Article

There are two types of articles in Wikidocumentaries.

Collaborative created topic's main articles are discussed on this page.
Articles created as memoirs by one person are discussed on the testimonials page.

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.

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.

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.

Create missing article (in Wikipedia / in Wikidocumentaries) if no article can be displayed.
