:I think Speckmade initiated the parallel categories for languages. I've tried to help correct pages that ended up being miscategorized as a result of the change. However, I would prefer the simpler solution of putting all wikis about language itself into a [[:Category:Linguistics]] or some such. The disadvantage of not being able to easily find a specific language is true, but I think it's an easier-to-maintain solution. Also, if we find that a sub-category is needed for any particular language due to a large number of entries in the linguistics category, we can always add that later. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 20:36, 30 March 2009 (EDT) | :I think Speckmade initiated the parallel categories for languages.

'''[[: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?
