An interwiki for Fandom currently exists as [[:wikia:]] and its alias [[:wikiasite:]] (along with specific interwikis to certain Fandom-hosted wikis), but there is no alias named "Fandom". Since the site has been renamed, I suggest allowing the new terminology to be used in links as well, to avoid confusion.

Bonjour! uMap is one of the largest multilangual online map service that use layers / opensource / OpenStreetMap. We use it a lot within Wiki pages, not only in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch/*.umap.openstreetmap.fr&limit=500&offset=0&target=http%3A%2F%2F%2A.umap.openstreetmap.fr English] or [https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cial:Recherche_de_lien/*.umap.openstreetmap.fr&limit=500&offset=0&target=http%3A%2F%2F%2A.umap.openstreetmap.fr French], but also in other languages. It would be awesome to have an Interwiki created for uMap. Especially right now, since we're organising the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Contribution Month in Canada 2017|Canadian Contribution Month]]!! Thank you in advance. Best regards, [[User:Benoit Rochon|Benoit Rochon]] ([[User talk:Benoit Rochon|talk]]) 17:24, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
::@[[User:Billinghurst|Billinghurst]], sure, here is some more information about the rename. In 2016, Wikia, a wiki hosting platform founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley Starling, underwent a major rebranding effort and changed its name to Fandom powered by Wikia [https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Craiglpalmer/Wikia_is_now_Fandom_powered_by_Wikia 1]. The name change was announced in a blog post on the Wikia website, which stated that the new name better reflected the platform's focus on communities and fan-created content. In a series of later changes from 2019-2021, all wikis migrated from wikia.org domains to fandom.com domains, and the Wikia branding was stripped completely [https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Wikia.org_domain_migration 2]. These changes were mostly uncontroversial and there was little negative feedback from the Fandom community following them. (Most opposers softened their tone a couple of years after the transition). Even if the community largely did not support these changes, that is irrelevant in this situation as "Fandom" is ultimately the official name of the website. Hope that helps! I think this change is relatively minor as it is merely adding an alias to the existing link, not a completely new one.

:I support this. [[User:Amqui|Amqui]] ([[User talk:Amqui|talk]]) 02:46, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
:[[:wikt:fandom#English|Fandom]] is a generic noun - could that be a problem? "fandomcom", "fandomdotcom" or "fandomwiki" would be more specific. [[User:Whym|whym]] ([[User talk:Whym|talk]]) 11:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
::Can you give some examples of the urls in use and how they are stable. Thanks. &nbsp;— [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 14:24, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
::Looking back, my comment above doesn't sound very meaningful. Let me try again. What I'm uneasy about is that this proposal is to replace a proper noun ("Wikia") to a generic noun which happens to be trademarked ("Fandom"). The change will increase ambiguity. It looks like when English Wikipedia moved the article, they added a disambiguation, probably because "fandom" is too ambiguous: [[:en:Wikia]]→[[:en:Fandom (website)]]. [[User:Whym|whym]] ([[User talk:Whym|talk]]) 14:37, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
:::*{{comment}} At the moment system tells me ... COIBot> 154 records; Top 10 wikis where umap.openstreetmap.fr has been added: w:fr (31), w:de (16), w:en (15), m (8), w:tr (8), w:es (6), www.mediawiki (6), w:ar (5), w:ca (4), de.wikivoyage (4).
:::I don't see the issue that you're trying to solve here and I don't see the ambiguity. If someone is making an inter''wiki'' link with the "fandom" prefix it's obvious that they're trying to link to the website containing a massive wiki farm, they're not going to be trying to link to a music album, a documentary or the abstract concept of "a group of fans".

::I don't know whether both forms work for all Fandom wikis and will continue to work. Considering they ask their own users to write <code>w:c:</code> at [https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Interwiki_links#Linking_to_another_Fandom_wiki], I guess it's safest to use that form. We already say https://community.fandom.com/wiki/w:c:$1 for both <code>wikia:</code>, <code>WikiaSite:</code> and <code>Wikicity:</code>, and I haven't heard complaints about broken links. The proposal is simply to add one more prefix for this. The site has been called [[:w:Fandom (website)|Fandom]] and located at fandom.com for years so it seems reasonable. Four prefixes for the same site is a lot but considering their size and Fandom branding, I don't think we should worry about having a fourth prefix.

