Column for creation date

[edit]

Could the creation date please be added in a column, so we can sort them by this criterion if needed? Ash Crow (talk) 14:59, 27 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Interslavic language English name error

[edit]

The English name for Wp/isv would be Interslavic Wikipedia, as Interslavic is the English name of the language. However, there seems to be an error where the local name "medžuslovjansky" appears where "Interslavic" should be. This is also making the link provided by the table search for a "medžuslovjansky language" article in the English Wikipedia, which does not exist as the actual article would be "Interslavic language". The same error appears in other pages as well, such as the Incubator main page. Beni-Enma Alter (talk) 23:51, 27 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, that's clearly a mistake. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? IJzeren Jan (talk) 22:04, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
After opening for example the article Poljska in ISV Wikipedia, I can go to upper right corner and switch to other languages. However, there is no option to switch to article in Interslavic/medžuslovjansky from the articles in other languages, like Poland in English Wikipedia, or Polska in Polish Wikipedia. Looks like there are missing Wikidata links.
Congratulations on Interslavic Wikipedia! ~2026-37471-15 (talk) 06:49, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
More about Poland in English Wikipedia, Polska in (Polish Wikipedia), Poljska in Interslavic Wikipedia. There is no isv on this website in the section with the list of Wikipedias:   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36#sitelinks-wikipedia         ~2026-37471-15 (talk) 09:52, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Don't worry, this is usually done by a bot within a few days after a new wiki has been created. At the moment, isvwiki still uses the {{INTERWIKI}} template from the Incubator, that's why you can switch to other languages but not vice versa. Isvwiki should be enabled on Wikidata soon.

Just to let you know. Still it is not possible to switch to ISV Wiki from articles in other languages. ~2026-37471-15 (talk) 14:20, 9 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I can now confirm that the bug has been resolved now. The table now correctly displays Interslavic as the English name. Polda18 (talkmy contributions) 12:59, 13 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

Please, correct English name for language mentioned in the table in the paragraph "All Wikipedias ordered by number of articles".

It is now:
Language Language (local) Wiki
298 medžuslovjansky medžuslovjansky isv


It should be:
Language Language (local) Wiki
298 Interslavic medžuslovjansky isv

@~2026-37471-15: This is probably because {{#language:isv|en}}/mw.language.fetchLanguageName(lang, 'en') (Module:List of wikis by project#L-43) returns medžuslovjansky. That is to say, this should be fixed at the source. I don't recall exactly how to do that, but it probably requires a Phabricator task. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 18:13, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Definition of USERS

[edit]

It would be helpful to define "USERS." The definition of "ACTIVE USERS" seems fairly clear since it refers to "USERS". But in the table, what is the precise definition of "USERS" ? Is someone who corrects a spelling mistake is considered a USER ? What about contributors using an IP address and contributors who have created a registered account ? Berdea (talk) 14:12, 30 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

The numbers link to (the local equivalents of) Special:ListUsers, so it’s IMO quite clear that the numbers refer to the item counts of those pages. Those pages list registered users, i.e. non-IP users, whether they have made any edits or not. I think they include temporary users as well, though I’m not entirely sure about that part. “Active users” also has a meaning defined by the corresponding special page: users who have made at least one edit in the past 30 days. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 18:38, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
