Wiktionary is a dictionary but to understand a word, it is always better to look at several dictionaries. Lucky us, Wikisource contains dictionaries! Let's connect them! The idea is that dictionaries in Wikisource need to be properly tagged to target paragraphs with entries and definitions. Then, a new tab could be added in Wiktionaries, automatically populated by Wikisource content. So, for an entry "''dog''" in English Wiktionary, every definition tagged as "''dog''" in English Wikisource will be displayed automatically, for an entry "''chien''" in French Wiktionary, every definitions tagged as ''"chien"'' in French Wikisource will be displayed automatically. The final picture (in my dreams) is a reader that just click on "Other dictionaries" tab and a list of definitions pops up, with links to the whole quoted dictionaries in Wikisource. Other online dictionaries are ''multidictionaries'' in the same way, like [[http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/ | CNRTL]] for some ''Dictionnaire de l'Académie française'' [French Academy dictionaries] or [[ https://www.locongres.org/fr/applications/dicodoc-fr/dicodoc-recherche?type=fr-oc&dic%5B%5D=BASIC&dic%5B%5D=RBVD&dic%5B%5D=ALPC&dic%5B%5D=ATAU&dic%5B%5D=PROV&dic%5B%5D=PNST&dic%5B%5D=OMLH&dic%5B%5D=LAUS&dic%5B%5D=LAGA&q=l%C3%A0&q2=&submit=Rechercher | Dico d'Òc]] for Occitan with 15 dictionaries. This task was suggested during the [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Wiktionary/Wikisource_dictionaries_for_Wiktionary | Community Wishlist Survey 2017]] and ends up with rank 52, and 40 support votes.

Wiktionary is a dictionary but to get the meaning of a word, one may look at several dictionaries, with different point of view and methodology. Lucky us, Wikisource contains plenty dictionaries to enhance Wiktionaries! The idea is that entries of dictionaries in Wikisource may be displayed in Wiktionaries, in dedicaded pages associated to each Wiktionaries entries. Dedicated pages named "Other dictionaries", accessible through a tab next to the Talk pages. In order to realize this feature, Dictionaries in Wikisource need to be properly tagged to delimitate paragraphs with entries and definitions. Then, a new tab should be created in Wiktionaries. Finally, a process need to be code to automatically populated those new pages with Wikisource content. Example of the finite feature as dreamed: you go to English Wiktionary and look for the entry "''dog''". There is a tab "Other dictionaries". You click and a new page open displaying every definition tagged as "''definitions of dog (English)''" in English Wikisource. Then you move to French Wiktionary, to the entry "''chien''" (same animal). Here, you can have every definitions tagged as ''"definitions of chien (French)"'' from French Wikisource. A final move may be to look in French Wiktionary for "''dog''" and to obtain every definitions tagged as "''definitions of dog (English) in French''". This last feature may be part of a second step of development. As examples, there is other ''multidictionaries'' working as suggested in this proposal: [[http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/ | CNRTL]] for some ''Dictionnaire de l'Académie française'' [French Academy dictionaries] or [[ https://www.locongres.org/fr/applications/dicodoc-fr/dicodoc-recherche?type=fr-oc&dic%5B%5D=BASIC&dic%5B%5D=RBVD&dic%5B%5D=ALPC&dic%5B%5D=ATAU&dic%5B%5D=PROV&dic%5B%5D=PNST&dic%5B%5D=OMLH&dic%5B%5D=LAUS&dic%5B%5D=LAGA&q=l%C3%A0&q2=&submit=Rechercher | Dico d'Òc]] for Occitan with 15 dictionaries.