The following websites are very widely used on Commons as part of [[:c:Template:Authority control|authority control]], based on the Wikidata properties {{Property|P243}}, {{Property|P213}} and {{Property|P244}}; by creating interwiki prefixes for them, we can link to them using interwiki instead of external link syntax, which is better for the database (see [[:c:Module talk:Authority control#Use interwiki links instead of external links if possible|Commons discussion]] and [[phabricator:T343131|T343131]]). --[[User:Lucas Werkmeister|Lucas Werkmeister]] ([[User talk:Lucas Werkmeister|talk]]) 21:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

There's one user who stuck an interwiki for every two-letter code imaginable inside a display:none across several wikis. There are 10 pages using it as an example of an interwiki despite it not being one. There's a YouTube channel named "LC:AZE" but it's not notable and was deleted but has redlinks in two separate articles. Some old help pages expect it to be documentation on the "lc:" parser function for lowercasing text.

#* Allows easy linking to detailed transit information. The wiki is designed specifically as a travel guide on public transportation. Some users on Wikipedia tried to include detailed transit information for specific locations but got rejected because such information takes too much space relative to other relevant contents and not meeting the purpose of Wikipedia. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Oakland_Coliseum_station#Request_for_comments_on_bus_table_inclusion] for example. Transit.wiki and Wikipedia have separate purposes for the same transit system or transit infrastructure: one focuses on being a user guide and directory, the other focuses on background, history, and controversies.

Italian Wikipedia already tooks data from Hypertrek, but it does not make sense to duplicate that information: this is lenghty manual process. With this conversion, the content of the site was automatically converted to a MediaWiki site and, implementing this interwiki link, all the content con be linked directly from Wikipedia.

Interwiki map entries should generally be removed if the site (or the specific part of the site being linked to) is dead, broken, no longer hosts the content that was intended to be linked to. Legacy interwiki prefixes that never had any non-trivial uses at all can also be removed.

Update to https as it is supported. Again, I really do question whether we need an interwiki to a site that covers only one town - it doesn't seem like it would ever see much use. [[Special:Contributions/192.76.8.66|192.76.8.66]] 15:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
===Uncyclopedia===
: Updated. Has 15 total uses, most of which are files on Commons. Probably warrants removal. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun</sub>]] 23:43, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
I don't understand why Uncyclopedia was [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interwiki_map&diff=9458878&oldid=9445329 added] to this list. The text at the top says "Remember to specify why the prefix would be useful on a significant number of pages on Wikimedia Foundation projects", but I see no reason why anyone would need to link to a little-known humor wiki with no relevance to Wikimedia projects other than claiming to be a parody of Wikipedia. I notice this prefix was [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interwiki_map&diff=1582709&oldid=1578570 removed] in 2009 after [[Talk:Interwiki map/Archives/2009-08#uncyclopedia|this discussion]]. It is also worth noting that there are two Uncyclopedias. The community forked in 2013, and a significant portion of it remained at uncyclopedia.wikia.com, which today is the more active site and ranks higher in search results. (See [[wikipedia:Uncyclopedia]], which links to both sites, and the number of active users listed on their [https://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics statistics] [http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Special:Statistics pages]. Also note that the Wikipedia article does not use the interwiki.) I know the Wikia-hosted version can still be linked to by [[wikia:uncyclopedia:pagename]], but having a dedicated prefix for either site and not the other seems like playing favorites.


=== Wikimedia Quality ===
I might also suggest that uncyclopedia.co is not the kind of site Wikimedia projects would want to be associated with. It is highly male-dominated, as can be seen from their [http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Active_Admins active admins page] which lists several self-identified men but no self-identified women. One of those men wrote [http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/{{urlencode:UnNews:If_I_hear_the_words_"sexual_harassment"_one_more_time...}} this] misguided opinion piece about the #MeToo movement. They also have an associated IRC channel #uncyclopedia where some really vile things have been said including [http://web.archive.org/web/20150315011834/http://www.chronarion.org:80/chirpy2/index.cgi?action=top Holocaust denial]. (Ctrl+F for "holocaust". The comment may have been a joke, but if so it's in bad taste. Bigotry is often framed as "jokes" to make it socially acceptable.) There's more I could say, but I don't think it would be appropriate here. I don't know if Wikimedia sites or the WMF care about the nature of the communities they give traffic to with interwiki links, but if they do, I hope they consider that this one conflicts with their principles.

