Displaying an article in the topic page
- As a user I can read a main article about the current topic
- If the topic exists in Wikidata, the article to be displayed or added should be in Wikipedia.
- If the topic exists in Wikidocumentaries only, the article is stored in Wikidocumentaries.
Wikipedia articles
- Editing a Wikipedia article happens in Wikipedia.
Local articles
Local articles for topics that only exist in Wikidocumentaries are created in Wikidocumentaries.
- All language versions of a Wikidocumentaries article are stored as separate wiki pages in Wikidocumentaries.
- Articles will have entries in the Wikibase to be able to connect them to different topics and language versions or they can be added using the modified sitelinks feature.
- Navigating the articles in different languages in the Wikidocumentaries MediaWiki needs a solution to connect them together.
- Visual editor needs to be installed and modified to support bespoke linking. This is a more general federation need.
- The user should be able to use a modified Visual Editor to edit (local) articles.
Linking
- The links of a Wikipedia article are resolved to Wikidata ID's when a link is followed. The router redirects the link to a QID-based address. See linking.
- The links in a Wikidocumentaries article will have QIDs and Wikidocs-QIDs natively.
- It will be important to allow linking between Wikidocumentaries and Wikidata. When there is no link in a Wikipedia article the user should be able to select text and query for an page (from Wikidata and/or Wikidocumentaries).
- The link would be stored locally as an annotation or used only at that one time. How is the annotation stored? As a data table? including the annotated text, the target item, the language and the contributor of the link. Must check compatibility with W3C Web Annotation recommendations.
