Forum:Interwiki

Yes! Hello! It's me again, the administrator of the french wiki (http://docteurwho.wikia.com/wiki/Accueil)

I just made application to have interwiki links between our two wikis (here: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Interwiki_requests#A_Doctor_Who_request ) and I was wondering if I could have some help to link the 500 (maybe 400 since I have pages for things you don't have) and more I have with yours and vice-versa?

It would be quite easy, but more a monk task, the tip for doing it is looking at my pages without interlink (http://docteurwho.wikia.com/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Sans_interwiki ) and just find their equivalent in english, adding links in french and english and go to the next.

It will require, however, a basic knowledge of french (lots of pages might seems harmless, but I don't have the same system to name the pages, i.e.: Orbis is the main page for the audio story and Orbis (planète) describe the planet but in your wiki, you have Orbis for the planète and Orbis (audio story) for the audio story.

I will do the most of the works, but help is always welcome :)

Oh! And I made request for your wiki to eventually be linked to those in deutsch, russian,... in case you want to create it in the future.

The application is written, I will greenlight it with instruction as soon as the interwiki is working well.

Greenlight! And it's working.

Okay, how to do it: Choose an article in the http://docteurwho.wikia.com/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Sans_interwiki, find it's equivalent in english and add at the end of the page name of the english article for the french page and name of the french article for the english page. If there is no equivalent, do NOT put anything. The page Doctor Who has already been done if you want to check it out.

I've done from A Day in the Death to CBBC, I'll continue later this day. Please warn me about which letters you are going to do so we don't bother the other. --4me 21:02, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

I've done everything from Calufrax to Flesh and Stone, I'll continue tomorrow. So the letters A to E are all done, all the pages showing at http://docteurwho.wikia.com/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Sans_interwiki do not have existing english equivalents. --4me 01:28, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Done up to Jacqueline Rayner (included), I'll continue later today. --4me 21:56, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Done up to Lance Parkin (included), I'll continue later tomorrow. --4me 02:45, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Works done!
Many thanks to User:Nyktimos and one other user that I can't remember the name. I will be able to create the interwiki in the future on the new pages that shows up on my wiki or the other but then, it's not an excuse not to come and help the french wikia! :) --4me 23:53, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Problems
Dunno that much about the coding of Interwiki links, but can anyone who may be following this thread remove the sidebar link to the Hebrew DW wikia? That's a "false" wikia that has 0 articles, and we don't want the sidebar suggesting that people might be able to get a Hebrew translation when none are available.

 * Also, we need a link in that "languages" sidebar to the Bulgarian wikia, which is active.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  20:56, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