* Uncyclopedia was added to match the addition to the MediaWiki default interwiki map. I don't think the previous removal discussion is that relevant, given the site forking from Wikia, etc. I don't really follow the line of argumentation about being "male-dominated" (not true, but have you looked at Wikimedia projects?) or IRC comments (have you ever been in #wikipedia-en?) and so on.

*:Of course I'm aware Wikimedia projects are male-dominated, but many members are aware and trying to work against it, and uncyclopedia.co is far more so as evidenced by the link I gave and by who actively edits there. Yes, I am a #wikipedia-en regular. I find it to be a very civilized place where comments like the ones I linked never occur ("the holocaust is a lie made up by the liberal jewish media cabal", "banging my mum is endless enjoyment", "[http://web.archive.org/web/20150315011745/http://www.chronarion.org:80/chirpy2/index.cgi?action=random If you were my fucktoy you wouldn't be semen covered, you'd be semen filled]", etc.). Behavior on #wikipedia-en is well regulated, and the channel has [[IRC/wikipedia/Guidelines|a set of guidelines]], unlike #uncyclopedia which [http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Special:WebChat has no rules at all]. Being a humor wiki does not excuse or explain the kind of conduct I have pointed to. But in any case, as I said, this site is not a useful interwiki link for Wikimedia or almost anything else.

* See as brief example e.g. [[w:en:Price-weighted index]] both reference and external link.

We should not direct readers to a particular finance management company. ''The easiest way to manage & improve your investments ÷ Free online personal finance investment software''.

** Each section would contain three items:
**# Recent URL pattern
**#* By <code>$1</code> the former URL can be reconstructed.
**# Date of discarding ''(fall 2018, here)''
**# Link to the archived proposal debate ''(this section here, but in archive; first archive, then change config)''
* URL change would mean:
** No <code>$1</code> any longer.
** Append <code>#wikinvest</code>
** Subpage URL.
* It is up to authors and communities how to deal with individual cases: Remove entirely, replace by other source, search web archives, mark as dead.
* One problem left open: They still appear on [[Special:Interwiki]] and might mislead some people. An additional database field <code>hide</code> would be nice; use by parser for link production, but treat as non-existent in all other cases. Flag might even generate the fallback URL directly

*I apologize for the lengthy delay in replying here. Botwiki has indeed been out of commission for several years. I shut down that hosting account a long time ago now, and never brought Botwiki back up. The entire database for it is overrun with the unwiedly amount of spam we had been experiencing, and I intended on cleaning stuff up before bringing it back. For a project with only a few hundred pages and only a handful of active or semi-active it was unmanageable to have many hundreds of new spam accounts per day. So between that and the fact that it was running on an ancient MediaWiki version, it always ended up pushed towards the bottom of the todo list -- I'm sorry. I am currently in a very busy period IRL, but I can explore bringing it up in May or June if there is need for me to do so. Alternatively, I could look at producing a dump of some kind. I'm open to any avenue that would be preferred (and I'm really bad at answering, I know -- I'm sorry MarcoAurelio). <i><b>[[User:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">Snowolf</font>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">How can I help?</font>]]</small></sup></b></i> 18:44, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
**Keeping in mind I have no personal use for it myself, nor any history with it, I would say at this point that a dump would be fine given the site's been offline for several years and you don't have the free time to bring it back up and maintain it (I've poked around a bit at your user pages here and on Wikipedia, and it sounds like you've been short on personal time for years now, so I'm guessing this is a situation that also isn't likely to change for you any time soon). A dump would also allow someone else to run the site, if there was a desire for that at this point (if nothing else, if the contents of the wiki are of any importance to the WMF, they could toss it up as a read-only wiki similar to [[nostalgia:|Nostalgia]]). <span class=nowrap>「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style=color:#00f>ディノ<span style=color:#080>奴]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style=color:#F90>千？！]]」<sup>[[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 18:54, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
**: Read-only on 1.7.x should be very easy to do. Actually I guess could just disallow new account creations and that would do the trick -- I doubt the spambots would still keep track of their old passwords. I'll look into this maybe sometime in the next week and report back. <i><b>[[User:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">Snowolf</font>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">How can I help?</font>]]</small></sup></b></i> 19:04, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

