From [[RayKing]]:  Ben shut off that extension because it was somehow being abused and we were seeing problems on ICANNWiki which shares the same server (these are the only 2 sites on this server).  I'm cc'ing Jonah (ICANNWiki) and Ben now, having just read the thread in your e-mail to see if there's a resolution to both issues. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]

: From [[Emufarmers]]:  I've added a robots.txt file telling bots not to crawl the dynamically generated pages; it looks like in this case it was probably a well-intentioned spider.  I've re-enabled Semantic MediaWiki for now, though I can't guarantee that I won't have to disable it again.

'''[[:Category:Wiki Language]]''' Rather than use only English names (easy for navigation but arbitrary and defeats multi-lingualism), we could use some system of ISO codes such as "[[:Category:en (English)]]", "[[:Category:de (German, Deutsch)]]", "[[:Category:es (Spanish, español)]]", "[[:Category:zh (Chinese, 中文)]]". This would have some consistency and standardization while also allowing English to remain a lingua franca and let users find content in their own language. Thoughts?

: I think this is a fantastic idea.  What can folks do to help? ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
:: '''Converting''' I think it would be easy to do by myself. I'll leave this conversation here for a week or two and see if there's more feedback. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 00:54, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is a good idea. Previous attempts of extended multilingual efforts on WikiIndex failed.  The German de.WikiIndex.org failed, as did French & Swedish translations - despite having active editors in those languages.
I would also expect that only a tiny minority of folks <u>fully</u> understand ISO language codes.  --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 23:58, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
: '''Language sorting''' Then how should we sort them? Do we want this site to be multi-lingual? I would certainly hope so. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 05:53, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
:: I look at is as an "easy" way to take a step in that direction.  Makes it more friendly to multi-linguists. Or at least that is the perception I have. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
