still we need it sometimes and we consider doing this some more if appropriate and accepted: we started to present and discuss it here. At last many users are both on the Wikimedia projects and on Vikidia, thus indicate their userpage from one wiki to another.

The content is under the same licenses as Wikipedia.

An API query http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=iwbacklinks&iwblprefix=wikitravel&iwbllimit=500 was mentioned on voy:project:Travellers' Pub but it seems to check only one wiki at a time. A toolserver SQL string is of no use to anyone other than an actual toolserver user (which seems to be just a limited few around here). Certainly the global list of wikitravel: spam is invaluable and something wikivoyageurs will want to know if all those links need to be updated, but it would seem we need the same info for every prefix deletion request here if the sole criterion for deletion is to be use or lack of use on individual wikis. K7L (talk) 16:39, 14 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
The list has already been provided above, but 1) no it's not the sole criterion but surely a requirement; 2) it's not for w:WP:BEANS so if people start pseudo-vandalising wikis I won't produce such lists any longer; 3) wikivoyagers have surely better things to do than removing links to their own wiki (see #Requests for updates). --Nemo 00:58, 15 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
If it's "not the sole criterion but surely a requirement" for any removal request, that's going to affect every request... not just links to one particular wiki (which I won't discuss right now as it's currently in TfD on en: and Pages à Supprimer on fr:). There needs to be some sort of web interface to this toolserver script so anyone can run this query for any prefix before opening a discussion here - much like any WP:AFC n00b simply clicks on "webreflinks" or "citation bot" from an en.wp template to watch those tools do some useful task.

Although the data returned by the interwiki table and PiRSquared's wmflabs tool is incomplete (it lacks interwiki links that were added to pages that haven't been touched [edited or null edited] within the last ~6 years IIRC), I think it is quite safe to remove those prefixes from the map.

I can't really imagine this website being useful enough to be listed as an interwiki link. It's basically a wiki devoted to a bunch of clubs in London.

It pains my heart, however the former cornerstone of open source movement is now owned by @$^%#$^s who are using it for distributing malware[11][12], etc. In this situation, I believe we should not encourage linking to SF anymore.

At the moment Google says "Some pages on sourceforge.net are not safe to visit right now" [13] I'm a user of the site and had no issues so far, and they did something about their weird strategy to keep projects moving away against their will (i.e., I'd hope they stopped that abuse). I'm also a user of NIRsoft, which had a similar "not safe to visit" issue, which was unjustified (some password recovery tools tagged as PUP, potentially unwanted programs), so what is the current state for SF, are they as bad as download.com?

CreaturesWiki

The Creatures Wiki has separated from Wikia and is now hosted at //creatures.wiki/$1 - please update the CreaturesWiki: interwiki. GreenReaper (talk) 20:57, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Comment Comment Is CreaturesWiki a direct replica linkwise? (well at least at the time of separation). What is the existing state of the wikia version, and its future?  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yes. The XML import from August 15 contains a complete edit history. Current versions of images were uploaded. The recent changes for creatures.wiki and creatures.wikia.com speak to the relative editor population. Wikia has control over the wikis it runs and tends to keep them up regardless for the sake of traffic, but the Creatures community is relatively small and close-knit - I don't see many people editing there with the main sites announcing the move and changing their links. (The domain creatureswiki.net was created in advance after a prior dispute, and now redirects to creatures.wiki.) GreenReaper (talk) 01:59, 2 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
I am okay with making the change, though will leave it for another day or so for other comment.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:17, 2 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
I hate to flip-flop, but in the last 24 hours I've found that the new host has a personal animosity against me, and is using their status to refuse to restore my sysop/bureaucrat rights, without community support. They also kicked me off a chat service used for related discussions (which is moving as a result). They own the creatures.wiki domain, and this makes me hesitant to continue to support the change I proposed. Moving away from Wikia is beneficial, but if the new system administrator is willing to abuse their power, we may have to move again very soon. I still hope this issue can be resolved amicably, and if so I will report back here. GreenReaper (talk) 19:33, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Oppose, delete the old entry as redundant for wikia:creatures:Special:Recentchanges per nom, and close this request as withdrawn by nominator. There are zero links to creatures.wiki in the top 40, and only 28 links (17 en + 3 de + 3 fr + 5 singletons) in the top 40 somehow arrive on creatures.wikia.com.

Maybe we are talking about 20 Interwiki links outnumbering the two communities by a broad margin. Disclaimer, I haven't checked that {{LinkSummary}} supports TLD .wiki. –Be..anyone (talk) 01:10, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

DOI

dx.doi.org now has https support. The interwiki should be made protocol-relative. Per [14], better not make it https-only for now, as the secure version is slightly slower. I'm told they'll tell us if/when they are read to receive all traffic to https. --Nemo 08:17, 21 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

IRC and Freenode

All modern IRC clients have SSL/TLS support; since Freenode has as well, I hereby suggest changing the "Freenode" and "IRC" entries of the Interwiki map from "irc://irc.freenode.net/$1" to "ircs://chat.freenode.net:6697/$1". --Pred (talk) 14:36, 1 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

While all modern clients have the support, do all clients have the support?  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
No; without being too sure about it, I would imagine that security was as much as an afterthought for IRC as for any other protocols, and that as a result, no clients that came out in the meantime would have (RFC compliant) support. Wikipedia has an overview of protocol support of current versions of several clients. --Pred (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

The following changes would be useful:

  • http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/$1 (which appears to redirect to https://wiki.python.org/moin ) should be changed to //wiki.python.org/moin/$1
  • http://mercury.it.swin.edu.au/swinbrain/index.php/$1 (which leads to a "Not Found" error page) should be changed to //swinbrain.ict.swin.edu.au/wiki/$1
  • http://tibia.erig.net/$1 should be changed to http://tibia.wikia.org/wiki/$1

http://tibia.wikia.org/wiki/$1 should be http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/$1. http://tibia.wikia.org/wiki/Main_Page fails. http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page works. It was originally added in 2005 by an IP.[19] http://tools.wmflabs.org/pirsquared/iw.php?wikis=&iw=tibiawiki only finds 13 uses: 5 in English talk pages and a sandbox, 8 in the same Portuguese article pt:Demon (Tibia). Now that it's a Wikia wiki with a working wikia:Tibia:Main Page, maybe it should just be removed instead of fixed. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:39, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bot archival

I think that we should be adding {{status}} to each component and getting a bot to archive the respective sections a few days after they are set to done/not done.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:55, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

That's for Steinsplitter to program if he's interested. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 17:03, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
