{{Historical}}

This page is intended to host discussions between representatives from individual wikis regarding [[Help:Interwiki_linking#Interlanguage_link|interlanguage links]] between Wikipedia articles.

Interlanguage links can often become entangled in [[Interwiki conflicts|conflicts]]. For example, if the page [[:en:Emergency medical technician]] links to [[:fr:Ambulancier]], but [[:fr:Ambulancier]] links to [[:en:Paramedic]], thisthen isthat would be a conflict. This confuses the readers of Wikipedia and usually cannot be automatically maintained by interwiki bots (such as [[Interwiki.py]]). This inability to maintain links automatically frequently leads to lack of updates, stale links etc.

The task of synchronizing these links manually is hard, but challenging and interesting. A central hub for discussing this will foster further cooperation and concord between different language Wikipedias.

; Note: This database appears very outdated. It's questionable if it has ever been updated since its creation in 2008. [[User:Have mörser, will travel|Have mörser, will travel]] 18:03, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

The largest [[:en:Connected component (graph theory)|connected component]] in the graph of interlanguage links between articles contains well over 70'000 nodes (including over 3'000 from the English edition) and over 3'000'000 links.

There are 24 more connected components with over 1'000 nodes. In total, there are about 60'000 inconsistent connected components in the graph.

These figures are based on an analysis of snapshots from late August 2008.
