It starts with replacing the Wikipedia interwiki links. This makes the Wikipedia communities part of its community. Then it will replace the facts contained in an info box in a much better maintainable way.<br /><br />Lastly when you add a fact with a source, it will be there for ANY Wikipedia..<br /><br />In consequence ...

Imagine Commons without patrolling new images regarding licences and categories, or any larger Wikipedia without any content or fact control. They would exist, they would be large, but they wouldn't be useful or usuable at all. And if we are honest, Commons is still hardly usuable if you don't visit it from Wikipedia via Commonscat—and even then it's unsearchable for licences, file sizes, multi tags, etc. And Wikipedia would not be as respected as it is by now if the content would not be maintained and checked by so many users. Hence, bot supported projects and, thus, esp. Wikipedia will sink over time because they will and already do lack quality toward quanitity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-85800458355355966482013-05-19T21:13:45.188+02:002013-05-19T21:13:45.188+02:00This is so very much contrary to how a Wiki works....This is so very much contrary to how a Wiki works... <br /><br />Consider, for ne specific subject we organise a workshop to add sources.
