ABCs and the Interwiki tag
Any program available to reorganize the list into alphabetical order? Would there be a problem if one day, someone, such as myself, decided to go through and alphabetize it? Or better, to add a column to the "Description pages" for each wiki, like Mozilla Community, and show off the "Interwiki tag"? --Me at work 06:15, 27 Jan 2005 (PST)


 * Please don't add a column. There's a script which applies this to the database, but it needs to be in this format for that to work. I don't think alphabetising it would cause any problems. Angela 15:05, 27 Jan 2005 (PST)
 * Err, I didn't mean it like that. It was early.  I meant to add a line, such as 'Founder:' and 'URL:' are, to each individual wiki's description page. --Me at work 16:50, 27 Jan 2005 (PST)
 * Oh I see. Sorry, I misread your comment. That sounds a good idea, but I'll wait until bug 60 is fixed and the links are actually working since it'll only cause confusion if we're claiming these are interwiki links when they have no effect. Angela 18:20, 27 Jan 2005 (PST)

Cache interwiki
Do we need a Google cache interwiki link? At Wikipedia, the GNAA was using that to redirect users to LastMeasure... – Jellochuu! 09:14, 30 Jan 2005 (PST)
 * No, I've removed it now. Angela 11:10, 30 Jan 2005 (PST)

So links don't break
links to Mozilla:Main Page didn't work to begin with, so if you remove mozilla from the interwiki map and replace it with mozcom (i dont want mozilla as that should be wiki.mozilla.org with the thing called logic) then you break no links, as they weren't formed... right? --Me at work 06:00, 3 Feb 2005 (PST)

Errors
I think you might have made an error with the last two interwikis (CPP and Blogsome). – Jello 21:49, 9 Feb 2005 (GMT)


 * Thanks. Blogsome was wrong because I copied the one from cpp. Cpp isn't wrong though - it's a special case since cpp is not a wiki, but a portal. The correct interwikis are en.cpp: and pl.cpp:. cpp: is just there in case people link to it accidentally, but it will always go to the main page of the portal. Angela 22:24, 9 Feb 2005 (GMT)


 * Hrm. I know Wikipedia has things like Hi which redirects you properly, but i guess thats because fr: is some special thing on wikipedia itself.  I suppose, and this is just supposin', but you could set it up to show up a page


 * This page does not exist on the cpp portal. (like on wikipedia)  Maybe you'd like to try to find this page on the English, whatever, or whatever cpp wikis?


 * I don't know if it's terribly feasable but it sounds like an interesting idea to me. --Me at work 01:45, 10 Feb 2005 (GMT)


 * People should not be linking to cpp, so I don't think adding in a search for whether the title exists in English or Polish would ne needed. If they accidentally go there, they can use the search boxes on that portal and find the correct language version. Angela 13:25, 10 Feb 2005 (GMT)
