Template talk:Main Page

Hey Carlos! Thank you for the Main Page in Spanish! But I'm genuinely at a loss: what's the purpose of this template? Cheers, IJzeren Jan 09:17, 22 Jul 2005 (PDT)

Add it to all other Main Pages and if a new language is added or a language is corrected you correct it only once: in the template.

PS. Hmmm. Language names are in portuguese... they should be written in local (as the language bar in Wikipedia)...

Yeah, but that's the whole point: it's not necessary supposed to be like the interwiki links in Wikipedia. Personally I prefer to have the language names translated into the different con- and natlangs (for no other reason than that it adds to the linguistic fun). This template here cóuld still be of use though: the way I picture it, we'll have a Main Page in "normal" English and a Main Page in IB English. The latter should IMO use the English names of the languages (Jovian, Slevan, Venedic, etc.), the former could use the template. Of course, a template is not really warranted in that case. --IJzeren Jan 11:20, 22 Jul 2005 (PDT)
