Re: [Foundation-l] Language codes to rename

Beta wikiversity is a hub for multiligual cooperation and the incubator is just part of it. The proposed multilingual wikibooks is for hosting books which cannot find home comfortably in any language edition. It is fitting to have, for example, the link from a page in cs:Wikiversity to Beta:Wikiv

Re: [Foundation-l] Language codes to rename

Hoi, Both the multilingual Wikibooks and Wikiversity exist as a kind of Incubator. Given that the aim is to create the single language editions, it means a lot of double work. Not such a good idea imho. Thanks, GerardM 2009/1/19 H > And it would greatly facilitate interwiki traffics to hav

Re: [Foundation-l] Language codes to rename

And it would greatly facilitate interwiki traffics to have a code for a multilingual site (e.g. for the betawikiversity: and the multilingual wikisource, and the proposed multilingual wikibooks). See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13334 H.