=== ForthFreak target URLs redirect to GitHub wiki ===
As of this writing, the <code><nowiki>ForthFreak</nowiki></code> prefix has the target URL <code><nowiki>http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?$1</nowiki></code>. From what it appears, URLs that start with <code><nowiki>http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?</nowiki></code> generate a {{w|HTTP 301|301 Moved Permanently}} redirect to https://github.com/ForthHub/ForthFreak/wiki/Forthfreak-wiki. For example, there are the URLs http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?colorForth and http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?MiniSpreadsheet. It might be useful to use the GitHub page as the target URL for the ForthFreak prefix, in order to provide increased privacy and security for users by using an HTTPS URL, and for eliminating the redirect. Another possibility might be to use a target URL such as <code><nowiki>https://github.com/ForthHub/ForthFreak/wiki/$1</nowiki></code>, to increase the chance that the URL for an existing wiki entry will be redirected to the corresponding wiki entry (assuming one exists) at the GitHub wiki.

=== IRCS vs. IRC ===
Why is there no <code>ircs</code> in [[Special:Interwiki]]? Shouldn't <code>ircs</code> be preferred over <code>irc</code>, 'cause its secure? All [[Template:Channel]] transclusions are linking to insecure connections.
Two alternative proposals:
*Could the <code>ircs</code> protocol be added to the map creating 4 new prefixes based on the exiting prefixes irc, freenode, ircrc, rcirc?
*Alternatively, could the URLs of these prefixes just be changed to the ircs protocol (all listed servers do support IRCS, also all up-to date irc clients). This would eliminate all insecure <code>irc</code> links using interwiki, including thousands of Template:Channel transclusions.

=== When to accept or reject a request ===
I would like to suggest to better explain to the users how the accept or reject decisions are made and in what time frame. As you can see from the list above, there are several requests lying here since months (in some cases for more than an year) and it is not clear (at least to me) if and when a request will be accepted or rejected.<br />At the top of the page it is written ''Admins, please allow consensus to form (or at least no objections to be raised over a period of a '''few days''')'', but this is clearly not the case as months are passing, not days.<br />So I would say that either the approval process is not working as expected, or it is not explained in a clear way to the reader. [[User:Lucamauri|LucaMauri]] ([[User talk:Lucamauri|talk]]) 14:47, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
:I would say that the text reflected the early days, not the current days where the requirements of the wikis are more specific, and where we have less requirement for change. I don't think that the process is wrong, it is simply that those cases you highlight don't demonstrate a consensus to add, and it is be better instruction to proponents that needs revision. Requests here need the input of the wikis where the links will be used. I would suggest that these proponents need to place their request here, then announce their requests at those wikis where they expect the uses to occur, so that the broader community can reach that consensus here.<p>Clear cases of demonstrated use, especially internal use, have been approved. Low use, uncertain requests have sat here awaiting a consensus that the value for addition exists.<p>In my opinion, administrators are here to undertake the addition/change/removal after a consensus has been reached, not to generate the discussion to form a consensus. We could close requests as not done, if they haven't got that clear consensus, or we can leave them open, as has been the practice.

=== rendering/distinction between internal and external links ===
Is there a way to introduce distinct rendering for the entries here? Before the interwiki map was opened to allow prefixes for external sites, readers could visually clearly distinguish between an internal links (WMF projects) and external links, but now that is not possible anymore. This imho rather confusing and also counterintuitive to the rules in some/many wikipedias, which allow external links only in certain section and not the article's main text. Not to mention that some if the entries here somewhat violate the usual criteria for external links of some wikipedias as well.--[[User:Kmhkmh|Kmhkmh]] ([[User talk:Kmhkmh|talk]]) 13:33, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
:The rendering of interwiki links is controlled by the CSS class <code>.extiw</code>: in our MediaWiki installation we decided to show a small sunflower icon (WikiMedia logo) next to any interwiki link and we managed to do this simply adding a <code>background-image</code> property to the class in the CSS. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there is not an easy way to differentiate between different sites. The general idea would be to add a second class – beside <code>.extiw</code> – to the links identifying the prefix of the website where the link points to: then it could be possible to customize every links in a similar way as the <code><nowiki><li></nowiki></code> elements in the sidebar. This should be suggested as a change to MediWiki codebase, but I haven't found the time to do so, yet. --[[User:Lucamauri|LucaMauri]] ([[User talk:Lucamauri|talk]]) 12:24, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

[[Category:Interwiki map]]

Latest revision as of 00:23, 13 July 2024

The interwiki map is used by the MediaWiki software to add, remove or update interwiki link prefixes (such as [[w:blah]] to "blah" on Wikipedia). Any Meta-Wiki administrator can edit the interwiki map at Interwiki map/list. It is synced to the Wikimedia cluster upon request through the completion of a Phabricator ticket. Please post comments to the appropriate section (Proposed additions, Proposed removals, Requests for updates, Troubleshooting, or Other discussions); read the boxes at the top of each for an explanation. Completed requests are moved to the archives.

