Eric,
Good tool.
Can this be used to display banners country wide or state wide?
Many Indian Wikipedian users don't even know about the existance of regional
language Wikipedias. So, if we can display a banner at the top giving links
to regional Wikipedias, it will greatly boost the awareness about them.
Sites like
WordPress.com do this already.
The goal is to develop the capability for countrywide banners at
minimum, and we're testing the database to see if we can target
smaller regions as well. Yes, making the existence of language
versions known is one possible use. :-)
Feel free to leave comments/questions on the talk page for the project
