List of conlangs

I put the list of conlangs started by User:Mos into a scroll box so that it doesn't take too much room on the page -- since it potentially may contain most pages on the wiki! I also made it into a DPL list of pages that are members of Category:Conlangs (but not ATM its subcategories). That way it becomes easier to maintain and more democratic, in that everyone decides for themselves if their page should belong to Category:Conlangs and thus be included in the list.

Those lists might have been useful when conlang wikis were new and we didn't have much to show... I've replaced them with links to the categories; my apologies to anyone who got really attached to their front page exposure. —Muke Tever | ✎ 15:58, 13 February 2008 (PST)

IMHO category pages are pretty darn ugly. If you don't mind I'll create a series of List of... pages with DPL, then see to it that all pages that are now in List of Conlangs ate tagged with Category:Conlangs and convert that to DPL as well. They will take up vitually no space on the server that way. BPJ 07:39, 14 February 2008 (PST)

Revamp time?

This page is mighty plain and could use some beautification. I'm no good at that, but if anyone wants to try their hand... —Muke Tever | ✎ 15:58, 13 February 2008 (PST)

Translations of This Page

Would it be possible to have a Wikipedia-style languages box below the toolbox (at the left side of the page) to show the languages in which the main page is available?

Could be; I'd have to look into it. Unlike Wikipedia, the interlanguage links would be to elsewhere in the same database. It might not be too difficult, or it might cause the universe to explode. I suppose the hard part would be in getting the language names to display like they do in Wikipedia. Without some hacking, each language wanting an interlanguage link prefix would have to be set up separately. —Muke Tever | ✎ 19:41, 31 March 2008 (PDT)
