📋 URL Structure Proposal v2 — Wikimedia Analysis + Corrections

🔬 v2.1 — Based on comparative Wikimedia analysis 2026-06-10  🔄 2 major corrections integrated  ✅ 2026-06-12 — Coherence audit: contract ecosystem completed (10 dimensions)  🇫🇷 Version française

This v2 proposal corrects two fundamental points of v1 based on a comparative analysis of the 4 major Wikimedia projects (Commons, Meta-Wiki, Wikipedia EN, Wikibooks):
① Multilingual: every URL must include a language suffix (/en mandatory, even for English)  ·  ② Contracts = articles (core marketplace content, not governance)

🔬 1. Comparative Analysis — 4 Wikimedia Projects

Each Wikimedia project has developed its own conventions to separate governance, content, and multilingual structure. These patterns are the foundation of our v2 proposal.

Aspect analyzed 🖼️ Wikimedia Commons
commons.wikimedia.org		 🌐 Meta-Wiki
meta.wikimedia.org		 📖 Wikipedia EN
en.wikipedia.org		 📚 Wikibooks
en.wikibooks.org
Governance / rules namespace Commons:
E.g.: Commons:Project_scope, Commons:Deletion_policy, Commons:Licensing		 Meta:
E.g.: Meta:About, Meta:Babel		 Wikipedia:
E.g.: Wikipedia:Core_content_policies, Wikipedia:NPOV, Wikipedia:Namespace		 Wikibooks:
E.g.: Wikibooks:Policies_and_guidelines, Wikibooks:Community_Portal
Main content namespace File: (media)
Files are the core content. E.g.: File:Cat.jpg		 (main) no prefix
Coordination pages. E.g.: Terms_of_use, Stewards		 (main) no prefix
Encyclopedic articles. E.g.: Switzerland, Cooperative		 (main) no prefix
Collaborative books. E.g.: Calculus, Python_Programming
Thematic portals Commons:Portal or categories
E.g.: Commons:Photography, Commons:Arts		 Project pages in main
E.g.: Wikimedia_Forum, Research		 Portal: (namespace 100)
E.g.: Portal:Science, Portal:Arts — 5000+ portals		 Subject: namespace or categories
E.g.: Subject:Mathematics
Multilingual — main pattern Subpages /language
E.g.: Commons:Policies_and_guidelines/fr, /de, /es…
All languages on the same domain		 Subpages /language
E.g.: Meta:About/fr, Meta:About/de, Meta:About/ru…
Same domain meta.wikimedia.org		 Subdomains
fr.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org, es.wikipedia.org… each language = separate wiki		 Subdomains
fr.wikibooks.org, de.wikibooks.org… same model as Wikipedia
Default language (no prefix) Implicit English (no /en)
But all translations are explicit subpages /fr /de etc.		 Implicit English (no /en)
Same convention: the version without suffix = EN		 Subdomain en.wikipedia.org
English has its own subdomain — no "language-less" version		 Subdomain en.wikibooks.org
Same logic: /en is explicit via the subdomain
Community Portal Commons:Community_portal
Content: policies, backlogs, elections, contests, GLAM, multilingualism. NOT the media files themselves.		 Main page + coordination forums
Meta is entirely dedicated to coordination. No separate "portal".		 Wikipedia:Community_portal
Content: to-do, articles to improve, ongoing discussions. NOT the encyclopedic articles.		 Wikibooks:Community_Portal
Content: collaborative projects, discussions, resources. NOT the books themselves.
Governance / content separation Strict: Commons: = rules. File: = media. Never mixed. Total: Meta-Wiki is entirely governance. Content lives elsewhere. Strict: Wikipedia: = rules. (main) = articles. Portal: = thematic portals. Strict: Wikibooks: = rules. (main) = collaborative books.
WikiDeal analogy Commons = media repository
WikiDeal = contract repository
Contracts are WikiDeal's "File:"		 Meta = institutional governance
meta.wikideal.net? for central governance		 Wikipedia = encyclopedic articles
WikiDeal = contract pages + marketplace portals
Structure (main) + Portal: → Contract: + Market:		 Wikibooks = collaborative books
WikiDeal = collaborative contracts
Same idea: co-created content organized by topic

1.1 Real URLs observed on each project

🖼️ Commons — Observed URLs

🌐 Meta-Wiki — Observed URLs

📖 Wikipedia EN — Observed URLs

📚 Wikibooks — Observed URLs

💡 2. Lessons for WikiDeal

🖼️ From Commons → WikiDeal

🌐 From Meta-Wiki → WikiDeal

📖 From Wikipedia → WikiDeal

📚 From Wikibooks → WikiDeal

✅ 3. Corrections Integrated in Proposal v2

🔧 Correction 1: Multilingual — /en mandatory on all URLs

v1 problem: URLs had no language suffix. WikiDeal:Arbitration presupposed English as the "prefix-less" default.

v2 solution: Every URL — whether in English or any other language — must carry an explicit language suffix.

