New Commons interwiki

Sigh. It might be confusing because if you are on another Wikimedia wiki, then "COM:" will not work. Ahri Boy (talk) 01:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

@Ahri Boy, it definitely works if you do the rightway, it is similar to Wikipedia: namespace or Meta: namespace. For example, c:COM:Licensing or en:Wikipedia:Username policy, or similar. The interwiki replaces the url only before the page name starts. So wherever COM:/Commons: is in the page name, you have to enter it in following commons:/c: or whatever the interwiki is. As such

Oppose, this request doesn't make sense to me. _signed,Aafi ^(talk) 05:52, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

This doesn't make sense to me either. And the term "com" is heavily overloaded, including a conflict with the Comanche language given we're not supposed to have interwikis conflict with language codes. Not done * Pppery * _{it has begun} 06:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Tolkien Gateway is an established wiki about J.R.R Tolkien's legendarium. The site offers subject matter expertise that often fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines and is useful to provide external links to. The wiki's domain currently has over 1,000 global search results. It does not have any history of spam, vandalism, or malware. Continuously maintained for over two decades with the same URL's, very low chance of link rot. Similar existing interwikis include Wookieepedia, MemoryAlpha, WoWWiki, etc. --Hyarion (talk) 03:57, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Added to the list. It will take a week or two for the next interwiki map deploy. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 17:24, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
