Since Wikidata is supposed to be a common data repository for all the Wikimedia projects, I would propose adding, on each Wikidata page, links to all the pages on all Wikimedia projects in all languages that pertain to them. So common words would have links to Wiktionary, notable texts and documents would have links to Wikisource, many things would have links to Wikimedia Commons, etc. Please feel free to let me know if this is a terrible idea, but it just seems to make sense given Wikidata's purpose. --HGK745 (talk) 00:30, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It will take some time to develop the software that allow this, but I agree with the proposal. --NaBUru38 (talk) 20:14, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It is a good idea. Don't forget wikivoyage. Carsrac (talk) 13:21, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Apologies if this has been discussed before. The
{{Sisterlinks}}b:Template:Sisterlinks template could be used to provide cross project links (e.g., a book on "Physics" at Wikibooks, may use sisterlinks to refer the reader to one or more articles at Wikipedia. So this is a good source of metadata. Separately, there are interwikis between other projects that aren't being captured yet. For example, the "Wikijunior" books at Wikibooks are interwiki'd to other language versions of the same book. So as well as providing links across projects, there's a need to provide them between non-Wikipedia projects. QuiteUnusual (talk) 09:15, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
