Topic on Talk:Cross-wiki Search Result Improvements/Design

Will wikis have the option to keep the current more comprehensive style, which includes direct links to the target pages?

Note: this topic thread was originally on email - the multiple answers to the question are below:

  1. Yes, we plan on having a type of switch in order for individual wikipedias to not show (and not fetch) the search results from other wikis of the same language, if that is what is preferred.
  2. We think that @Nemo may have meant using the style like that on theĀ Italian Wikipedia results.
  3. Whether there will be multiple interfaces available for cross-wiki results is not something I know the answer to.
  4. Well, we're still in the early stages here as you can see from the timeline, so it is possible that the first release of the product could include this. We could generate a few mockups which include direct links to the target pages. Would you be interested in looking at those, if we did?
  5. We do have one sample treatment, modified from fr.wiki, that shows links to direct articles in the sister projects in the search results.
