Wikipedia:WikiProject QRpedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"WP:QR" redirects here. For the QR code generator, see Special:QrCode.

A project for Wikipedians implementing QRpedia.

Want to get started? See our user guide.

Aims

[edit]
  1. To encourage and assist the implementation of QRpedia by outside organisations
  2. to record those organisations' use of QRpedia on the talk pages of articles about them
  3. to document QRpedia on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, etc.
  4. to assist in resolving bugs and issues, and the development of QRpedia

Development

[edit]

The following issues are being discussed:

Case studies

[edit]

See our case studies. For more general coverage, see below.

Coverage

[edit]

See outreach:QRpedia#Coverage.

URL formats

[edit]

QRpedia shortlinks have URLs like: 

  http://en.qrwp.org/Shire_Hall,_Monmouth

Where:

  • en is the Country Code for the Wikipedia instance
  • Shire_Hall,_Monmouth is the article name in that language

QRpedia automatically detects the user's language and redirects them to a Wikipedia article in their language. A French user clicking on http://en.qrwp.org/Shire_Hall,_Monmouth would be taken to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shire_Hall_(Monmouth) and a Russian user scanning the same code would go to https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Шайр-Холл_(Монмут)

This means the above URL could also be written as https://hi.qrwp.org/शायर_हॉल for the Hindi Wikipedia.

QRpedia images have URLs like: 

  http://qrpedia.org/qr/php/qr.php?size=800&download=Shire_Hall&e=L&d=http://en.qrwp.org/Shire_Hall,_Monmouth

where:

  • size=800 is the image size in pixels
  • e=L sets the eve of error correction (Low or High); use High for codes displayed outdoors
  • download=Shire_Hall is the file name of the image when downloaded
