Usage

The parser function {{interlanguagelink: ... }} provides an interface to declare multilingual content using semantic annotations.

{{interlanguagelink: language code | interlanguage reference }}, the first argument specifies the language code (e.g es, ja) of the content while the second argument contains an arbitrary reference (interlanguage reference) that describes content of similar nature (content that should be connected to each other) for different languages.

The parser function {{interlanguagelist: ... }} can generate a customizable language target link list.

Other features

• The page content language is preset with the language annotated by interlanguagelink together with an auto-updated sitelink navigation for pages that point to the same interlanguage reference.
• A set of predefined properties ( Page content language, Interlanguage reference, Interwiki language, Interwiki reference, and Has interlanguage links) are provided and can be used to create customized #ask queries (e.g Has interlanguage links.Page content language).
• If a category page contains a Page content language annotation, SIL will filter and display only pages that match that content language. In cases where no language has been assigned (or filtering has been disabled), the category page will display all pages without changes or filtering.

Configuration

• $silgCacheType = CACHE_ANYTHING; is being set to be the default value to improve query lookups during each page view with cache invalidation being carried out during any delete, change or move action.
• $wgHideInterlanguageLinks is enabled (set to true), no sitelinks or annotations are created (in order to correspond to the MW default behaviour for interwiki links)
• If $wgPageLanguageUseDB was enabled and Special:PageLanguage assigned a different language from the annotated SIL value then the Page content language will be restored to provide consistency with the expected language
