Wikitravel Extra: Sidebar interwiki link
108
vote
I have added two MediaWiki items as a test on to the swedish sv:Mediawiki:Sidebar. The items are sv:MediaWiki:Extra-url and sv:MediaWiki:Extrapage. This kind of iw link corresponds with the way we iw link to Shared from the various language versions. However, it does not work as intended, so I assume there is some button which needs to be pressed by a developer. May we have it seen to? Or, if it isn't implemented yet, well... have it implemented? With a sidebar link implemented, the traffic on Extra will increase.

Jumped the gun...
Thanks for wanting to move things along, but I was giving folks a day or two to digest the personal tools feature request posted on shared before implementing the interwiki links.
See http://wikitravel.org/wiki/shared/Tech:Interwiki_linking_between_Wikitra...
This should probably be operational some time tomorrow. The links will probably be extra:destination, butcheck the page on Shared for specifics.
Thanks again!`

Jumping the gun...
Jumping the gun...well, not really. See it as being keen to launch something new ;-). Anyway, I just copied the shared-related MediaWiki items and hoped it would work, but....no, not yet. Would love to have it up and running, of course...at least the links from the main page. But, all in due time.

It's on Evan's todo list
It's actually a little more complicated than that as it requires a change to the skin... but it should be up in the next few days, max.
I did want to make sure the community had a real chance to look at the site before links started popping up-- it's a big addition!
But I don't think any one is more egger than I am to see this move forward!

This is working now...
You can now make extra:Destination links. Currently the link will show up in the same area as World66 and Wikipedia links but we'll be moving to more prominent tabs in the near future.
