Ah, had I known there was a Celtic languages meet I might have asked for
the time off of work and gone to Wikimania.  Unfortunately, I can't be
there, but I'm certainly interested in assisting with this particular task,
especially if my fellow Gaeilgeoirí are keen on the idea.

Cheers,
Craig

 If this is received well at cy.wp, it might also be desirable to introduce it on ga.wp as well.

Hi All,

If this is received well at cy.wp, it might also be desirable to introduce
it on ga.wp as well.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Authority Control in Welsh Wikipedia

[Magnus Manske]

If it's not used on Welsh Wikipedia, maybe the best thing would be to make
a Wikidata-based one - just add the blank template to people's articles,
and watch it automagically fill with vaules from Wikidata. The last thing
the Wikiverse needs is to add the occasional VIAF entry on Welsh Wikipedia
as wikitext. Not in 2014.

Cheers,
Magnus
