Ouch everyone. Merry Christmas to you all.
The issue we have is a clash of technical nature
- We have small languages put together on one wiki as it is easier/resource-wise to manage (WMF management)
- Wikidata only allows one site link per wiki. (WD data mgt)
I didn't see that the proposal was to create the wikis, I saw the proposal into "tricking" wikidata, or mediawiki interwiki map to have an Asturian (ast:) work at mul.wikisource to be linkable by ast:(Title of work) or mul:(Title of work). Perform the tricks at WD, perform it through moving files into specific paths, perform it be server path rewrites, whatever.
This is not about wikidata, so to speak, it is about giving these smaller represented languages the ability to have their works presented and linked. Wikidata is seen as the means to run queries, to search, to present metadata, and these small communities need someone to assist them to a resolution, not a lot of people just saying "no, too hard" and then moving back to the shiny toys, whatever, after all these years, we just would like a practical working solution.
