Wouldn't it make more sense to sort this page by native and then seconday languages? Someone looking for a help with a particular language will probably find it easier to check it that way than if it's alphabetically sorted by our user names. |

(in my example [[Moderator Language/Native German|ModeratorLanguage/NativeGerman]], [[Moderator Language/Native French|ModeratorLanguage/NativeFrench]], [[Moderator Language/Secondary English|ModeratorLanguage/SecondaryEnglish]] and [[Moderator Language/Secondary Arabic|ModeratorLanguage/SecondaryArabic]]). Then you can just get a list of all people speaking natively German via [[Back Link|BackLink]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s.

This page is for collecting information about languages currently spoken by Moderators. This could help with various matters, for example when you are editing an entry in a language you don't know well and wish to have advice from someone who knows the language better.
The following SubPages list all moderators who speak that language
- /Arabic
- /Czech
- /Danish
- /Dutch (includes Flemish)
- /English
- /Esperanto
- /Finnish
- /French
- /German
- /Italian
- /Japanese
- /Latin
- /Norwegian
- /Russian
- /Slovak
- /Swedish
How to Add Yourself
Please add your native language(s) and any others that you feel proficient in or knowledgeable about.
This is how it works: Add the languages you know to your UserPage like this ["ModeratorLanguage/Klingon/Native"]. This way people will be able to find you using the BackLinks to the language-pages above. These language-pages all have exactly three SubPages: /Native, /Fluent, and /Some.
If you speak a language that is not listed here, please add and create the appropirate language-page using the ModeratorLanguageTemplate.

Discussion
Wouldn't it make more sense to sort this page by native and then seconday languages? Someone looking for a help with a particular language will probably find it easier to check it that way than if it's alphabetically sorted by our user names.
Um, this is a wiki and sorted lists do not make any sense here, really. Better use wiki featues instead: You could make a SubPage for each language (maybe like this /NativeEnglish and /SecondaryEnglish or leave the Native/Secondary part out). Then each Editor can add their language to their category person page here on the wiki. (in my example ModeratorLanguage/NativeGerman, ModeratorLanguage/NativeFrench, ModeratorLanguage/SecondaryEnglish and ModeratorLanguage/SecondaryArabic). Then you can just get a list of all people speaking natively German via BackLinks. MoinMoin offers the possibility to list these pages on this page with macros like [[FullSearch(ModeratorLanguage/NativeGerman)]]. See HelpOnMacros and HelpOnEditing/SubPages for details. --DonRedman

Well, something like this: One SubPage for each language like ModeratorLanguage/German and a sub-SubPage for the nativeness (sp?) like ModeratorLanguage/German/Native, ModeratorLanguage/German/Fluent, and ModeratorLanguage/German/Some. Unfortunately these are not WikiWords so you have to write ["ModeratorLanguage/German/Native"] on your user page. If I got Moin right, then you could have BackLinks to ModeratorLanguage/German and all its SubPages. That is what you want, isn't it? --DonRedman