{{interwiki request}} can be used to assist in the making and managing requests.

Instructions to Meta-Wiki administrators

Tools

  • You may use global search to look for URL and interwiki link use. Suggest the use of {{interwiki request}} when making requests for removals and updates.

Current map in the configuration

Wikidata

Wikidata stores the mapped interwiki code as an item for domains in the interwiki map using interwiki prefix at Wikimedia (P6720). Additions, removals and updates should be noted against the corresponding item in Wikidata. Also to note the direction at Complex constraint violations/P6720

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 3 days.

Proposed additions[edit]

Latest comment: 1 day ago40 comments16 people in discussion
The Interwiki Map exists to allow a more efficient syntax for linking between wikis, and thus promote the cooperation and proliferation of wikis and free content.

This section is for proposing a new interwiki link prefix. Interwiki prefixes should be reserved for websites that would be useful on a significant number of pages ({{LinkSummary}} can help). Websites useful only to a few pages should be linked to with the usual external link syntax. Please don't propose additions of sites with too few pages or that contain copyright infringing content, such as YouTube. As a guide, sites considered for inclusion would:

  1. be useful on a significant number of pages
  2. provide clear and relevant use to the Wikimedia projects, including the purpose of the site
  3. be trusted not to encourage spam links being added to the Wikimedia projects
  4. not contain malware
  5. be expected to remain working for a long time in the future and not suffer from link rot

Add new entries at the bottom of the section. When requesting a new prefix, please explain why it would be useful keeping the above in mind. Admins, please allow consensus to form (or at least no objections to be raised over a period of a few days) before adding new entries, as once added they are hard to remove from the many copies around the world. Before adding a new entry to the interwiki map, use this tool to check whether any existing page names conflict with the proposed prefix.

Requests for removal should be submitted on the talk page in the removals section and will be decided on by a Meta admin.

Interwiki request: new

Status:    In progress

An interwiki for Fandom currently exists as wikia: and its alias wikiasite: (along with specific interwikis to certain Fandom-hosted wikis), but there is no alias named "Fandom". Since the site has been renamed, I suggest allowing the new terminology to be used in links as well, to avoid confusion. Thanks, EpicPupper (talk) 00:07, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

@EpicPupper: that seems to be half a story.

I have not buried myself into the history of fandom/wikia ins and outs, so please take a step back and look to concisely re-explain what has happened, what it needing to be achieved, and any politics that are at play so the community can make an informed decision.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:36, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Billinghurst, sure, here is some more information about the rename. In 2016, Wikia, a wiki hosting platform founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley Starling, underwent a major rebranding effort and changed its name to Fandom powered by Wikia 1. The name change was announced in a blog post on the Wikia website, which stated that the new name better reflected the platform's focus on communities and fan-created content. In a series of later changes from 2019-2021, all wikis migrated from wikia.org domains to fandom.com domains, and the Wikia branding was stripped completely 2. These changes were mostly uncontroversial and there was little negative feedback from the Fandom community following them. (Most opposers softened their tone a couple of years after the transition). Even if the community largely did not support these changes, that is irrelevant in this situation as "Fandom" is ultimately the official name of the website. Hope that helps! I think this change is relatively minor as it is merely adding an alias to the existing link, not a completely new one. EpicPupper (talk) 06:20, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Fandom is a generic noun - could that be a problem? "fandomcom", "fandomdotcom" or "fandomwiki" would be more specific. whym (talk) 11:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Looking back, my comment above doesn't sound very meaningful. Let me try again. What I'm uneasy about is that this proposal is to replace a proper noun ("Wikia") to a generic noun which happens to be trademarked ("Fandom"). The change will increase ambiguity. It looks like when English Wikipedia moved the article, they added a disambiguation, probably because "fandom" is too ambiguous: en:Wikia→en:Fandom (website). whym (talk) 14:37, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't see the issue that you're trying to solve here and I don't see the ambiguity. If someone is making an interwiki link with the "fandom" prefix it's obvious that they're trying to link to the website containing a massive wiki farm, they're not going to be trying to link to a music album, a documentary or the abstract concept of "a group of fans". 192.76.8.66 16:31, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Concur with 192. I would oppose FandomSite or any alternatives as I believe that they are unnecessary. Frostly (talk) 23:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • wikia • global-search <= high level of usage, still pertinent link
  • wikiasite • global-search <= high level of usage, still pertinent link
  • fandom • global-search <- noting that existing use may indicate that this is a namespace name, not that such perturb us

