Interwiki entry for new Wikimedia Foundation website
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

The existing interwiki links were updated to maintain links to the repurposed Wikimedia Foundation Wiki.

It is not urgent, but please create a new interwiki entry for the new Wikimedia Foundation website once it launches.

Perhaps "foundationmain" or "foundationcorp" would work? I am open to suggestions, but keep in mind "wmf", "foundation", and others used for the old site should not be used for this site. We would also prefer "foundation" over "wmf" to represent "Wikimedia Foundation" in any shortened names.

foundation, wikimedia and wmf all currently point to the wiki

Varnent added a comment.Jul 27 2018, 1:36 AM

Right. This would point to the new site so be a new entry for wikimediafoundation.org since those now point to foundation.wikimedia.org

Do we have any stats on how often the foundation and wikimedia shortlinks have been used? Could we/would it be advisable to use a bot to convert them to wmf and usurp one?

Keeping in mind that interwikis are supposed to be *shorthand* link labels, of course... ;-)

Sounds like FR-Tech is waiting on this to finish some updates. I suggest either "foundationsite" or "foundationmain" - but open to other ideas.

What is the best way to move this request forward? :)

It's easy to get done if we decide what prefix you/we/anyone wants :)

Needs adding to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map and then we need to update interwiki.php on the cluster

I'm happy to process both pretty quickly if someone decides which we want to go forward with

Thank you! :)

"foundationsite" seems logical to me. But I am open to better ideas. :)

We can obviously have multiple if we need too.

foundationsite seems more sensible than foundationmain

https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interwiki_map&type=revision&diff=18389148&oldid=18337050

I guess that format is fine? We don't need anything special after the slash?

[[foundationsite:about]] would go to https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/ etc
