I wouldn't call them partner sites since it implies some sort of two-way relationship which there often won't be. Angela (talk) 21:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Wookieepedia has set up a similar relationship with other Star Wars fansites: see Official Friends of Wookieepedia, a feature we showcase on our Main Page. Is this the sort of thing you're getting at? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it was more aimed at other language versions of a wiki. Angela (talk) 08:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The ability to edit the interwiki and interlanguage link destinations from a special page is something that's been sitting on the bug list, requested since at least May 2006. An extension to provide such a special page is available (and in use on many of the Uncyclopedias, just not any at Wikia). A similar extension to edit the list of namespaces also exists.

Other-language versions of a wiki do belong in the languages box; splitting them so that half of the languages are in some other box does seem a bit arbitrary.

And yes, from a technical standpoint what you describe looks possible - if Wikia were willing to cooperate in implementing this. Nonetheless, I could see this very easily getting bogged down in discussion of what is a "partner site", what is a "sister site" or all of the usual problems with admins on a project not being able to add to that project's interwiki list.

We're currently at thirty-three Uncyclopedia languages; try to make outbound interlanguage links from most Wikia-hosted sites in this series and that number drops to twenty-eight. If even that much can't be fixed, perhaps talking in terms of changing core MediaWiki code is a bit overambitious at the moment? --carlb 00:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
