For now, I will concentrate on tidying up the German project, however, once that is done (or at least, started...), I may start contributing to old German breeds that were requested here :) Thanks for the invitation tho, I hope this will work out in the future! --Fallen Sheep (talk) 10:28, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Interlanguage links

Rather than clog up MontanaBW's talk page, I thought I might share with you a way of making Wikidata accept site links to a section of an article. Let's say you have an article on Widgets and that another language has a separate article on the crumley, which is a type of widget, but in this Wikipedia, crumleys are just a subsection of the Widget article, say at Widget#Crumley. You first create a one-line article called Crumley saying something like "See Widget#Crumley" – overwrite any existing redirect. You now go to the Wikidata entry for crumley and you'll find you can make the site-link to Crumley on this Wikipedia. Once you've saved it, you can then return to the article you created here called Crumley and turn it into a redirect to the Widget#Crumley section. Job done. --RexxS (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I had to read this properly and it took me a while to come back to it (thank you for the comment, nonetheless!). So a Redirect can be a Wikidata object as long as you trick it into believing its a proper article (first)? Is this also commonly accepted and appreciated (here)? --Fallen Sheep (talk) 00:00, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Whatever RexxS says. He understands the technical stuff better than I do! Montanabw^(talk) 03:34, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Indeed, Fallen Sheep. As long as the Wikipedia page is not a redirect when the site-link is made on Wikidata, the interlanguage link remains even if the Wikipedia page is changed to a redirect afterwards. It is generally unappreciated here, and not many folks would understand the point of it, but it works and causes no harm. --RexxS (talk) 12:25, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