@EricPupper: Why do you have namespace codes w:c: in the proposed prefix ? Can you please provide some sample landing targets? Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
[[w:c:wikiname:Pagename]] is how you link from one Fandom wiki to another.[1] MSMST1543 (talk) 01:11, 25 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
https://about.fandom.com/about says "over 40 million content pages in over 80 languages on 250,000 wikis". The page "The Joker" in the wiki "batman" is at https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/The_Joker. We cannot generate such a url directly with "batman" and "The Joker" in different places so we rely on redirects at Fandom. These both work currently:
I don't know whether both forms work for all Fandom wikis and will continue to work. Considering they ask their own users to write w:c: at [2], I guess it's safest to use that form. We already say https://community.fandom.com/wiki/w:c:$1 for both wikia:, WikiaSite: and Wikicity:, and I haven't heard complaints about broken links. The proposal is simply to add one more prefix for this. The site has been called Fandom and located at fandom.com for years so it seems reasonable. Four prefixes for the same site is a lot but considering their size and Fandom branding, I don't think we should worry about having a fourth prefix. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'm still not sure if the new name is recognized well as a website name, without adding some sort of disambiguation. "Wikia" had 13 years (2006-2019), while "Fandom" had 8 years (2016-2014), according to en:Fandom (website). Maybe revisit in a few years? whym (talk) 10:08, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I should have written 2016-2024 instead of 2016-2014. Sorry if that was confusing. whym (talk) 10:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Several frequently used sites on Wikimedia Commons[edit]

The following websites are very widely used on Commons as part of authority control, based on the Wikidata properties OCLC control number (P243), ISNI (P213) and Library of Congress authority ID (P244); by creating interwiki prefixes for them, we can link to them using interwiki instead of external link syntax, which is better for the database (see Commons discussion and T343131). --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Previously discussed in 2019, 2022 and 2023. The major reason against it is it is run by John F.

So we may reconsider it.--GZWDer (talk) 05:04, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is it being sufficiently used to be reconsidered? While the ban aspect may be a consideration, the primary consideration is that it is needed.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:44, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 12 days ago16 comments4 people in discussion
This section is for proposing that a prefix be disabled; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to explain why it should be disabled, particularly in view of the difficulty involved in correcting any use of the prefix (to generate a list of pages to fix: toollabs:pirsquared/iw.php). Please add {{Interwikicheck|interwiki code}} to top of the new section.

Interwiki map entries should generally be removed if the site (or the specific part of the site being linked to) is dead, broken, no longer hosts the content that was intended to be linked to. Legacy interwiki prefixes that never had any non-trivial uses at all can also be removed.

Interwikis that would otherwise be removed but had too many uses to clean up may be repointed to Interwiki map/discontinued.

When removing a prefix, also check if it's in interwiki.list (the default interwikis added by the installer when a new MediaWiki wiki is installed). That file is managed via Gerrit.

Completed requests are marked with {{done}} or {{not done}} and moved to the archives.

Interwiki request: removal

Status:    On hold

Dead, attempting to access this site results in an NXDOMAIN error. According to Interwiki map/detailed table this has/had hundreds of uses. I suggest remapping this to point at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Venezuela, to match what has been done with a number of other dead chapter sites. 192.76.8.66 16:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Multiple uses, would need to be remapped with explanation.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
This is no longer a nxdomain, it's now a wordpress site saying "this site is under maintenance". Not sure what to do here. * Pppery * it has begun 22:35, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! The site is under maintenance, due to a failed provider's change. The chapter isn't dead. We're working to solve it. Thanks! --Ybsen lucero (talk) 10:38, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is a tricky one. The wiki it points to is overrun by spambots, but it does still have some useful content, and is used in a bunch of places. We could just take no action. * Pppery * it has begun 03:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Conflicts with language code. See phab:T360792. Has 700 uses so cleanup would be a pain, and this is a very theoretical issue and probably not going to come up, so feel free to decline this, but putting it here for the record. * Pppery * it has begun 04:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

This also conflicts with All Elite Wrestling shows (I fixed three different articles that intended to link to that) and the target site is largely dead.

