You may also be interested in WikiProject Equine, which writes and improves articles about horses, horse sports (including the Olympic disciplines), horse care and training, or WikiProject Horse racing, which focuses on horse races, racehorses, and jockeys.

- 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)
