| | :: Maybe an incentive to clean them up? :) I think it would make sense to include a link, especially to 'smaller' languages. After all, if our aim is to promote those languages, it helps to show hopeful editors where to start and what we already have. It might also make people curious about the language in general. Think of it as a 'see also' section for a whole language. {{User:CodeCat/signature}} 22:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC) | | :: Maybe an incentive to clean them up? :) I think it would make sense to include a link, especially to 'smaller' languages.

| | + | ::: Part of the messiness to me is the lines that give you the error message to tell you that there is no Wiktionary in this language, the redlinks that say that this language doesn't have an index or an about page (because I can't find an active user with a good archiving bot and I don't always know enough to write an about page). If we really wanted a 'see also' for educational purposes, we'd link to [[w:French language|w:Foo language]]. If there are go-getter would-be editors excited by seeing a word from their language and ready to contribute, they'll click the feedback link (and FWIW, I do watch [[WT:FEED]]). --[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 22:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC) |
