Hello. Sorry if this has been discussed before, or the place would be better on meta (in which case could someone post there and/or gimme the appropriate url? :) Here's a (rough) proposal for managing different language of pages, heavily based on [[m:Translation requests]]. When someone creates a new page (not translate an existing one), s/he creates two pages like that: * My page (title in original language) * My page/<language code> In the first page, put link the 2nd, stating that's the original language. Then fill in 2nd. Maybe put timestamps of last change on 1st so easy to check when original changed. When someone translates ''My page'' to language xx, do translation in [[My page/xx]], and link from [[My page]]. When writing another page that links to ''My page'', try to link to [[My page/xx]]. If nothing, link to [[My page]] - it'll make people want to translate ''My page'', and point the page does exist - though not (yet) in language you'd want. If you want to link to a page you know doesn't exist, just link to [[Future page]], without /. This way, when [[Future page]] does get created, ''what links here'' will tell us which links need to be fixed to correct language. I hope it's clear lol. The benefits i see are: * when translating another document, easy to know which articles are translations of articles - either [[link/<my language>]], and if red [[link]] (assuming original link is not broken) * each page have a ''disambiguation''-like page, to link all versions and not forget a page here & there :) * you won't have someone translate [[Board]] to [[Conseil d'administration]] and someone else to [[Board/fr]], and thus don't need to check broken links or duplicates and whatever * software could prolly (though developers will know better'an me ;p) be tweaked to check for [[article/<browser language>]] when someone asks for [[article]], and fallback on latter if not found - thus one day we can link straight to [[article]] On the bad side: * page title is always ''original language'' title, whatever the language the page actually is Nicolas 'Ryo'
