Wikibooks namespaces edit

Content namespaces: Mainspace, Cookbook, Wikijunior edit

Proposal 1 edit

Every page has a Wikidata item. Every subpage also has a Wikidata item, because some languages have the same structure of their books.

  1. +1 this reflects the Entity=Object idea, it is also usefull for cookbooks and reference work --FischX (talk) 19:10, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Support It should certainly be possible to use Wikidata for subpages, as every now and then there’s a book started as a translation of one in another language. No reason to require that every subpage has a Wikidata item, though. — Ivan Shmakov (dc) 20:25, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Support The themes were refused on the English Wikibooks, but on the French one you can see them (from any book), which treat for example:
    The colors management (usually to learn them from some languages books).
    The regex (in five programming languages).
    ... JackPotte (talk) 17:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4.   Support subject to the qualification that, as Ivan Shmakov notes, not every subpage needs a Wikidata item. --Pi zero (talk) 13:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The proposal does say "every subpage". Liam987 21:28, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Which kind of hints at that this proposal should be amended, or a corrected one added. — Ivan Shmakov (dc) 10:27, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal 2 edit

Every page has a Wikidata item. Subpages do NOT have a Wikidata item, because there are too many differences between versions of the books.

(Persian)
معمولا هر صفحه با یک صفحه از پروژه ویکی‌کتاب به زبان دیگر پیوند دارد. به ندرت اتفاق می‌افتد که دو پروژه ویکی‌کتاب در سطح زیرصفحه با هم پیوند میان‌ویکی داشته باشند.

Transwiki namespace edit

Proposal 3 edit

Because the Transwiki: namespace is a temporary page until the content is transwikied, it should not have an item.

Proposal 4 edit

Because there are sometimes interwiki links in the Transwiki: namespace, every page in the namespace should have an item.

Wikibooks / Help edit

Same namespaces as Wikipedia / Help namespaces of Wikipedias. Require the exactly same support (i.e. mostly interlanguage links). Wikibooks should share the same items with Wikipedia for pages about the same topic. For example, there is a Wikipedia:Babel and a Wikibooks:Babel in most Wikipedias/Wikibooks; they share topics and often content, thus it would be relevant to have only one item for all these pages.

Category / Template edit

Same namespace and constraints as Wikipedia. Shared items with Wikipedia that store interlanguage links.

Subject edit

Treated like the Portal: namespace on other wikis.

Bots edit

Do not operate an unflagged bot on en.wikibooks. This project uses FlaggedRevisions (aka, PendingChanges). This means an unflagged bot will push all its edits into the manual review queue and generates more work than it saves. Unflagged bots are typically blocked on sight because of the amount of disruption they cause. QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:21, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

En.wikibooks edit

There is a community discussion underway regarding the removal of interwikis. New editors turning up and removing them is causing disruption due to the conflict with the ongoing discussion and the PendingChanges backlog created by unflagged editors. I suggest nobody starts removing interwikis until the community decides how to progess as at this rate they'll be totally alienated and start blocking and reverting.
