Added the template in Tamil Wiki and created one pretty url for the article malayalam. For example see, http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam
Minor tweaking of template is required. We will help to fix it.

Thanks Shiju. Should see if we can make sense from the malayalam page. Else, an english tutorial will be appreciated :)
Interestingly, the contributor profile for Ta Wiki is quite similar to ml wiki

Hi Shiju,
Good to know. I agree that until each wiki should become self-reliant without the need to refer en wiki for everything.
Pretty URL is cool. Is the script available?
Thanks,
Ravi

Let me try to answer your query, eventhough we stopped projecting the depth parameter. Now we are concentrating more on parameters like * edits/article*, *bytes per article*, *number of active users*, and so on.
- As you have mentioned above, depth shows the overall
collaboration. Edits in articles, talkpages, portal pages, templates, images, and so on helped in increasing the article count.
- We are away from increasing the article count by creating
one-liners. Remove all junk one-liners and big articles with english only content from your wiki. Depth will surely increase.
- Also the number edits are directly proportional to the number of
active and dedicated users. We have at least *40 users* with number of edita more than 1000. http://toolserver.org/~junaid/tools/editcount.php?wproject=wiki&wlan=ml&... 10 of them have number of edits more than 10,000.
All these have contributed depth of the wiki.
We are not allowing anyone to create one-liners just for the sake of increasing the article count. At least fundmental information is required in each and every article that is created in Malayalam Wikipedia. Because of that *our readers will not run to English wikipedia* to get the fundamental information about a topic.
We are trying to attract readers to wiki. The CD project/book project/wikiacademies/wiki meetups are all part of the public outreach programs. We have many users *who only reads ml wikipedia*. *After all if no one reads what we write, all our efforts are in vain.*
We give top priority to the usability part of the wiki. Because of that, you can see many things in Malayalam Wikipedia *that are not available in any other language wikipedia*. An example is *pretty url *itself.
We are trying to reach the other language wikipedians to get to know about their best practices. We feel no shy in copying their best practices.
There are more things. I will write about that some time later.
As in Tamil Wikipedia, *we also have problem in getting local Wikipedians to edit the wiki*. I will write about that later.
