[edit] Language tables and templates

We are creating some templates and tables to help navigate between languages. Meta is a Wikimedia Foundation site that helps people from many languages learn how to use MediaWiki. See if the MediaWiki Handbook shows up in your language and let us know.

Template:1 looks like this:

Pen Pal Wiki is Multilingual! A few of the languages we're working on:

中文 Chinese | Español Spanish | English English | Português Portuguese | Русский Russian | 日本語 Japanese | Deutsch German | 한국어 Korean | Français French | Italiano Italian | Polski Polish | Kurdî Kurdish | Română Romanian | Nederlands Dutch | Svenska Swedish | اردو Urdu | Esperanto Esperanto | Magyar Hungarian

You can put it on a page by simply using {{1}}. If your language is not represented there let us know on Template talk:1.

Template:2 looks like this: under construction

These are still a bit rough, but I'm going to try to make them smoother over the next month. I speak only English, so if I make a mistake on one of your language's pages, please correct me! CQ 15:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Good use of templates, and good use of ultra-short names for them! Robin Patterson 06:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Not a category in sight!! (Really: zero, zilch, not a sausage.) Surely there hasn't been a decision not to have categories? Top-level Category:Browse would match Central Wikia and several other Wikia. Then down from there. I could model some on the cities and genealogy Wikia, but the founder here should have the major say because he understands the subject best. Any thoughts?

Perzactly, Robin. Categories can get out of hand really quickly if not structured at the ground floor. I'm thinking Categories here will be for language groups and and the age groups that User:Markdarb was setting up. Category:Browse is a great place to start. We just haven't gotten that far yet.

[edit] Society Gardens

As this wiki currently appears inactive it has been removed from wikia:Society Gardens, but may of course be put back on the list if it becomes active again Philralph 18:11, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