Phase Pattern Example
Phase 1 (now) wikideal.net/wiki/[Page]/en wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration/en
Phase 1 (translation) wikideal.net/wiki/[Page]/fr wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration/fr
Phase 2 (long term) en.wikideal.net/wiki/[Page] en.wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration

Inspired by: Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org — English has its own subdomain) + Commons/Meta (explicit /fr subpages). English is never "the version without a prefix" — it is a version like any other.
🔧 Correction 2: Contracts = Articles (marketplace content), not governance

v1 problem: Contracts appeared in the Community Portal and were treated as "separate" resources, between the rules and the marketplace.

v2 solution: Contracts are WikiDeal's equivalent of Wikipedia articles. They are the wiki's core content, organized through marketplace portals.

Analogy:
Wikipedia WikiDeal
Article: Switzerland Contract: Contract:Babysitting_Base/en
Portal:Geography → geo articles Market:Babysitting → babysitting contracts
Wikipedia:NPOV (rule) WikiDeal:Contract_Governance/en (rule)
Talk:Switzerland (discussion) Contract_talk:Babysitting_Base (discussion)

Each contract has an ecosystem of satellite pages: individual clauses, legal references, use cases, alerts.
💡 Option: meta.wikideal.net for institutional governance

Inspired by: meta.wikimedia.org — a subdomain entirely dedicated to institutional coordination.

Proposal: Advantage: Total governance/content separation, as at Wikimedia. Governance can evolve independently of content.
✅ Validated with Theo — Recommended for phase 2 minimum.

🔄 4. Migration Path: /lang Suffix → Subdomain Prefix

The current suffix structure (/en, /fr) is designed to make a later migration to subdomains easy. It is not a compromise — it is a deliberate phase 1 choice with a planned trajectory towards en.wikideal.net, fr.wikideal.net, etc.

🛠️ The migration is technically trivial

📅 Deployment phases

🔀 Concrete migration example — WikiDeal:Arbitration

Step URL Status
Phase 1 (now) wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration/en ✅ Active page
Phase 2 (target) en.wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration 🎯 New canonical URL
Auto redirect wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration/en  →  301  →  en.wikideal.net/wiki/WikiDeal:Arbitration 🔄 nginx regex block
✅ Conclusion: The suffix structure is a deliberate phase 1 choice. Migration to subdomains is planned and technically trivial — about ten lines of nginx config + native MediaWiki #REDIRECTs. No link will ever break thanks to permanent 301 redirects.

📋 5. Strategic Decisions to Validate

⚠️ These 4 decisions require explicit validation before implementation ❓ 4 decisions pending
# Decision ✅ Recommendation 🔀 Alternative 💬 Justification Status
1 meta.wikideal.net
Subdomain dedicated to institutional governance, inspired by meta.wikimedia.org 		❌ NOT for now
Keep everything on wikideal.net with the WikiDeal: namespace 		Separate subdomain
meta.wikideal.net
like meta.wikimedia.org 		~15 governance pages currently → a separate subdomain = unnecessary complexity at this stage.
Create meta.wikideal.net when volume > 500 governance pages. 		❓
2 Contracts — dedicated namespace
Where to host contracts: centralized Contract: or subpages of Market:? 		✅ YES — centralized Contract:
E.g.: Contract:Babysitting_Base/en 		Contracts as portal subpages:
Market:Babysitting/Contract_Base/en 		Transversality: the same contract can serve several Market: portals.
Contract: = core content (≈ Wikipedia articles).
No dependency on a specific portal. 		❓
3 support/ pages
Dashboard, wallet, register, simulation, buy-subscription… 		❌ OUTSIDE THE WIKI
→ app.wikideal.net, not MediaWiki 		Pages in MediaWiki:
Support:Dashboard/en 		Dashboard, wallet, register, simulation = application features, not editorial content.
MediaWiki is not an application framework — do not mix. 		❓
4 community/ pages
Apply_Developer, Apply_Lawyer, Create_User_Group… 		✅ WikiDeal:Meta/
E.g.: WikiDeal:Meta/Apply_Developer/en 		Dedicated namespace:
Community:Apply_Developer/en 		Internal project procedures, not encyclopedic articles.
WikiDeal:Meta/ = wiki operational layer — the right layer for participation processes. 		❓

🏛️ 7. Community Portal v2 — Without the Contracts

Key v1→v2 difference: The Community Portal no longer lists contracts. Contracts live in their respective Market: portals. The Community Portal remains dedicated to governance, rules, and participation.
