Wikipedia Translator

[BarryNorton]

Cleaning up against a single base URI breaks Wikipedia references as the language is encoded in the domain. Since the base URI is currently hard-coded to "wikipedia.org/wiki/" every URI breaks, but even "en.wikipedia.org/wiki" wouldn't work.

why do you think it will break the URIs. The universal wikipedia URI should redirect you to a client specific URI when derefencing it with a client, or? - e.g. when I type http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin in my browser it redirects to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin

But changing http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Charlatans_(englische_Band) to http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Charlatans_(englische_Band) results, from my browsers, in a redirect to http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Charlatans_(englische_Band) which is broken

ah, okay, got it. of course, you could disable this parsing for Wikipedia translator and pipe the URI directly without any modification. However, I think it might more be an issue of currently Wikipedia URI design. For our example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Charlatans_%28UK_band%29 exists as well (so it's "just" the simply type addition at the end which differs between the URIs). Maybe Wikidata will hopefully come around with a solution for this issue ... ;)
