Hyperlink

“ More and more newspapers and magazines have a website on which their readers can find the full text or abstracts of the latest issue, archives giving access to the previous issues, dossiers on various topics, etc. More and more library catalogs are available on-line. And most sites offer hyperlinks to other websites or documents on related subjects. In short, the Internet has become an essential tool for getting information, having access to documents and broadening our knowledge. ”

“ Additionally, Wikipedia’s structure is augmented by hyperlinks between articles and other kinds of pages such as category pages, which provide loose hierarchical structure, and disambiguation pages, which disambiguate entries with exact or highly similar names. Using Wikipedia as a cognitive-linguistic environment, a computational model that incorporates both the mutual influences of conceptual/categorical organization and the structure of language should produce behavior closer to human behavior than a model without such mutual influence. ”

“ Besides its superior search capabilities, the online ODNB offers other advantages over the print version: it is updated and corrected three times per year (though the noncurrent lists of newly added entries are hidden in the Themes/List All Themes screen, with each headed Updates) , hyperlinks allow for easy navigation between related articles (and within longer ones) and for connections to other electronic sources that provide additional information on the biographee, and images are in color. ”

“ Students being taught the dynamics of Wikipedia articles would take them into the world of critical thinking, reading, and deep research skills, because the hyperlinks that lead to different information would equip their flexibility in online navigation, intensify their literature search skills, as well as improve their source evaluation. ”

“ Start the url with the communications protocol, e.g. http://. title: Title of online item. This title will appear as the citation itself, hyperlinked to the URL. Certain characters must be replaced with their HTML numeric reference to be used in the title. The character " [" must be replaced with "[", "] " with "]", and "|" (vertical bar) with "|". Optional parameters author parameters author Use if specific individuals (rather than large organizations) are named as writing the page. Use the publisher field to report the organization that controls the website. ”

“ My view is this: let's not include any redirect pages in the volume ToCs. Let's not include them in the "previous" or "next" fields, either; what is helpful is to go directly to the previous or next full biography. Where they can fit in is as linked from the wikified Volume Index pages. In other words, in creating hyperlinks from the Index pages at the ends of each volume, there is the scope to create a wikilink to a short page for these various types of redirects. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC) Blind DNB links Have been introduced to our first blind DNB link. ”

“ The volume’s Index page also includes links to each individual page contained within the volume. Each page link is color-coded using a standard schema that applies site-wide and reflects, in essence, the level of confidence of the project’s users that the text reproduced at that link accurately reflects the content of the corresponding scanned page. Thus, the Index page reveals at a glance how much progress the site’s users have made towards finalizing the proofreading and correction of the work. ”

“ Linking from an index requires - Title/subpage# [anchor] | [text] - the 'anchor' and the 'text' are the page number given in the scan and adjusted at our Index. If I find an explicit internal reference in a work, I create an anchor to link it; this is not required with a work's index because the link to the Page:namespace creates an anchor in mainspace - the actual page number. Sure keeps things simple, any offset and other palaver in fixed in place and the rest looks after itself. Creating these links within a work, in mainspace, is marvellous and well worth the labour and bits of code. ”

“ There doesn't seem to be a reason why the format alone would change the normal linking considerations. Priority of linking. This hits the broader issue of what the hypertext is trying to do: to lead the reader to specific information, to a navigation page for enWS, or the "best" information (which might for example be a good enWP article) . I propose a slogan like "everything within two clicks" as a rule of thumb. A link to a specific (I mean mainspace) page is OK, provided that page is itself provided with links to the relevant Author:, Portal: or Wikipedia pages. ”

“ There exists plenty of discussion about about linking and especially in around the subject matter of moving data from Wikisource to Portal. Public view content sits in main, author and portal namespace, and annotations (this discussion) sit within a simple subset of main namespace; the other spaces are either workspace, or organisational in practice, and there is no general requirement to link to these from works, in fact the practice has been actively removed such links. Why make it more complex than it has to be? ”

“ For example, linking lines of Shakespeare to Wikipedia articles in the body of his pays, except on an Annotated version created for that purpose. The body text of literature should, in my opinion, be largely if not entirely devoid of links. (1) When reading a work of fiction, or a play, the links are distracting to many readers. (2) Links in the body of the text can cause problems for people scrolling on a touch screen, as they will open to the target when the reader touches them and take them out of the work they are trying to read. ”

“ This always existed conceptually, wiki-software just makes that more convenient and the open site increases that potential. My position is exemplified by my work on 'deep linking' texts, and not just footnotes or the list of references, where an author quotes another I link to an anchor in the second work and the reader can see the actual context. All we are doing is providing a link when the reader would have had to stand and go to another part of a physical library. ”

“ This is used in a table of contents to link the first page of chapter - only. Only we (Users) need to know the offset in numbering, and this is well arranged by the Index; not deferring to the real page number only adds confusion, whatever the merits of allowing the user to access a small number of other ns:Page targets instead of referring to ns:Index - where that same information appears! If you are avoiding a similar situation, or unnecessarily adding even one click to the proofreading process, your proposals will get my strong backing. ”

