Proposal 13-Feb-2006: Authentic language categories[edit]

  • Like this approach: (diff) Template:Wikinews
    • I started that Wikinews list with an all-English list and then realized that each one should be in it's own language, as they are on the main Wikinews site. What I'm not sure about now are duplicates. I replaced the ones I knew, but others I simply duplicated so they're listed both in their own language and also in English. Could someone remove the English ones if they're represented in their own languges? Thanks!
  • you turned links into their native language, from the english version. That is what I like, and would like to move Category Languages on. So for example, the Language: would be Română instead of Romanian
    • I think that's a great idea. Shouldn't be too hard to patrol the english-language versions of these categories to see when people put new wikis in them. Cool! TedErnst | talk 23:14, 20 May 2006 (EDT)
