Other discussion

If it is approved, website url is yue.wikinews.org or zh-yue.wikinews.org?-HW 06:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

It should be zh-yue.wikinews.org, as like as zh-yue.wikipedia.org.--J.Wong 15:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

But it would move to yue.wikinews.org when the Wikipedia is finally moved to yue.wikipedia.org... Cbrown1023 talk 20:27, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