“ The {{header}} template is now natively integrated and filled by the values given for the template. The backlink points to the relevant manual index page. The notes parameter explains what an author page is and links to the overall authors index. The short author description is moved to the image caption. The parameters have been entirely recoded and simplified; a few have been eliminated entirely. If there is a consensus to switch to the new standard, a new template will be created and the pages switched over by bot with human oversight. ”

“ When these 'original navigational pages' are transcluded into their Index's page they provide a guide to the existing and paginated links. A long way of describing something that becomes a simple way of enhancing a work in mainspace, I see many advantages to readers and contributors and little possibility of confusion or misdirection. I don't see how cross namepace links are useful for these pages when they are: Page: -> Page: Index: -> Page: (tranclusion) Main: -> Page: (makes me dizzy too) What is the advantage of adding namespace switching links in the Page:namespace? ”

“ Wikilinks from articles At the moment, our wikilink guidelines talk about linking to relative (in a work) or contextual pages (at WP/WIKT) . We don't particularly talk about links from the main namespace to Author pages, or how we might be building refs/bibliography to people (articles) .
From the body of an article, do people link to author pages? Do they link to author pages only if the link itself relates that person's writings? If we link to a WP: article about a person who is an author, is there the means to find the pages that we link to from WS. An example ... Charles Darwin. ”

“ Of course, we can create a redirect to a version of a work and utilise an anchor to direct. That said, in the case that you cite "Book of Common Prayer (1892) " the published works are not incidental to the publication, they are the publication and should be dealt with as subpages of the work. In situation like this if it is the only version of "Lord's Prayer" we would put in a redirect to the work. If it is just one of a number, then we would have either a {{disambiguation}} or a {{versions}} page to direct the user to all the variations that we host. ”

“ I see linking to portals is primarily a header issue, though we have extended that in the last proposal where we may have done work and research on a person or topic (that is not an author, and not a work) . So I would not be linking to the portal namespace solely to add to portal visibility from the body of a work, and if a portal is under-developed, I probably wouldn't link there unless it had high relevance. ”

“ Wikipedia, Facebook and Twitter, of course, but also tens of thousands of others. The web 2.0 may begin to fulfill the dream of Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the web in 1990, and wrote in an essay dated April 1998: "The dream behind the web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information. Its universality is essential: the fact that a hypertext link can point to anything, be it personal, local or global, be it draft or highly polished. ”

“ The whole point of Wikipedia and Wikisource and Wiki Commons is to have a single reference work with interconnecting links. As I pointed out before, imagine if Wikipedia purged all links to Wikisource. You can always ignore a link, but when you want to know more about something, a link is essential. It is patronizing to assume we know what a reader knows, or doesn't know, so they do not need a link. It is ridiculous to assume what we know today will be common knowledge in 10, 100 or 1,000 years. ”

“ On the Internet, we come closer to what emerges as a qualitatively new form of human interaction. Design is integrated in the networked world in a number of ways: communication protocols, hypertext, document and image layout, structure of interactive multimedia. ”

“ These are:
portal, related_author wikipedia, wikispecies, commons, commonscat, wikiquote are typically applied from Wikidata data through interwiki links, or through linking of main subject (P921) so should only be used to override the default wikinews, wiktionary, wikibooks, wikiversity, meta For portal this would generally be added to the root page of a work, rather than added repeatedly for each subpage. Usage on a subpage would be useful where the subpage alone has a relationship with the specified portal, whereas the parent work does not have that relationship. ”

“ Pages generated by searches and so are more powerful, making them is very likely to redundant to the largest document arranged by subject, replete with overlays of redirects, dabs, portals, infoboxes, and everything else. If any references here are notable, i.e., worth creating a page for, it should be noted there. Put another way: Pages here would be the target, the end of a path, the important links here, the library, are the Authors and their references to other Titles. Do we make pages for every conceivable subject, biographical in this example, and link everything to everything? ”

“ URLs are everywhere. Most obviously, they appear at the top of the browser window while people are using your website, but they also appear in a myriad of other contexts: in the status bar when someone has the mouse over a link, in search results, in emails, in blogs, read over the phone, written down on napkins, listed in bibliographies, printed on business cards and t-shirts and mousepads and bumper stickers. ”

“ Let me know if you need me to point you to which header template to use, etc. There may be some poems, etc. inherent to the work being proofread where you would want to link to the reference within the work itself (if I am explaining things correctly) as opposed to linking to another version at Wikisource (or version page) . In which case, you might wait until that section of the work has been proofread and transcribed into the Main namespace before linking. Also to note, you need only link to an author's name or work once in any section or chapter of a work. ”

“ For us, I believe that the purpose of a link is to link to something of definite value to the work (or adding context to the work) and unambiguous in its intent, eg. to an author page, or to a work, (onsite - easy decisions) , or maybe to an archaic word at wikt (offsite, and some interpretation and decision-making required) . It is less about by the way, if you follow this link there is more about it; and it is not about linking to something that is best guess about to where it should link.There is a some good discussions about portals at here here and especially here. ”

“ What would the consequences of a move be? I'm assuming your plan for the subpage /Pagelinks is that they be auto-generated by a script determining how the index is currently invoked to its Title/subpages, avoiding multiple uses of the same Page:space and so on, but will it build deeplinks to works that are underconstruction?
I don't know the appropriate parlance, but I'm trying to establish is what would be 'static' (needing updates or purging) and what would 'active' (resolves without intervention) . ”
