Multilingual wiki
- Idea for multilingual wiki, using extentions
There is this awesome Mediawiki extention that allows users to translate our wiki. We should totally get it. You can even see it in action on the actual mediawiki since they have it installed.
- Extension:Translate
- Manual:Extensions (manual on extensions)
- Idea for multilingual wiki, using namespaces
This is an idea for multilingual wiki without the need of installing extentions or modules. But its more complex to manage and hard to keep up with.
There are things called namespaces on the wiki, they create different areas on the wiki which can even be separated by unique themes. Most familiar one is the "Template:" or "Help:". Normal users cannot create new namespaces and such things.
We could simply create namespaces based on the Language short-code (the two letter code), such as "Is:" for íslenska, "Fr:" for français, "Es:" for español and so on.
- The thing is that if I name a page "Is:Aviaa" without the namespace actually existing, then its just a oddly named page. But if its actually a namespace then it can be used for sorting and managing the different namespaces. Just like how we can actually make the Contributor "Help:" area look different, we could make a unique logo-image appear when on different language areas.
- We could just narrow it down to the most common languages that are playing the game, there might be some translators that are interested.
