Topic on Extension talk:WikipediaExtracts

WikipediaExtracts has been superseded by Extension:InterwikiExtracts, which does allow to transclude content from Wikibooks, Wiktionary and any other wiki in the interwiki table.

@Felipe Schenone:

English: As proposed in [[:v:es:Wikiversidad:Claustro_Wikiversitario#Instalar la Extensión:WikipediaExtracts]], this would be also useful being able to transclude contents from Wikibooks or Wiktionary. Sometimes in Wikiversities is needed a definition or parts of a manual that are not found in Wikipedia. Could this be possible?

Español: Tal como se propuso en [[:v:es:Wikiversidad:Claustro_Wikiversitario#Instalar la Extensión:WikipediaExtracts]], sería útil que esta extensión también fuera capaz de transcluir contenidos de Wikilibros o Wikcionario. A veces en las Wikiversidades es necesaria una definición o partes de un manual, contenidos que no se encuentran en Wikipedia. ¿Es posible añadir esta función?

Yes it would be possible, but I think we first need the extension reviewed, approved and deployed. Then we can consider improvements such as these.

The new variable $wgWikipediaExtractsAPI allows to extract content from other wikis, such as Wiktionary. The only catch is that if we extract content from Wiktionary, we cannot extract from Wikipedia. In other words, we can only extract content from ONE wiki. Future versions may introduce extracts from many wikis.
