Hello. I would like to bring your attention to the following wikis:

Unlinked wikis
These wikis are not linked to your wiki.

Unlinked but ineligible
These wikis are not linked to this wiki, but you cannot link them without unlinking another wiki in another language, in the next section down. Don't be afraid to do that if you feel it is necessary!

Linked
Finally a third category. The following wikis which are in languages correctly interlanguage linked to your wiki:

As the administrator of my own Wolfenstein Wiki, I would recommend that the unlinked wikis in the first category be interlanguage linked to this wiki. In addition, you may review existing interlanguage links.

What does interlanguage linking do?

 * See also: Help:Interlanguage link

Basically, all it does is let you place a link to the foreign language site on the bottom of the page. For an example with seven, see your own main page! You have several wikis already linked- they appear in the bottom in the "Languages" section, or on the left in the "in other languages" section.

Why should I do this?
The effects it will have on your wiki are small. The effects it will have on foreign language wikis can be very large- the best thing that can happen to a wiki is to find new users, and by latching onto a larger English wiki, they can attract more users.

Why should I not do this?
There's practically no reason not to. Seriously.

You lose nothing, and the other wikis have everything to gain. Some will note that the fledgling wikis listed above are smaller than your wiki. Yes, correct, but it does nothing to make them any less valid wikis. They just need a little love and attention, and the best way for them to get this love and attention is through linking them to the English wiki.

How do I do this?
You can go to w:Community Central:Interlanguage link requests and file a request to make any links you like, I would strongly recommend that you link all the new wikis to all the other languages as well for cross-wiki compatibility.

But honestly, I recommend you give me permission to take care of any changes you would greenlight. Just give me permission, as an administrator, and I will take care of everything- linking all the four new wikis to every other wiki. I do this for a lot of wikis, so I know what I am doing.

Thank you very much for contribting to the international wiki community!
