Forum:Launching Japanese Pikipedia Page
I'm a Japanese pikmin fan, and often research something related to pikmin. However, many Japanese information related to pikmin is now scattering, and want place to gather pikmin information in Japanese. If you guys don't mind, can I ask you to make Japanese branch here like Wikipedia? It is much more trustworthy than I make my own pikmin wiki in other websites. However, there are some issues. First, I can't find other Japanese editor besides me. I'm not belonged to any Japanese pikmin community (the only Japanese community is pikmin speedrun / challenge mode community?), so I cannot advertise this page. Second, I haven't experienced managing wikimedia, so I can't take responsible of controlling Japanese branch right now, if you admitted. I want your opinion for this topic. --PortableSunset (talk) 12:46, March 10, 2021 (EST)
- I think making a Japanese branch is possible, but Porplemontage can confirm. However, with just one editor, it is not likely that the wiki would grow well. If you could find more editors, I think it would be a good idea. As for managing the branch, I think that one way to have different wiki languages in MediaWiki is to have it all in the same wiki, but versions of pages on different languages would go in sub-pages. For example, Pikipedia has Cloaking Burrow-nit for the English documentation of the enemy, and then it could have "Cloaking Burrow-nit/jp" for a Japanese version of the page. This is what The Cutting Room Floor does, for example, but I think it's achieved with a MediaWiki addon. I'm not sure. If we use this format though, there wouldn't be much that needs to be managed. With all of that said, I have in the past visited this site. Isn't this a wiki? Maybe you could work there, if the idea to start a whole new branch here doesn't work out. — {EspyoT} 14:24, March 12, 2021 (EST)
