[Wikisource-l] Tool to check transclusions of index pages? (something not manual)

2014-12-02 Thread Wiki Billinghurst
Anyone know of a tool or a ready means that can check for works (that are proofread) for the amount/percentage transcluded? I am wondering how many works may be out there that have plenty of work done on them but sitting there needing transcluding. It seems that a tool that can do that sort of

No discussion at enWS, though we generally are continually running with something, though not heard anyone mentioned 11th anniversary. The thought that I did had that may be of interest was a coordinated xwiki transcription of the same work in multiple languages, and if one work is finished at

[Wikisource-l] mul: interwiki now exists

2014-09-29 Thread Wiki Billinghurst
It quietly happened in the mediawiki release last week {git #f0d86f92 - Add additional interwiki links as requested in various bugs (bug 16962, bug 21915)} [1] that the mul: interwiki has appeared for the wikisources to be able to point to wikisource.org. So we can now do [[:mul:XXxx]]

2014-09-15 Thread Wiki Billinghurst
My understanding is that there is a blocking issue for mul identified in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32189 and that needs staff review for things to progress. You may wish to start rattling the cage with Rob Lanphier's team to see if they can get their review done. I have
