Graph showing which articles link to each other for incubator
Problem: This isn’t really a problem that necessary harms users, just a suggestion for something that would help.
Proposed solution: For every test wiki, it will be possible to choose an article, then get a graph with arrows showing what articles the specified article links to, and what articles the linked articles link to. Probably a maximum of 3-5 jumps.
Who would benefit: Editors in test wikis in the incubator.
More comments: Will be useful to estimate how much content the test wiki has and if it uses wikilinks correctly.
Comment since Special:WhatLinksHere already exits, it’s possible to use the same algorithm and creating a graph of what pages link to this page, again a maximum of 3-5 jumps. Both would be equally useful so implement the way that will be easiest to implement. -Gifnk dlm 2020From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 13:57, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The result will be a png image which can be uploaded to commons. -Gifnk dlm 2020From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 14:27, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Gifnk dlm 2020: Some sort of visual link graph tool exists, I know because I've seen it before... alas I cannot find it! Perhaps someone else reading this proposal will know what I'm talking about; but regardless there's a good chance the tool doesn't support Incubator wikis. As you say Special:WhatLinksHere and the database tables it uses can be queried directly, so this seems perfectly feasible. However this proposal might have better chances if you ask for a link graph tool that works on any wiki, including Incubator wikis. Just a suggestion!

@MusikAnimal (WMF):, thank you very much! It will probably really be better for all wikis and not just incubator to be helpful for a wider variety of contributors. I feel like it will be useful only for Wikipedia and test Wikipedia projects and suggested it as a tool that will help incubating however if it’s useful also for other purposes I’m all for it. -Gifnk dlm 2020From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 07:54, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, it will help us a lot while working in incubator test wikis. :) Haoreima (talk) 07:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Strong support as proposer. This will help test wikis in the incubator but can also be implemented in Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. I imagine incubator is the wiki which will get the most practical uses out of it but there’s no reason not to support other wikis as well if not all wikis. -Gifnk dlm 2020From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 18:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
