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. |
|||
* See [[:Category:User Language]] for a list of all languages spoken by users where the information is still stored in this wiki. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
So please add your native language(s) and any others that you feel proficient in or knowledgeable about. |
|||
(This could be an RFE and we could ask for this to be put on the Moderator Profile page but then we will need a search function and so on: maybe this simple page could do the work.) |

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 [[Sub Page|SubPage]] for each language (maybe like this [[Moderator Language/Native English|/NativeEnglish]] and [[Moderator Language/Secondary English|/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 [[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. [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] offers the possibility to list these pages on this page with macros like <code><nowiki>[[FullSearch(ModeratorLanguage/NativeGerman)]]</nowiki></code>. See [[MoinMoin:HelpOnMacros|HelpOnMacros]] and [[MoinMoin:HelpOnEditing/SubPages|HelpOnEditing/SubPages]] for details. --[[User:DonRedman|DonRedman]] |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I like this idea more, although I think I would prefer 'native', 'fluent' and 'some' to 'native' and 'secondary'. Secondary doesn't really give us any idea of just how much of the language someone speaks, Rob's English is obviously much better than, say, [[Lu Kz|LuKz]]' because he actually lives in an English speaking country. Is there a way of doing it so that you could get a list of all English speakers, and then if you wanted, a list of all native English speakers? --[[User:Nikki|Nikki]] |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Well, something like this: One [[Sub Page|SubPage]] for each language like [[Moderator Language/German|ModeratorLanguage/German]] and a sub-[[Sub Page|SubPage]] for the nativeness (sp?) like [[Moderator Language/German/Native|ModeratorLanguage/German/Native]], [[Moderator Language/German/Fluent|ModeratorLanguage/German/Fluent]], and [[Moderator Language/German/Some|ModeratorLanguage/German/Some]]. Unfortunately these are not [[Wiki Word|WikiWord]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s so you have to write <code><nowiki>["ModeratorLanguage/German/Native"]</nowiki></code> on your user page. If I got Moin right, then you could have [[Back Link|BackLink]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s to ModeratorLanguage/German and all its [[Sub Page|SubPage]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. That is what you want, isn't it? --[[User:DonRedman|DonRedman]] |