Zero uses per global-search, pattern looks fixably broken (can be fixed to http://community.schemewiki.org/?$1). But if nobody uses the interwiki and it's been broken for who-knows-how-long then what's the point? * Pppery * it has begun 01:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Requests for updates[edit]

Latest comment: 2 months ago16 comments5 people in discussion
This section is for requesting update for an existing interwiki. This could be needed if your site's URL has changed. Please add new entries at the bottom of the section.

When updating a prefix, also check if it's in interwiki.list (the default interwikis added by the installer when a new MediaWiki wiki is installed). That file is managed via Gerrit.

This site supports https, so it would probably be a good idea for the interwiki mapping to be updated to use it.

I do question whether this interwiki is actually worth keeping, according to Interwiki map/detailed table this interwiki had 4 uses in 2019, it's on a very niche topic and the project looks fairly dead - There have been no edits at all in the last 90 days. 192.76.8.66 18:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Interwiki request: update

Update to https as it is supported. Again, I really do question whether we need an interwiki to a site that covers only one town - it doesn't seem like it would ever see much use. 192.76.8.66 15:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Updated. Has 15 total uses, most of which are files on Commons. Probably warrants removal. * Pppery * it has begun 23:43, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikimedia Quality[edit]

Interwiki request: Redirect..?

Status:    In progress
  • related Wikidata item: [[d:Special:EntityPage/{{{ITEM}}}|{{{ITEM}}}]]

I noticed this as an entry at w:Help:Interwiki linking#Interwiki linking from and within Wikimedia, it's a closed wiki, all it gives you is a page with a manual redirect. Whatever way the {{Interwiki request}} template parses sort-of-kinda-internal URLs, it hates this one.

It has a "longform" IW link - [[quality:]]

Following the most relevant option at the redirect you end up at Wikiquality/Portal (actually located here on meta-wiki), which is itself a vestigial page with the {{historical}} template applied.

So, obviously not important, but maybe the target should be changed to save people the extra click.

Why would we need a shorthand to link to a closed wiki that has basically no content? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:25, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
We don't, but that is what we have already. It exists, I'm not requesting that it be created.
There's basically no content at the Special:AllPages link for the wiki because "this wiki has been closed and its content has been moved to meta.wikimedia.org". Some of the content you're looking for is at the correct address for the shortcut's target, meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiquality/Portal - but, since most of the content created for the project was as articles for a mailing list, the bulk of it is at listarchive:list/wikiquality-l@lists.wikimedia.org/latest.
The project was seen as important, enough so that it was given a shortcut link, and its link was used as one of the 29 examples of prefix codes included at w:Help:Interwiki linking, so what we currently do actually have is a shorthand link which: has been used, can be found on pages of projects which are not closed and which will be seen by users, was functional when it was used, is now broken and points to a dead page.
The shortcut should either be fixed or removed from that list, but removing it from that list won't remove it from anywhere anyone's ever used it, where it will remain an annoying broken link! One cookie (talk) 14:38, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
"The shortcut should either be fixed or removed from that list". 100% agreed. I'd lean toward remove, as the quality wiki was closed a long time ago and I doubt there are any/many links, but that can be checked. Thorough response: thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
 I've fixed the template above. Don't feel comfortable removing this because we currently have a convention that each Wikimedia project has an interwiki link, which I don't want to break. I.e aa: exists too despite pointing nowhere. * Pppery * it has begun 23:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

dict, dictionary[edit]

dict • global-search dictionary • global-search

Currently points to a third-party dictionary. I just cleaned up several uses on enwiki that clearly intended to point to Wiktionary instead, and I would suggest these interwikis be updated in the same way to reduce confusion. * Pppery * it has begun 02:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Troubleshooting[edit]

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
This section is for comments related to problems or corrections with the interwiki map (such as incorrect syntax or entries not functioning). This is not the section to request that a prefix be disabled (see Proposed removals above).

imdb[edit]

Interwiki has diverged between the map here and interwiki.list. Interwiki.list currently has one "imdb" prefix going to http://www.imdb.com/find?q=$1&tt=on . Meta interwiki map currently has several (IMDbName, IMDbTitle, etc.). Presumably one of these should be updated to match the other one, but which? * Pppery * it has begun 19:35, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
