Did you know that Wikia boasts an international taskforce of editors dedicated to spreading knowledge about Doctor Who in several different languages? It's true!
You may have noticed links at the bottom of some pages, listing the other languages in which articles are available. (Take a look at the bottom of the article about Rose Tyler for instance.)
Well, those links — called interlanguage links, or just ILL for short — don't happen automatically. They have to be placed manually — and of course someone has to write the article in another language for the links to be valid.
So we need help. Here are some examples of the kinds of tasks that need doing:
- If you can write in Spanish, consider heading over to the Spanish site and translating one of our articles over there. There's gotta be some of our American editors who have enough Spanish fluency to tackle a few articles.
- If you can just read the Cyrillic alphabet, consider helping to make ILLs between this wiki and the Russian or Bulgarian versions. A lot of the Russian article names are simple transliterations of English. As long as you can handle the Cyrillic alphabet, you can make a good ILL.
- If you speak Polish, (European) Portuguese, Italian, Korean or Turkish, think about trying to adopt the Polish, Portuguese, Italian or Korean sites and get them restarted.
- Help us make links between this site and the French, Spanish, German and Hebrew sites. These are the four most active international wikis, and they all have hundreds of articles which aren't linked here yet.
This new forum stands ready as a place to discuss the various issues surrounding international linkage. It's a somewhat specialised field that not every Wikian cares about. But it's important, if detailed, work that needs to be supported.
